$6 billion Binance hack sends bitcoin, ether tumbling; Standard Chartered expects more pain

🔍 Executive Brief:
Binance’s suspected $6.3 billion hack triggered a sharp sell‑off, sending Bitcoin and Ether down 8‑10% as traders rushed to liquidate positions. The breach, coupled with a Polymarket exploit, has amplified fears of systemic risk and eroded confidence in crypto custodians.

📊 Trader Lens & Market Flow:
Liquidity dried up across spot and futures markets, with open interest in BTC and ETH contracts falling as traders pulled out, tightening the order book and widening spreads. Institutional players are tightening risk controls, likely reducing exposure and seeking safer, more liquid assets, which could prolong a bearish base before a potential rebound.
