BINANCE JUST GOT REKT FOR $5.6B IN 40 MINUTES
Here's what went down:
$5.6B drained from Binance hot wallets in under an hour. $ETH, $USDT, $USDC, 60+ tokens gone. Attacker funded via Tornado Cash.
Biggest exchange hack in history. Makes Bybit's $1.5B look like a warmup.
CZ (no longer runs Binance but still shareholder): "User funds are safe. We'll cover 100%."
Binance official line: Investigating. All user funds secured.
STABLECOIN RESPONSE WAS INSTANT:
Tether froze $1.5B $USDT
Circle froze $823M $USDC
Total: $2.4B locked in minutes
What they CAN'T freeze: ~195k $ETH + ~16.7k $BTC still moving
MARKET REACTION:
$BTC dropped below $78.5k
$BNB tanked 6%
$450M in longs liquidated
Remember FTX 2022? Users lost everything. Today the biggest CEX says full coverage + half the loot frozen instantly.
Where are YOUR bags right now? CEX or self-custody?
