Bitcoin briefly breaks through $64,000

Crypto analyst Darkfost said in a post that after Binance suffered a $6.3 billion asset theft, its major token reserves saw a relatively limited decline on the day. He noted that despite the attack’s massive scale, reserve changes indicate the platform still has the ability to absorb the impact and minimize harm to users. Per his tracking, within the relevant block range, Binance outflowed 18,279 BTC, 185 million XRP, and $1.67 billion worth of USDT. ETH was withdrawn in two batches: 167,464 and 79,376, totaling 246,840 ETH. Daily reserve changes show: BTC reserves dropped 3.1% to over 682,000; ETH reserves fell 8.5% to 3.3 million; XRP reserves decreased 8% to 2.47 billion; USDT reserves fell 6.3% to 34.1 billion. Darkfost concluded that the impact on the platform’s reserves was relatively limited, and the effect on users appeared minor. On asset freezing, roughly $3 billion in assets have been frozen, including $1.567 billion in USDT and over $800 million in USDC. Binance also pledged to cover losses via its SAFU fund and corporate reserves.
