Attention! The Binance hacker is now dumping $PEPE, $UNI, $LINK, and other tokens on-chain for $ETH. Please note: The hacker still holds large amounts of the following altcoins, which could face heavy selling pressure: 217.497M $ENA ($39.51M) 7.579T $PEPE ($34.41M) 2.575M

Binance founder CZ responded to DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi’s analysis on Binance’s asset losses, stating that the total loss could be slightly over $10 billion, but Binance will cover the related losses. Earlier, 0xngmi published a post noting that Binance’s custodial assets stood at roughly $1.44 trillion, estimating a final loss of around $10 billion after the freezing of USDT and USDC, which accounts for just 0.69% of its total custodial assets — a loss Binance can easily absorb via its balance sheet.

On-chain analyst Andy revealed in a post that the hacker behind the suspected Binance breach is converting UNI tokens to ETH via Uniswap. Of the 7.02 million UNI previously transferred to the same wallet, 3.86 million have been sold across 23 transactions. The wallet currently holds 10,002 ETH, valued at approximately $22.8 million, with 3.16 million UNI still awaiting sale.

Binance co-founder He Yi posted that the crypto exchange has suspended withdrawals to ensure safety, until the relevant environment is confirmed secure. She thanked users for their understanding and support, and emphasized the importance of user fund safety, referencing Binance’s SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users).

Binance has been hacked for over $5.8B! Of that, 1.58B $USDT and 823M $USDC (a total of $2.41B) have been frozen.

According to market reports and on-chain data, Binance’s hot wallets have again outflowed 200 million USDT, which Tether promptly froze. Tether has previously frozen over $1.567 billion in USDT. Earlier today, total assets outflow from Binance-linked wallets reached approximately $5.643 billion, broken down by blockchain networks: Ethereum accounted for ~$3.528 billion, Bitcoin ~$1.449 billion, Tron ~$628 million, and Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base combined for ~$38 million. In response to the incident, Binance co-founder He Yi stated that Binance has noticed reports of potential security issues and is actively investigating. The security team is urgently reviewing all relevant information and will release updates via Binance’s official channels after verification. He Yi also reminded users to beware of scams, warning against trusting unofficial links, messages, or requests for account information, and emphasized user funds security (SAFU).
