Post claims FBI asked node operators and bridges to block funds tied to Binance hack addresses
A r/CryptoCurrency post claims that on October 29, 2026 hackers drained $6.3 billion from Binance in 20 minutes, and that two days later the FBI published a list of addresses and asked RPC node operators, THORNode operators, DeFi services and cross-chain bridges to block funds "derived from" them. The post frames this as an attempt to build a blacklist around Bitcoin, which it says has no blacklist at the protocol level. No confirmation or dispute from other sources is included.
