Binance reports additional breach points in $6.3B hack; withdrawals paused
Binance CEO Richard Teng said the $6.3 billion attack was not a single 'one-click' action, and Binance reported additional points of breach. Binance confirmed about $3 billion in affected assets has been frozen onchain while withdrawals remain paused, with a 45-hour restart estimate. Binance pledged to cover all losses from its SAFU reserve and company funds, while CZ said the hack leaves a $2 billion gap and pointed to SpaceX shares without detailing how they would finance reimbursements.
