SINGAPORE, Oct 30 (Reuters) – A security breach at Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has resulted in an estimated $6.3 billion impact, the biggest crypto heist ever.
Binance said it had worked with partners to freeze the affected assets, with about $3 billion located so far. It gave no update on the status of the remaining $3.3 billion, though Binance co-founder Yi He said the company would cover “all hacking losses”.
The crypto industry has suffered a series of thefts, prompting questions about the security of customer funds and investors to possibly rethink the risks of owning digital assets.
