Bitcoin hit an intraday low of $78,297 on Binance spot on Oct. 29 and sat near $79,126 at press time, as large transfers left Binance-labeled wallets.<\/p>\n

Binance shared on X that the exchange is “aware of reports of a potential security issue and are actively investigating.”<\/p>\n

It added:<\/p>\n

“Our security teams are reviewing all relevant information with urgency, and we will provide updates through official Binance channels as soon as we have verified information.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Former CEO Changpeng Zhao<\/a> went further on X, arguing that “it does look like a hack on Binance.”<\/p>\n

Tether<\/a> CEO Paolo Ardoino<\/a> confirmed that the firm froze roughly $1.57 billion<\/a> related to the potential hack, while Circle<\/a> froze about $823 million.<\/p>\n

What the chain shows<\/h2>\n

Whale Alert recorded 28,005 ETH, about $64.9 million, leaving a Binance<\/a>-labeled wallet at 20:24:47 UTC, and 780 million USDC leaving another at 20:41:23 UTC. Both went to the same new address.<\/p>\n

At 20:38:47 UTC, the receiving address forwarded 195,460 ETH, about $449 million, to a second address.<\/p>\n

On-chain watchers circulated a total close to $2.8 billion across five chains, and the full figure remains unreconciled.<\/p>\n\n

Bitcoin's $80,000 buy wall hides a liquidation trap that could send prices toward $78,000<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/i>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

Analyst Spreek first flagged the activity, noting that the contract call behind it was funded by an address linked to Tornado Cash.<\/p>\n

DefiLlama co-founder 0xngmi argued that Binance has $144 billion in assets under custody and that the amount effectively stolen would represent less than 1% of that value, so the exchange could \u201ccover it from balance sheet easily<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin selloff began earlier<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin was already weak before the first highlighted transfer, having traded below $80,000<\/a> earlier on Oct. 29 as a technology-stock selloff and a hawkish reading of the Fed's Oct. 28 hold weighed on risk assets.<\/p>\n

Binance spot data shows Bitcoin sliding from about $80,849 to $80,438 between 20:00 and 20:15 UTC. The 20:30 to 20:45 candle closed at $78,884.52, down about 1.9%, and the low came in the next quarter hour.<\/p>\n

CoinGlass<\/a> reported nearly $1 billion in liquidations in the past 24 hours, and roughly $532 million in liquidations in the past hour. Bitcoin liquidations totaled $289 million, and Ethereum's totaled $236 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
