According to BlockBeats on November 2, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan commented on Binance’s approximately $6.3 billion security breach.
Hougan stated that if such an incident had occurred a decade ago, it could have brought down Binance and even Bitcoin itself.
But times have changed.
He believes the incident will not alter Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. The fact that Binance and its partners have already frozen approximately half of the stolen assets also reflects the growing maturity and resilience of the crypto industry.

We are here.
币安一直都在。💛
Binance began restoring withdrawals in phases at 06:00 UTC on November 1, 2026. By 12:36 UTC, withdrawals had resumed for all 15 networks and assets in the initial phase. After an initial spike, withdrawal volumes have declined and are stabilising as expected, while deposit volumes have remained substantial.
Between 06:00 and 15:30 UTC on November 1, we processed $4.649 billion in withdrawals and $1.01 billion in deposits, resulting in a net outflow of approximately $3.64 billion. This represents 2.1% of our $171 billion in total assets under management (AUM), based on the latest available Proof of Reserves (PoR) data as of October 28, 2026. A new PoR snapshot was taken at 00:00 UTC on October 31, and zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) computation began. The updated report is expected to be available on our PoR website tomorrow.
Our team continues testing rigorously the remaining networks and assets. We know how important safe and reliable access to your funds is and will share details of the next phase as soon as we can. Rest assured that market conditions are stable.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.
别人遭遇黑客攻击,你却第一时间把它当成竞争对手的营销机会,这就是你的格局?
今天你可以拿 @Binance 的安全事件为 Hyperliquid 喝彩,但别忘了,没有任何平台敢保证自己永远不会遭遇攻击。
如果有一天同样的事情发生在 Hyperliquid 身上,希望你还能保持今天的态度。
行业需要的是共同提高安全标准,而不是踩着别人的危机给自己造势。真正的格局,是尊重风险,而不是幸灾乐祸。
Binance hack could be another catalyst pushing more attention toward Hyperliquid
Whenever trust in CEXs gets shaken, traders start looking for alternatives. DEXs could benefit from that shift, but not every DEX is positioned to capture it.
The real winners will be platforms with proven security, deep liquidity, and strong user trust.
And @HyperliquidX is one of the strongest names in that category.
CEX uncertainty could be DEX opportunity. Hyperliquid is right in the spotlight.

Elon, have a lot of respect for you, but bad time to troll. Please stop.
Our SPCX shares (from our $500m investment in your Twitter takeover) are worth more than a billion.
Would appreciate if you show a little support. Thanks!
We stand with @binance. 🤝
A $6.3B security breach is a serious test. Binance’s decision to protect users and absorb the losses deserves our support.
We believe in the team’s ability to deliver, with transparency and accountability.
Stay strong, @cz_binance @heyibinance

Binance’s SAFU fund and Binance’s holdings include a large amount of assets such as BTC and ETH. We are currently buying, through OTC and on-exchange, all the stolen altcoins in fully matching amounts. We will update everyone again once the purchases are complete.
币安的SAFU基金和币安持有币种包括大量的BTC和ETH等资产,目前正在通过OTC和场内买入完全匹配被盗的所有山寨币来完成POR,购入完成后再次为大家同步信息。
Binance has begun recovering affected assets for users and continues to work with law enforcement, issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace, freeze and recover additional funds.
The company has already publicly committed to cover losses through company funds in the prior announcement.
Binance has already reserved over $6.34B of company funds to cover this incident. $5B of these funds are already held in the exact token assets that were impacted. We are completing the purchase of the remaining amount by buying token assets through market channels and OTC channels. We are doing this to match the format of the remaining token assets and address any asset shortfalls. This step can take longer because some tokens may have low liquidity and OTC settlement also takes time. We will share more progress as soon as we can.
These figures do not include frozen or protected assets, which remain subject to ongoing recovery and verification. Currently, $3bn has been frozen, with thanks to our industry partners. We are working with partners and law enforcement to recover the frozen assets.We will continue to use company resources to cover confirmed shortfall and will provide further verified updates as recovery efforts progress. Ultimately, all user funds will be verified publicly through our Proof of Reserves.
We will weather this storm. Thank you for the support.

后续进展,我们会第一时间通过官方渠道通知大家🙏🏻
再次感谢大家的信任💛🖤
关于本次安全事件,大家对技术细节有不少疑问,就目前掌握的信息,这里统一说明几点:
1️⃣ 这不是攻破一台电脑就把钱转走了
这并不是一次通过单一设备就能完成的事件,一个员工电脑被黑是这个攻击的起点。针对加密机构的攻击通常具有较强的针对性,攻击者往往尝试利用了复杂的手段实施渗透。
我们已经发现与事件相关的重要线索,并已第一时间采取措施控制风险,相关调查和溯源工作仍在持续进行中。现阶段,平台核心风控和应急机制已经启动,用户资产安全是我们的首要保障。
2️⃣ 关于"工程师是不是权限过大"
这并不是攻击者直接利用某位工程师权限即可完成资金转移的事件,也不是单一人员可以“一键操作”造成的结果。相关异常涉及更复杂的攻击过程。需要强调的是,现阶段调查并未将责任归因于任何个人,公司将承担相应责任,并持续推进后续处置与安全升级工作。
3️⃣ 目前能确认的事实
没有发现钱包私钥泄露的证据。用户资金安全,本次事件造成的全部被盗损失由 SAFU 基金和公司资金全额承担,不需要用户承担。目前链上已冻结约 30 亿美元受影响资产,我们正配合执法部门和区块链情报机构追查,链上资金流向公开可查。
4️⃣ 充提状态
充值全程正常开放,未受影响。提现作为预防性措施已暂停,预计在48小时内开放,具体时间以官方公告为准。我们理解这对大家造成了不便,会尽快同步进展。
5️⃣ 后续
我们会在确保调查准确性的前提下,持续同步进展,并在事件处置和复盘完成后公布详细情况和进一步的安全加固措施。该暴露的问题我们会正视,不会含糊。
感谢大家的耐心和监督。

**Service Update**
Deposits remain unaffected and continue to operate as normal.
Our team is currently working on enhancements to the withdrawal service and related address controls. We expect to begin resume withdrawal services in the next 48 hours.
We will continue to share updates through official Binance channels as progress is made.

User funds are safe.
Binance will cover all hacking losses.
Deposits and withdrawals are temporarily suspended while our team conducts security checks, freezes funds, and works with law enforcement.
We will share a full post-mortem once the investigation is complete. Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates.

User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.
🐸 Justin Sun is making a massive $PEPE move.
Arkham links $51M in PEPE to his wallets — roughly 2.82% of supply.
11.85T tokens moved out of Poloniex in just 10 days.
The real signal? Watch whether those wallets keep accumulating or start sending PEPE back to exchanges.
Whale moves are clues, not buy signals.

🟣 A meme community getting a seat at the table.
@LaunchOnSF says $STONK is a finalist for Solana’s Meme Community Award at Breakpoint 2026.
Markets move fast. Community reputation takes longer to build.
Which Solana crew would get your vote? 👀

Fresh Ordinals are still finding their way onto Bitcoin.
@ordfellaz launched its 2,000-piece collection through @ord_net, lowered the public mint price to 0.00018 BTC, and has collectors sharing their newly minted pieces.
Not everyone expects a sellout, and that’s what makes this interesting.
In a quieter NFT market, every new mint is a test of whether collectors are still willing to show up for fresh art and new communities.
Are the Fellaz bringing some energy back to Bitcoin?

🐺 Bitcoin’s Wolf Pack is still howling.
$LOBO started as Rune #9, but @lobothewolfpup has built its identity around something bigger than a ticker: a pack that keeps showing up, sharing memes and carrying its Bitcoin roots across communities.
That’s what makes these older Rune communities interesting. The real test isn’t how loud they get on a green day, but whether people keep showing up when the charts go quiet.
Who’s still running with the Wolf Pack? 🐺🟠
Bitcoin-native tokens are finding new places to trade.
UniHexa now brings #ORDI, #DOG, #MIM and #UNCOMMON•GOODS into a shared trading environment, connecting BRC-20 and Runes markets that have long struggled with fragmented liquidity.
New listings alone won’t revive these communities. The interesting part is whether easier access can bring back active traders, tighter markets and genuine competition for liquidity.

Blast once attracted over $2B in deposits. Today marks the final day for withdrawals through its standard interface.
The network is shutting down because operating costs outgrew revenue. Funds remain withdrawable through Ethereum contracts, but the process becomes more complex.
It’s a reminder of how quickly crypto infrastructure can lose its economic footing. Attracting capital is one challenge. Building something sustainable enough to protect users long after the incentives fade is another.
