๐ŸŽฌ MINI-DOCUMENTARY: The Hack, the Panic, and the Comeback $6.3B stolen in about 20 minutes. 11,700 hostile posts in 78 hours. $0 lost by users. +$2.84B flowed back in, in 24 hours. How @heyibinance and @cz_binance turned the biggest hack in crypto history into proof of strength ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ‘† (2 min) ๐Ÿ’ธ $6.3B stolen โฑ๏ธ Under 60 hours to reopen withdrawals ๐Ÿ’ฐ Covered from Binance's OWN funds ๐Ÿ‘ฅ 0 users lost a cent ๐Ÿ“ˆ Deposits beat withdrawals again within 2 days Full story & data ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿšจ WHAT HAPPENED Oct 29. North Korea's TraderTraitor group (per the FBI) posed as recruiters for weeks, hooked a Binance engineer with a fake job interview, and got malware onto a work laptop. Per @trmlabs , most of the $6.3B was drained in about 20 minutes. 4x the previous record (Bybit, $1.5B). ๐Ÿ’› YI HE: HEAVILY PREGNANT, STILL ON THE FRONT LINE 12:30 AM, Abu Dhabi. She had logged off and was in bed when the posts on X started. She logged straight back in. Within minutes, a war room of 100+ people. CZ: "this pregnant lady pulled an all nighter, along side hundreds of Binancians." To a worried user: "My coin is on Binance too." ๐Ÿ”ฅ CZ: STILL THE SAME HUMBLE GUY Not CEO anymore. Didn't have to show up. He did anyway: interviews, updates, thanking the FBI and even competitors, and calling for an industry-wide security alliance. At any crypto event he stops for photos with everyone. Billionaire founder who still acts like one of us. ๐Ÿ’ฐ "THEY CAN'T PAY $6.3B." THEY DID. @binance publicly apologized, then paid from its OWN funds: โœ… SAFU fund โœ… Futures insurance fund โœ… Bitcoin reserve โœ… Treasury ๐Ÿ“… Day 2: 90% replaced ๐Ÿ“… Day 3: 95%, the last 5% = smaller, less liquid tokens still being bought โœ… Oct 31 proof of reserves: 1:1, verifiable by any user โšก TIMELINE Oct 29: hack, withdrawals paused for security Oct 30: initial findings published Oct 31: 90% replaced Nov 1: withdrawals reopen (under 60 hours) Nov 2: fiat withdrawals back (USD, AED and more) ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ THE US MOVED FAST ๐Ÿ”น President Trump addressed it within a day, saying the administration was looking into it ๐Ÿ”น FBI named TraderTraitor within 2 days ๐Ÿ”น FBI, Secret Service and IRS urged firms to block the hackers' wallets ๐Ÿค EVEN RIVALS HELPED About $3B frozen: @tether $1.57B USDT ยท @circle $800M+ USDC ๐Ÿ“Š THE ON-CHAIN DATA ๐Ÿ”ด Nov 1: $3.64B net out, just 2.1% of $171B in assets ๐Ÿ”ด Only 6โ€“10% went to rival exchanges (CZ, citing public reports).

Good evening Red everywhere. Nasdaq down over 3%, S&P around 2% as chip and AI stocks get dumped after the Dem sweep. $BTC swinging between $76.8K and $80.9K in the last 24h. Lot of volatility, size down and stay safe. More soon. #Midterms26 #Elections2026

Good afternoon Full catch-up on the midterms. Networks have the Dems taking both the House and the Senate. Full control of Congress flips. Senate flips called so far: Ohio for Brown, Texas for Talarico (Paxton conceded), Iowa for Turek, Kansas for Hamilton, South Carolina for Andrews and North Carolina for Cooper. Dems also held Michigan (AP called it for El-Sayed this morning), Georgia, New Hampshire and Minnesota. Still open: Maine, where Collins conceded and Jackson is up about 6 with 72% counted but no official call yet. Nebraska, where independent Osborn is ahead early. Alaska, no real numbers yet and it could take a while. House is projected for the Dems, a lot of seats still being counted. $BTC at $78.5K now, bounced hard from the $75.7K low in the last 24h while stock futures were shaky. Very volatile market right now, keep your size small and don't chase. I'll keep you posted as the last races come in. #Midterms26 #Elections2026

I'm honestly disgusted with how this world works now. People don't stand by you anymore. They wait. They sit quietly and wait for your worst day. And the second it comes, they turn you into a joke. Everything you gave, everything you built, everything you sacrificed... gone. Forgotten. Like it never happened. Look at what crypto has turned into. Meme coins used to be fun. Dogs, jokes, people laughing together at 3am. Now? Someone dies, and there's a meme coin about it before their family even finishes crying. Someone gets hacked, meme coin. Someone loses everything, meme coin. A little squirrel named Peanut got taken from the man who loved him and put down, and people turned that heartbreak into a pump. And @cz_binance knows this better than anyone. Just a few months ago, a fake story spread that he went missing in a surfing accident in Dubai. Swept out to sea. Rescue teams searching. None of it was true. But within hours, people were already launching meme coins called RIPCZ. Not one of them stopped to ask if he was okay. Not one of them thought about his kids. They just saw a chance to make money off a man's "death." We're making money off other people's pain. And nobody even stops to feel anything anymore. And right now, it's happening to @cz_binance again. Binance just got hit by North Korean hackers. Billions stolen. Not CZ's mistake. He doesn't even run Binance anymore. A criminal attack on the biggest exchange in the world. And what did CZ do? He didn't hide. He didn't run. He came out the same night and told everyone: your funds are safe. Every user will be covered. Binance will pay from its own pocket. And what did people do? Memes. Jokes. "CZ the scammer." Laughing emojis. Even @elonmusk . The same Elon that CZ stood beside when he bought Twitter. When the whole world was laughing at that deal, CZ put $500 million in and backed him. And today, when CZ is going through one of the hardest nights of his life, Elon is laughing at him. That's the part that breaks my heart. Because let me tell you who this man is. He was a kid from China whose family moved to Canada with almost nothing. At 14 he was flipping burgers at McDonald's. At night he worked shifts at a gas station. Not for fun. To help his family pay the bills. In 2014 he sold his apartment in Shanghai. His home. Put almost everything he had into Bitcoin at $600. Then it crashed to $200. Everyone thought he was crazy. He had to go back to a normal job. And he still didn't sell. He believed. Then he built Binance from nothing into the biggest exchange on the planet. And when he made it, he didn't forget people. When war hit Ukraine, Binance gave $10 million in humanitarian aid. When the earthquake destroyed Turkey and Syria, Binance sent aid packages and BNB straight to people in the affected areas. When the earthquake hit Morocco, $3 million in BNB went directly to victims. When the floods hit Libya, they helped there too. And today he's building @GiggleAcademy , free education for kids in poor countries who can't afford school. This is a man who could live anywhere and do nothing. And he still chooses to give. And the moment something bad happens, people who never built anything, never gave anything, never risked anything... suddenly become judges. That's what hurts the most. Not the criticism. The forgetting. You can spend years building. Losing sleep. Spending your own money. Carrying everyone on your back. And the moment you fall, the same people you carried are the first ones laughing. Instead of standing together when things get hard, we choose to mock each other. That's who we've become. It's not okay. And I refuse to accept it. @cz_binance we see you. We're with you. ๐Ÿ™

My honest take on PvP vs PvE, and why I think more people should be playing PvE PvP is not a game for retail. You buy because of one tweet or one call in a group chat, and you have no idea whoโ€™s really behind the token. Which group launched it? Which dev? Were the โ€œearly buyersโ€ just snipers? Was the KOL paid to shill? You donโ€™t know, and by the time you find out, your bag is already down 80%. Now look at the structure. In most PvP tokens, only around 20% of the value sits in the LP, while 80% is in holdersโ€™ hands. That means a few big wallets can sell into a tiny pool and crash the chart in one candle. Slippage eats you alive, stop losses get skipped, and you canโ€™t cut losses in time. Youโ€™re not trading the market, youโ€™re waiting to become someoneโ€™s exit liquidity. PvE is different. Most PvE projects have real, deep LP behind them. That depth is your protection. Prices move with the market, not with one walletโ€™s mood. You can enter and exit without destroying the chart, set a stop that actually works, size your position properly, and plan your trade before you take it. Yes, every token carries risk. But PvE gives you risk you can see and manage. PvP gives you risk hidden in other peopleโ€™s wallets. And hereโ€™s the bigger problem: PvP isnโ€™t just hurting retail, itโ€™s draining the whole market. Every PvP cycle extracts liquidity and it never comes back. Think about 2021, when the market was mostly PvE. Tokens could reach serious market caps because liquidity stayed in the system and kept rotating. Now, since PvP took over, $200M or $300M is considered a โ€œbigโ€ market cap. And most of those pumps arenโ€™t even real demand, theyโ€™re self-pumped charts with empty hands behind them. So stop feeding PvP. Every dollar you throw into it is liquidity pulled out of the market for good. If youโ€™re retail, donโ€™t feel like youโ€™re missing out. Build your skills in PvE, protect your capital, grow steadily. Bring the liquidity back, and the whole market wins. Play smart. Play PvE. ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Words are cheap. Money isn't. @cz_binance @heyibinance I followed the money for 12 months after 10/10. Here's where it went ๐Ÿ‘‡ Not opinions. Proof of Reserves and on-chain burn data. โ‚ฟ USERS PUT 62,792 MORE BTC ON BINANCE Nov 1, 2025: 593,852 BTC Aug 1, 2026: 656,644 BTC +10.6% in 9 months. At the moment trust was supposedly broken, users sent more Bitcoin in. ๐Ÿ”ฅ $728M PAID BACK. $4.4B BURNED. After 10/10, $728M went back to affected users. In the same year, 4 quarterly burns destroyed 6.0M BNB, worth $4.4B at burn time. That's 6x more value burned than paid out. ๐Ÿ“‰ 4.3% OF ALL BNB IS GONE Supply: 139.2M โ†’ 133.2M BNB in four burns. Every holder now owns a bigger slice of a smaller pie. โฑ๏ธ WHAT ONE DAY ON BINANCE LOOKS LIKE IN 2026 $63B traded 105,000 new users 73 new users every minute ๐Ÿงฎ HOW I GOT THESE NUMBERS Binance Proof of Reserves (Nov 2025, Aug 2026), BNB burn reports #33 to #36, Binance's H1 2026 milestone report.

If the FUD was true, why did Binance get BIGGER? ๐Ÿ”ถ @cz_binance @heyibinance , one year after 10/10, I checked the numbers. You'll want to see this ๐Ÿ‘‡ Oct 10, 2025 was the biggest liquidation day in crypto history. A US-China tariff shock wiped out about $19B in leveraged positions in 24 hours and liquidated 1.6M accounts. Then came the FUD: โŒ "Binance caused the crash" โŒ "Binance's USDe promo broke the market" โŒ Petitions and rival CEOs pointing fingers โŒ "Users will leave Binance" If the FUD were right, users would have left and the numbers would have shrunk. Here's what the data says ๐Ÿ‘‡ ๐Ÿ‘ฅ USERS: 10/10 2025 vs NOW Binance - Oct 2025: under 300M users - Dec 2025: crossed 300M, just 2 months after the crash - Jul 2026: 323M+ users, about 43% of all crypto holders BNB Chain - Oct 2025: 460M+ user base - Apr 2026: 800M wallets, a new all-time high The "users will leave" FUD aged badly. ๐Ÿ“‰ THEN: OCTOBER 2025 - $19B liquidated, 1.6M accounts hit - BNB briefly dropped below $1,000 - Binance data: 75% of liquidations happened before USDe lost its peg - Binance paid $283M in compensation + launched the $400M Together Initiative - BNB Chain added a $45M recovery airdrop - Over $700M went back to users - 3 days later, BNB hit a new all-time high of ~$1,370 ๐Ÿ“ˆ NOW: OCTOBER 2026 ๐Ÿ’น Binance - +7% user growth in H1 2026 - +9% institutional users in H1 2026 - $156.4T all-time trading volume - $11.4T added in the first half of 2026 alone - $80B+ monthly TradFi volume since March 2026 - Stock trading launched, $1B in assets within 30 days โ›“๏ธ BNB Chain - Block time cut from 750ms to 450ms - Gas fee cut to 0.05 Gwei - Zero downtime through 2025 - #2 RWA network after Ethereum - Grayscale filed for a spot BNB ETF ๐Ÿค WHY THE NUMBERS GREW 1๏ธโƒฃ Users were protected, not abandoned Over $700M went back to affected users. 2๏ธโƒฃ Leadership showed up Binance published its data and answered critics in public. @cz_binance said "Talk is cheap," then backed it with money. 3๏ธโƒฃ Builders kept building While people argued on X, BNB Chain shipped upgrades, cut fees and brought in institutions. 4๏ธโƒฃ People vote with their feet FUD is loud. Users are quiet. They stayed, and millions more joined. ๐Ÿ’ก THE HONEST PART BNB is around $750 today, below last year's peak. Markets move in cycles. But price is a mood. Users, volume and tech are the foundation, and the foundation grew. FUD tried to shrink Binance. Instead, it got bigger. We didn't argue with the FUD. We built bigger than it. ๐Ÿ”ถ @binance @BNBCHAIN @cz_binance @heyibinance #Binance #BNB #BNBChain #BuiltBiggerThanFUD
