binance just paid out a $6.3b hack from its own pocket. most exchanges couldn't. if yours got hacked tomorrow, do you know if it has a reserve fund to cover you?
Hacked thursday, withdrawals back on 15 networks by sunday, users covered from binance's own funds. say what you want, they showed up. would your exchange do the same?
Respect @binance
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.
Wednesday: google. thursday night: binance. friday open: about $850b gone from us stocks, intel down ~28%. halloween came early this year. who's it coming for next?
first try vs final 🐙
saw the turtle island thing going around and wanted to do my own version but with an octopus in a storm
the first one came out as a purple box with 4 sticks for legs lol. like it technically is an octopus i guess
kept pushing it and the final one is kind of crazy. theres lightning that actually flashes the screen, rain, a lighthouse with the light spinning through the clouds, little glowing jellyfish floating around and a waterfall pouring off its head
the tentacles move too which i didnt expect to look this good
all of it is one html file. no blender no models nothing, made with claude opus 5.5
binance just put a verified number on it: $2.54b frozen so far, not the $1.8b going around, and it may still go up. the one number still missing is how much was taken in total
Arkham's "binance hacker" wallets now show about $5.6b. if that holds, it's the biggest exchange hack ever, bigger than bybit's $1.5b. binance still hasn't confirmed it, and tether and circle say they froze ~$2.4b. how much of your stack is sitting on an exchange right now?
the "binance hacker" wallet shows $2.2b, but about $2b of that is usdt and usdc that tether and circle say they froze. what can still move is the alts, and pepe, link and uni are being swapped into eth on-chain
billions left binance hot wallets in 17 minutes tonight. binance says it's investigating and user funds are safe, cz says it "does look like a hack." tether and circle froze about $1.8b. is your withdrawal whitelist on?
This morning google dumped after earnings. tonight billions left binance wallets and bnb followed. same candle, different ticker. which one is this?
