Hackers Moved $6.3 Billion Binance Theft Across 10,000 Wallets
Hackers behind the $6.3 billion Binance cryptocurrency breach on October 29, 2026, dispersed stolen assets across more than 10,000 digital wallets to evade international asset freezes. Financial institutions, exchange operators, and digital asset traders face heightened security scrutiny as blockchain investigators map out how cross-chain platforms and privacy protocols facilitated the transfer of funds across nine blockchain networks.
THORChain and Wasabi Wallet Processed Tens of Millions in Stolen Assets
Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis confirmed that more than $46 million in stolen cryptocurrency passed through decentralized protocol THORChain within the first 72 hours following the exploit, generating over $200,000 in fee revenue for service operators. Nearly $4 million was routed through Bitcoin privacy service Wasabi Wallet, while a separate investigation by blockchain intelligence firm Bitquery traced approximately $333 million directed toward cash-out channels during the first week after the breach, with $208 million moving within the initial two and a half days despite FBI requests urging platform node operators to block transactions.
The findings follow Binance’s initial intervention freezing $3 billion in assets immediately after the security breach occurred.
