Binance probes $5.9 billion hack affecting XRP, BTC and ETH tokens
AI summary
Binance is investigating a security breach after blockchain analysts flagged nearly $5.9 billion in suspicious outflows across multiple networks, reportedly affecting XRP, BTC, ETH and other tokens. A loss of this scale at the largest exchange would be among the biggest hacks in crypto history and raises immediate questions about customer funds and withdrawal safety. Traders would likely de-risk and expect sharp volatility across major tokens while Binance confirms or denies the outflows.
