Approximately $891 million of the $6.34 billion stolen in the October 29, 2026 Binance hack may have been moved or laundered through decentralized cross-chain protocols such as THORChain and Chainflip. Investigations attribute the cyberattack to the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor, with ongoing efforts to trace and freeze the remaining assets.
