Binance's co-CEO Richard Teng revealed that $2.85 billion linked to the October 29 hack was frozen or intercepted through collaboration with law enforcement and blockchain intelligence firms. Binance has replenished 98% of affected tokens and resumed withdrawals, describing the attack as highly sophisticated and lasting months.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face faster law enforcement-backed asset recovery in crypto than in traditional finance after hacks. This means you can now position your firm as a safer alternative with stronger fund protection post-attack.
