Binance net outflows surge to $5.8B as withdrawals resume after record hack
The exchange says withdrawals surged after some services resumed but have since slowed, with the outflows representing a fraction of its roughly $171 billion in customer assets.
Binance's net outflows have surged to $5.8 billion following the resumption of withdrawals after a record $6.3 billion hack, according to data from DefiLlama. The exchange began restoring withdrawals at 6:00 UTC on Sunday, with withdrawals initially surging but later stabilizing, representing a small fraction of its approximately $171 billion in customer assets.
The outflows mainly consist of USDt (USDT), USDC (USDC), and Bitcoin (BTC), with Binance processing $4.6 billion in withdrawals against $1 billion in deposits within a 24-hour period.
