Las retiradas de clientes de Binance ascienden ya a 4.460 millones

Since Sunday, Binance users have withdrawn a total of $5 billion (€4.46 billion) in cash, according to Financial Times. On Friday morning, the company suffered the largest crypto hack in history, losing $6.3 billion. As a result, Binance froze funds and suspended withdrawals. The company announced a gradual, phased reactivation of services on Sunday.

By yesterday morning, users had withdrawn $4.9 billion, representing nearly 3% of the assets on the platform as of the day before the attack, according to data from DefiLlama. Binance explained that its phased approach was designed to "carefully restore each pair of networks and assets, completing stability and security checks before reopening access."

Initially, the platform allowed users holding Ethereum, USDT, and USDC on the Ethereum blockchain, as well as some assets on the BNB Smart Chain, to withdraw their funds. Later, it announced that holders of other tokens, such as Dogecoin and Solana on their respective blockchains, could also withdraw their assets. As of Sunday morning, Binance had covered about 95% of the affected amount, funded by its own earnings and an emergency fund.

The remaining 5% consists of tokens outside the top ten cryptocurrencies, which the company said have lower liquidity in the market and require more time to acquire in the necessary volume. On Saturday, the FBI blamed TraderTraitor, a hacker group allegedly linked to North Korea, for the historic crypto robbery.
