Binance to Resume Withdrawals After Recovering 95% of $6.3 Billion Stolen Funds

usnews.com —

Binance will resume withdrawals in phases after recovering 95% of the $6.3 billion in tokens stolen in the world's largest digital heist, which the FBI attributed to North Korea. The phased restart begins Sunday between 0600 and 0900 GMT, covering bitcoin, ether, BNB, Solana, XRP, dogecoin and other tokens. The remaining 5% of stolen assets are less liquid and may take longer to source. The FBI identified the North Korean state-sponsored unit TraderTraitor as responsible, noting members converted stolen assets into ethereum and expected further laundering. Pyongyang has long denied using state-linked cyber units for financial theft.
