Binance Investigates Major Hack: Up to $5.8 Billion Potentially Stolen On October 29, 2026, Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, reported a potential security breach involving significant outflows from its hot wallets, with estimates suggesting up to $5.8 billion may have been drained. The breach was first flagged by on-chain analysts, revealing that large amounts of Ethereum and stablecoins were transferred to a newly created wallet funded through Tornado Cash, a cryptocurrency mixer. Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao indicated that the incident appears to be a hack and stated that user funds are expected to be fully covered. In response, Tether and Circle froze approximately $2.4 billion in assets linked to the incident. As of October 30, Binance confirmed that $2.54 billion in assets had been frozen while investigations continue. The hack, if confirmed, would represent the largest theft in cryptocurrency history, surpassing the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in 2025. 45 sources 70
