#INTC: whales closed $17.86M of long positions on Binance Futures about 5 hours before the hack.
Four exits in a row at $92.9 avg, the biggest block of the day. Open interest dropped on the same candles, from $101M to $83M. Then the exploit hit and price fell 25% to $69.
The exit came first. That is the whole story.

Binance confirmed a $6.3B hack. Deposits and withdrawals are paused.
An engineer’s laptop was compromised and used to push unauthorized withdrawals from hot wallets. Around $3B has been frozen on-chain, and Binance says it will cover all losses from SAFU and company funds.
The market reacted immediately: BTC dropped below $77K, and $1.36B in positions were liquidated in the hours after the disclosure.
Withdrawals stay closed until the security checks are done. No timeline yet.
