The cryptocurrency market is facing a tense moment following a billion-dollar cyberattack involving Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. According to information released by Reuters this Sunday (1), the platform recorded a significant outflow of funds after resuming withdrawals for 15 digital assets. The company said it managed to replace or cover approximately 95% of the stolen assets using its own funds, reserves, and the user protection fund (SAFU). Data from the DeFiLlama platform indicated more than US$ 3.5 billion in net outflows from Binance on Sunday.
