Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, lost an estimated $6.3 billion in a hacking attack, with U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs attributing the raid to North Korean hackers, according to KBS World and Korea Times reports.

Bitcoin fell below $80,000 amid market anxiety over the breach, Business Korea reports.
