Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, suffered what analysts call the biggest crypto heist ever, with hackers stealing about $6.3 billion (estimates range up to $6.36 billion) on Oct. 30, 2026. U.S. blockchain analysis firm TRM Labs says North Korean hackers were behind the attack, reporting that "an attacker moved approximately $6.36 billion out of Binance wall" (Korea Times, Yonhap, KBS World). The theft rattled markets, with Bitcoin sinking below $80,000 into the $77,000 range amid the allegations (Business Korea). Binance has frozen assets and begun an initial investigation, while the attack has prompted investors to rethink risks and spotlighted how exchanges insure digital assets against cyberattacks (Korea Times, Business Korea). Korean outlets report a massive ripple effect spreading across global and domestic exchanges, with Business Korea noting the suspected North Korean link is fueling concern.
