Nov 2: FBI Attributes Binance Theft to TraderTraitor as Attackers Multiply Wallets
Binance Restarts Withdrawals With Bitcoin, Expanding to 15 Networks · Bitcoin ETF Redemptions Erase a Four-Day Inflow Streak · Binance Records $5.8B in Net Outflows After Access Returns
Market Snapshot
Bitcoin traded at $78,135.48, up 0.573% over 24 hours, while Ethereum rose 0.46% to $2,272.81, according to the supplied Binance market snapshot. Solana moved in the opposite direction, falling 1.734% to $94.10. These modest moves provide a different picture from the withdrawal and investment-flow figures following the Binance theft.
The notable institutional number is $643.33 million: net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs on October 30, the first full trading session after the attack. That historical flow should be distinguished from the current price snapshot. Together, they show that positive daily prices can coexist with substantial recent redemptions; neither measure alone establishes whether confidence has recovered. Source: Decrypt.

Key Takeaways
- Recovery has separate milestones: the approximately $2.7 billion reportedly frozen, Binance's replenishment claims and restored withdrawal access describe different outcomes.
- Market confidence requires multiple measures: positive daily Bitcoin and Ethereum prices coexist with recent ETF redemptions and exchange outflows.
- Scale needs context: $5.8 billion in net outflows is substantial, while the reported $171 billion customer-asset base provides a denominator, not proof of liquidity.
- Automation raises coordination questions: expanding attacker wallet networks challenge monitoring, while DeepSeek's prototype addresses the separate problem of supervising concurrent AI tasks.
What to Watch
Watch for updated FBI wallet identifiers, changes in the reported frozen-fund total, and Binance disclosures clarifying replenishment and withdrawal availability. Subsequent ETF sessions and exchange-flow readings will help assess whether redemptions persist after the initial response. For DeepSeek, look for evaluation results and implementation updates that test whether the proposed architecture actually reduces human supervision.
