What is new
President Trump publicly doubted North Korea's involvement. The FBI published approximately 500 Ethereum addresses linked to TraderTraitor. Tether, Circle, and other companies froze approximately $2.7 billion of stolen assets. Cryptocurrency markets fell sharply. Bitcoin hit a six-week low of $76,368. Binance co-CEO Richard Teng described the breach as a 'complex attack' involving manipulation of a transaction approval system. Withdrawals are now expected to resume Nov. 2, not Nov. 1 as previously reported. British blockchain analysts Elliptic described the incident as 'almost certainly the single-largest-known theft of any kind.' TRM Labs policy director Ari Redbord warned hackers may fragment assets to evade detection.
