Hackers drained $6.3 billion from Binance hot wallets in the largest crypto heist in history, triggering an on-chain freeze of over $2.6 billion. Here’s what happened and how to avoid the wave of fake refund scams. Breakdown of the on-chain freeze: Tether blacklisted ~$1.57B in USDT, Circle froze over $800M in USDC, Ripple locked ~$200M in RLUSD, and USD1 froze $27M. Binance says no private keys were leaked and pledged to cover 100% of losses through its SAFU fund and company reserves. Binance.US is a separate company and says it was not affected.
