Regarding the attack details, Teng stated that the incident was not carried out by a single individual and involved sophisticated techniques. Initial investigations pointed to a compromised laptop, with subsequent inquiries revealing additional points of entry. The attackers deployed a self-destruct mechanism to eliminate tools and traces during the attack, complicating tracking efforts. They also exploited the known EIP-7702 protocol to secure on-chain execution authorization for a hot wallet, bypassing Binance's standard approval controls. Consequently, Binance suspended withdrawal services to investigate, rebuild, and thoroughly retest its entire infrastructure.
Odaily reports: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted that HYPE's spot trading volume on Binance yesterday hit an all-time high of $16.2 billion, far exceeding the platform's monthly average daily trading volume of approximately $3.6 billion. Driven by this, HYPE's price rose from $81 to $97, a single-day gain of about 24%. The surge in trading volume is related to the announcement of a partnership between TradeXYZ and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The two parties plan to launch a 24/7 perpetual futures market in the United States built on Hyperliquid's technical infrastructure, covering equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies, subject to regulatory approval.Under the arrangement, ICE will operate the regulated market, while TradeXYZ will handle market design and implementation. The news was subsequently shared by Stanley Druckenmiller in his first-ever post on X. Darkfost noted that the news was quickly priced in by the market, but it was not entirely without warning—Trump had previously stated that Mike Selig, chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), is working to bring Hyperliquid into the U.S. market in a compliant and legal manner.
According to a post by the Newton Foundation (@NewtonFndn), the attacker involved in the recent Binance breach appears to have made an operational error, directly transferring approximately 8 million NEWT tokens, along with 17 other tokens (ANIME, ANKR, ARPA, BARD, CELR, DENT, DOLO, FTT, GLM, HIGH, HOT, KNC, LQTY, RARE, RESOLV, SIGN, WOO) to the NEWT token contract address (0xd0ec028a3d21533fdd200838f39c85b03679285d). Valued at current prices, the total amounts to approximately $3.5 million. The foundation stated that the NEWT token contract itself was not compromised. Featuring an immutable design with no owner or administrator, all management rights were relinquished on-chain in 2025, and upgrade functionality has been permanently disabled. As a result, no one, including the foundation, can retrieve these tokens.
Odaily reports: Trust Wallet stated that although the recent attacks on Polymarket and Binance did not affect Trust Wallet itself, the team conducted a comprehensive review of security defense measures this morning, including improving standard operating procedures (SOPs) and formulating a code hardening plan to address the attack risks brought by the development of AI technology. Trust Wallet said it will take every security incident in the industry seriously and learn from them. Specific measures will not be disclosed for now, but related reports may be published in the future, and the team plans to collaborate with top crypto security firms and other wallets. The team emphasized that most security hardening efforts will not be directly visible in the user experience, but are crucial for self-custodial wallets, and that security should be the top priority for all market participants at present.
According to Odaily, the Newton Foundation stated that the attacker in the Binance hacking incident appears to have made an operational error today by transferring approximately 8 million NEWT and 17 other tokens directly to the NEWT token contract address. The total value of the involved assets is approximately $3.5 million at current prices.The Newton Foundation stated that the NEWT token contract itself was not compromised. Because the contract uses an immutable design, all admin permissions were renounced in 2025, and upgrade functionality was permanently disabled, no one (including the Foundation) can retrieve the tokens mistakenly transferred to the contract. These assets are now permanently locked, and the attacker can no longer control or sell them. The Foundation has shared the investigation results with Binance and will continue to provide assistance.
