According to CoinDesk, amid the Iran conflict, Binance has offered its approximately 1,000 employees in the UAE the option of temporary relocation to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok. Binance stated that its UAE operations continue normally, with some employees choosing to remain locally, and global user services remain unaffected. This measure follows regional unrest that has disrupted major cryptocurrency, business, and sports events in the UAE—including the postponement of TOKEN2049 Dubai to 2027 and the cancellation of TON Gateway due to security and travel concerns. The UAE government reported having intercepted hundreds of missiles and drones since late February. Binance is deepening its collaboration with local authorities through Abu Dhabi’s global regulatory framework, and its global operations are backed by Abu Dhabi.
Decentralized GPU cloud computing infrastructure platform Aethir confirmed that its Ethereum-related bridge contract was attacked. The team promptly disconnected the affected contract and, in collaboration with major exchanges, blacklisted the hacker’s wallet, limiting losses to under $90,000. Earlier, blockchain security firm PeckShield estimated losses at $400,000. The attacker exploited Aethir’s cross-chain smart contract, AethirOFTAdapter, to transfer stolen funds from BNB Chain to Tron. Aethir stated that its Ethereum mainnet ATH token supply remains unaffected. It plans to release a detailed compensation plan and incident analysis next week and will collaborate with exchanges including Binance, Upbit, and Bithumb to freeze funds. Web3 security platform ZeroShadow is assisting with the investigation. In 2025, Aethir achieved $127.8 million in revenue and deployed over 440,000 GPU containers globally.

According to an official announcement, Binance Alpha Box is now live, powered by the latest Alpha Box model. The airdrop pool consists of tokens from three projects: Ark of Panda (AOP), Rekt (REKT), and Yei Finance (CLO). Users holding at least 240 Binance Alpha Points can claim the token airdrop once via the Alpha Events page. Upon claiming, users will be assigned to one of three reward tiers, receiving either 715, 860, or 2,860 AOP tokens; 192,307,700, 230,769,230, or 769,230,770 REKT tokens; or 335, 400, or 1,335 CLO tokens. Rewards are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. If all rewards are not fully claimed, the point threshold automatically decreases by 5 points every 5 minutes. Claiming the airdrop consumes 15 Binance Alpha Points, and users must confirm their claim within 24 hours—otherwise, the claim will be forfeited.
According to Cointelegraph, the joint U.S., U.K., and Canadian law enforcement operation “Operation Atlantic” concluded in March this year, led by the U.K.’s National Crime Agency (NCA). The operation froze over $12 million in assets suspected to be proceeds of fraud, identified more than 20,000 victims, and involved total fraud losses exceeding $45 million. The operation focused on authorized phishing attacks—a scam technique that tricks users into signing malicious authorizations, thereby granting attackers permission to transfer tokens from their wallets. Binance participated in the operation, providing account screening and fraud intelligence support; however, no funds were frozen from its platform.
According to Binance, Binance Wallet has officially launched its prediction market feature. By integrating Predict.fun—the leading on-chain prediction market platform on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC)—users can now directly take positions on future outcomes across sports, economics, world events, culture, and cryptocurrency—all within the Binance App. This feature offers one-click access and supports direct trading using spot and funding account balances. Gas fees are fully covered by Binance Wallet, and both market orders and limit orders are supported. For security, Keyless MPC technology is employed. Upon market settlement, correctly predicted outcome shares are redeemed at $1 per share. Binance Wallet serves only as an access point and does not act as a counterparty to trades; the actual service is provided by Predict.fun. This feature is available only to users in select regions.
