Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Binance-linked attackers moved 233.46 million XRP stolen from the exchange into seven new accounts on November 2, according to on-chain analyst Bitquery, with six of the wallets receiving more than 1 million tokens each. Five addresses received 40.001 million XRP apiece, one received 33.45592 million and the seventh got 1,000. Binance disclosed on November 3 that the October 29 incident stemmed from unauthorized access to its internal wallet-signing service, letting the attacker execute transactions outside normal withdrawal procedures. The funds were originally swept from five Binance hot wallets to attacker-controlled addresses between 05:05 and 05:09 KST on October 30. The split into fresh wallets matters because it complicates tracing and may signal preparation for sales, swaps or consolidation. Next, watch whether the seven addresses move funds to exchanges or mixers and whether Binance updates its reimbursement or recovery plans.
