$3.11 Billion From Binance Theft Remains Parked as XRP Starts Moving

Roughly $3.11 billion from the record Binance theft remains parked in wallets linked to the attackers, even as the stolen XRP has started moving through cross-chain routes.

That split is the most important part of the latest blockchain picture. The laundering operation is active and sprawling, but the biggest pools of Bitcoin and Ether have not yet moved.

Decrypt reported that Elliptic now estimates about half of the $6.43 billion haul is still sitting in linked addresses, with the largest untouched pools concentrated in Bitcoin and Ether. A further $2.85 billion, or 44% of the theft, has been frozen or seized, mostly because stablecoin issuers such as Tether and Circle acted quickly within the first hour.
