October 30 reporting estimated Binance incident losses at about $6.3 billion. Earlier coverage reported $5.57 billion in outflows across three chains and roughly $1.8 billion frozen by Tether and Circle. These figures describe different stages and should not be added together.

Analytics firms suspected a North Korea-linked group, but attribution remained unconfirmed. Freezing funds does not establish full recovery or resolution of customer losses.
