Chainalysis co-founder and CEO Jonathan Levin said the Binance hack was likely carried out by North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor, citing links to a previous hack.
In a post on X, Levin put the theft at $6.4 billion, slightly above Binance’s estimated $6.3 billion impact. He said industry partners had frozen approximately $3 billion and Chainalysis was continuing to track the funds.
