The FBI said US authorities seized or obtained court authorisation to seize more than $1.2 billion of crypto stolen from Binance in October. The October 29 theft drained about $6.3 billion from Binance transaction wallets, mostly within around 20 minutes, and was attributed to North Korea-linked TraderTraitor. More than $2.7 billion of the stolen assets has been frozen so far, largely through stablecoin issuers and investigators acting within hours.
