Binance resumed phased cryptocurrency withdrawals after suspending them following a major cyberattack that diverted over $6 million. The platform began Bitcoin withdrawals on Sunday, followed by Ethereum and stablecoins like USDT and USDC. The company stated it prioritizes high-demand assets and will conduct stability and security tests before reopening. The FBI attributed the attack to the North Korean state and identified the group TraderTraitor as responsible, noting prior association with the 2025 Bybit attack.
