Briefings
A Binance attacker successfully split $292 million worth of XRP into six distinct wallets without triggering a freeze by Ripple, creating a potential interception point for exchanges. The transaction occurred on November 2, 2026, involving a total value of $292 million in XRP. The attacker's specific wallet addresses are not disclosed in the provided evidence, and the outcome remains uncertain due to the inability to verify the final distribution.
Key points
- A Binance attacker split $292 million of XRP into six wallets without triggering a freeze by Ripple.
- The transaction occurred on November 2, 2026, involving a total value of $292 million in XRP.
Context
Ripple cannot freeze native XRP, leaving exchanges as a potential interception point for the funds. This scenario highlights the risks of splitting large crypto transfers without proper verification protocols.
Limitations
The evidence does not specify the attacker's wallet addresses, the exact timing of the split, or the final distribution of funds. The outcome remains uncertain due to the inability to verify the transaction's completion or the attacker's actions.
