North Korean hackers may target BlackRock's $62B Bitcoin ETF after Binance's $6B hack.

Yishi Wang, founder of crypto wallet maker OneKey, warned that North Korean hackers could target BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, following a $6 billion hack of Binance attributed to North Korea's TraderTraitor operation. The $62 billion IBIT ETF represents a significant target due to its large value and the growing integration of digital assets into traditional finance. This warning highlights a shift in cyber threats from smaller exchanges to large institutional products, raising concerns for investors and regulators about the security of digital assets held through mainstream financial vehicles. No specific vulnerabilities or responses from BlackRock have been disclosed yet.

The OneKey founder's warning about North Korean hackers targeting BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF IBIT comes as a backdrop to the broader crypto market, where 18 of 50 major cryptocurrencies on Pluang rose and 31 fell today. Notable movers include SNX (Synthetix) at Rp3.268 with a 2.18% decline and a typical hold time of 71 days, and CAKE (PancakeSwap) at Rp35.063, down 2.05% but with a strong buy order activity of 94%. This snapshot is as of Nov 02, 2026 12:21 WIB.
