Following the massive $6.3 billion hack of Binance on October 29, 2026, attackers have converted $175 million of stolen altcoins into approximately 2,300 BTC, increasing their bitcoin holdings. The laundering process is complex, involving over 20,000 wallets and 65,000 transactions across multiple blockchains and services, making tracing difficult. Key stolen assets like Solana, XRP, and Tron were converted into bitcoin, with some funds further obscured using coinjoin techniques. Despite these movements, the hackers' main bitcoin and Ethereum reserves remain untouched, highlighting ongoing challenges in tracking and recovering stolen crypto assets.
