🚨 The LARGEST crypto hack in history has just happened. @binance is investigating a suspected security breach after more than $5.6 billion in crypto assets were identified across wallets associated with the attacker. The reported breakdown: • $1.45B in BTC • $875M in ETH • $234M in TRX • $50M in XAUT • $1.57B in USDT • $823M in USDC • $75M in WBETH • $88.5M in RLUSD • $447.5M in other cryptocurrencies That's approximately $5.61 billion in total. @tether, @circle, and other industry partners have frozen billions in assets linked to the incident. Binance has since reported $3 billion in verified frozen funds. Binance maintains that user funds remain safe and says it will cover hacking losses. For comparison, the previous record was the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025. @chainalysis has since estimated the Binance theft at approximately $5.9 billion, while TRM Labs puts the figure above $6 billion. The investigation is ongoing, and the final loss figures are still being established.

DTCC plans to expand blockchain support, with additional integrations expected in 2027.

UPDATE: 🇧🇷 Brazil’s traditional banking sector is moving further into regulated crypto services. @itau has filed with the country’s central bank to register its cryptocurrency trading and custody operations under the new rules, becoming the first bank to complete the notification process. Unlike dedicated crypto providers, Itaú can use a notification process because it is already authorized and supervised by Brazil’s central bank.

🚨LATEST: @Ripple's RLUSD is gaining access to a wider trading and payments network. @coinbase now supports $RLUSD across its retail and institutional platforms, with deposits and withdrawals available on the XRP Ledger, @ethereum and @base.

It does not block tokenized versions of those stocks on other platforms.

🇹🇭 Thailand’s Supreme Court has recognized Bitcoin as property in a criminal case involving a 2022 robbery on Koh Samui. The victim was forced to transfer 2.480801 $BTC, worth around $50,000 at the time. The court found that Bitcoin’s market value and ability to be owned and exchanged for cash qualify it as property under Thai law. The ruling does not grant Bitcoin legal tender status.

Google MPC distributes cryptographic signing authority across multiple systems and allows institutions to set transfer limits, restrict destination wallets and require additional approvals.
