Binance hacker mixes $2.2m in Bitcoin as $3.24b remains tracked

The Binance hacker has begun mixing stolen funds through CoinJoin, moving roughly $2.2 million in Bitcoin through privacy transactions following the exchange’s multibillion-dollar theft. Around 28 BTC entered 18 CoinJoin transactions between Nov. 1 and early Nov. 2. Theft-linked addresses still held $3.24 billion, mainly in Ethereum and Bitcoin, according to Elliptic. Investigators previously identified $2.85 billion in frozen or seized assets, roughly 44% of the theft. Binance has committed company funds to replace stolen assets while investigators follow the laundering routes. Elliptic’s Nov. 2 report traced the first mixing to 05:55 UTC on Nov. 1.
