Binance Reopens Withdrawals as Users Pull $4.65 Billion in 9.5 Hours

Binance processed $4.65 billion in withdrawals over 9.5 hours Sunday after restoring service across several networks, leaving $3.64 billion in net outflows following a $6.3 billion theft the FBI attributed to North Korean hackers. The exchange also handled $1.01 billion in deposits during the same period. The figures cover 1 a.m. ET (06:00 UTC) to 10:30 a.m. ET (15:30 UTC). Binance said withdrawal demand was strongest soon after service returned and later eased toward stable levels, while deposits remained substantial. It began restoring withdrawals in stages at 1 a.m. ET Sunday.
