Editor’s note: This article was corrected on October 29, 2026. An earlier version included an unsupported claim about AI-angle rumors circulating about the incident, stated that Binance was the only exchange confirmed to be affected, and carried a paragraph linking the incident to a broader Bitcoin price decline and liquidations. Those claims have been removed. Reported transfer figures, tracked-wallet holdings and stablecoin freeze figures are now stated in separate scopes with their sources named. The article’s original web address, which carried the removed claim in its URL, has been replaced.
