Binance announced that after reopening withdrawals on Sunday, it recorded $3.64 billion in net outflows. This net outflow occurred following the major $6.3 billion hack that recently took place on the exchange. The recent hack is considered one of the largest and costliest cyberattacks in the history of cryptocurrencies and has had significant repercussions for the market and Binance users.
Details of the Hack and Its Consequences
The recent hack, in which $6.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency was stolen from Binance, has raised serious concerns about the security of cryptocurrency exchanges.

Binance's Actions After the Hack
Following this hack, Binance quickly took action to review and analyze its security situation. The exchange also announced that all withdrawals had been paused for several days, and with their reopening, net outflows have rapidly increased. Binance has assured its users that all necessary measures have been taken to protect their assets and that the security of the exchange's systems has been improved. This could gradually restore the lost trust of users.
In addition to efforts to improve security, Binance is also exploring ways to compensate potential losses for users. The exchange is looking to establish an insurance fund for its users so that in the event of such incidents, it can cover the incurred damages. However, returning to normalcy may take time and require ongoing efforts.
