$BTC :
Binance needs to replace the missing assets. Whatever cannot be restored through recoveries or existing company holdings needs to be BOUGHT BACK. The exact purchase amounts have not been announced.
The estimated impact is $6.3 BILLION, with approximately $3 BILLION already frozen. The Frozen Funds will be Re-Minted and sent back to Binance while the Frozen funds will remain frozen forever. The full $6.3 billion represents 3.91% of all Binance holdings, once Tether/ Circle re-issue the frozen $3 billion, the remaining hacked amount falls to $3.3 BILLION, or 2.05% of total Binance assets. So in case nothing gets additionally frozen in the next days, simply translates into: Binance is forced to re-purchase $3.3 BILLION of stolen assets and that includes a big amount of Bitcoin. And in another way of translation this would mean, the Hacker holds $3.3 Billion worth of BTC and he won’t sell it as Hackers prefer BTC, and on top Binance needs to purchase Crypto and BTC worth $3.3 Billion. So overall, and mathematically correct this hack brings an inflow of $3.3 bn. This is why hacks are less harmful than liquidations such as FTX.
Let the bears celebrate the panic. I remain VERY bullish. In my view, the bull market continues, my longs from $80,400 and my spot holdings from $60,000 remain open, and this hack does NOT shake me out. I entered this market prepared for volatility. Let the bears celebrate today’s drop.
Yesterday Bitcoin was $2,000 above my long entry. Today, it is $2,000 below it. And I haven’t made a big deal out of it, ignore the volatile fluctuation and I’m trusting @cz_binance for 100%. The bull market needs to continue and I feel sorry for everyone who is capitulating based on this FUD.
