What happened
Following a major cryptocurrency theft linked to North Korea, Binance has been replacing stolen coins to lift a withdrawal freeze. The exchange has restored 90% of the stolen assets and plans to cover the remaining 10% using corporate funds. Binance allocated $6.34 billion from its corporate funds into a User Fund to cover these hacked losses.

Why it matters
Binance is actively purchasing remaining affected tokens through market and OTC channels, including Bitcoin and Solana. This replenishment effort is being monitored by holders as a potential factor that could drive up the price of Bitcoin.
