The story so far
Bybit is cited in recent coverage as the benchmark for the largest crypto theft before the Binance case. It lost roughly $1.5 billion in February 2025. The FBI later attributed that theft to North Korea's TraderTraitor group.
On 2026-10-29, Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, paused deposits and withdrawals. It also halted trading on Binance Alpha, its platform for early-stage crypto projects, after users reported funds leaving its wallets. Reports said that if the higher figures held, the loss would be nearly four times the Bybit theft.
On 2026-10-30, TRM Labs linked a theft of about $6.36 billion from Binance to TraderTraitor, the group the FBI named in the Bybit case. Analysts called it the biggest crypto hack on record. Binance said the hack drained about US$6.3 billion from its wallet and pledged to cover all losses. According to DefiLlama, it held roughly US$144 billion in assets before the breach.
