The attackers held 18,270 BTC early Friday, topping Coinbase’s reported corporate holdings, and an Ether stash exceeding 500,000 ETH.
The attackers behind the $6.3 billion Binance hack held more Bitcoin on Friday than crypto exchange Coinbase’s holding for investment and operation at the end of September.
Blockchain analytics firm Bitquery traced 18,270 Bitcoin (BTC), worth roughly $1.4 billion, to 19 addresses linked to the attacker.
Binance confirmed Friday that it had suffered a $6.3 billion hack and said about $3 billion in stolen assets had been frozen. The exchange pledged to cover all losses.
