Blockchain trackers say the attacker tied to the Binance breach converted altcoins into about 70,480 ETH, worth roughly $158.25 million. The trades included UNI, ENA, PEPE, LINK, AAVE, ONDO and WLD, while questions remain about how the signing environment was accessed.
Key points

- TRM Labs reported signed transactions across nine non-Ethereum chains.
- The liquidation could affect token balances used in Binance’s proof of reserves.

Why it matters
The incident keeps operational security and signing controls in focus for major exchanges. It may also shape market scrutiny of reported reserves and any follow-on token rebalancing.
