Binance resumes withdrawals following $6.3 billion hack, says 90% of stolen user assets are covered
The dominant theme today was the fallout from the huge Binance hack, with recovery efforts, attribution and market reaction all in focus. Alongside that, questions about spending on artificial intelligence weighed on stocks, and several corporate and crypto stories rounded out the day.
02Neutral
Binance said it has restored
Binance said it has restored backing for ninety percent of the user assets affected by the hack and has resumed withdrawals in stages. The exchange put the size of the breach at six point three billion dollars. The FBI has blamed North Korea for the attack and is asking the private sector for help in blocking further laundering of the stolen digital assets.
Bitcoin held up better than expected after Binance hack, Strive CEO says
On the market side, the chief executive of Strive said Bitcoin has held up better than expected following the hack. He said the incident has not changed his long-term case for Bitcoin, though he cautioned it is too early to call a bottom. Separately, Michael Saylor said the next Bitcoin bull market has already begun, while also arguing his company can thrive without relying on Bitcoin or equity.

Stocks started the week with promise but ended in despair. Our take on the big reversal
Stocks had a rough session. The week began with promise but ended in a sharp reversal, as earnings from large technology companies reignited worries about spending on artificial intelligence and pushed investors toward defensive names. A separate forecast noted that technology weakness is putting a key support level for the S and P 500 at risk.
05Neutral
OpenAI pares fundraising goal, now seeking up to $20 billion in latest round
In corporate news, OpenAI has lowered its fundraising goal and is now seeking up to twenty billion dollars in its latest round. The round is still in progress and has not closed, so the figures could change. There was also a credit warning for Meta from S and P, and a lawsuit over air pollution tied to data centers in Memphis survived a bid to have it dismissed.
