What happened

Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, suspended all deposits and withdrawals after a suspected hack that has frozen about $3bn in assets.

The company said it is running security checks, freezing funds and working with law enforcement, and that the frozen total could keep growing.

Binance later put the estimated losses from the "security incident" at up to $6.3bn, and said it will cover all losses.

Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao said the exchange was likely hacked and that he expects users to be fully reimbursed; he no longer runs Binance but remains its largest shareholder.

Tether froze about $971m and Circle about $823m, according to Zhao; Binance had earlier said it had found no interference with user funds.

Bitcoin fell below $77,000, its lowest level since September, and the Nasdaq 100 dropped almost 1.4%.

It is still unknown who is behind the attack, and none of the loss estimates circulating online has been confirmed.

“We are working around the clock to resolve this issue. Binance will cover all losses.”
