After being liquidated, "Maji" reloaded $250,000 to go long, bringing the total value of his long positions to around $5.88 million.

According to Binance CEO He Yi’s disclosure, Binance is acquiring altcoins that exactly match its stolen assets via over-the-counter (OTC) and on-exchange trading to complete its Proof of Reserves (PoR) process, and will update on progress once purchases are finalized. Combined with this statement and the already disclosed stolen asset records, these include 233.46 million XRP (valued at ~$296 million), 970,500 SOL (~$96 million), and 46.4 million TRX (~$16 million). Additionally, the hacker has dumped seven tokens—UNI, ENA, PEPE, LINK, AAVE, ONDO, WLD—converting them into 70,480 ETH for a total transaction value of ~$158.25 million. The dump amounts for UNI, ENA, PEPE, and LINK stand at ~$39.63 million, ~$33.93 million, ~$31.66 million, and ~$26.05 million respectively. Other stolen assets also include 74.56 million ARB (~$11.54 million), 714.911 million FUN (~$6.29 million), 87.853 million ZAMA (~$6.02 million), 3.602 million ZRO (~$5.69 million), and 3.382 billion RSR (~$5.02 million).

Synthetix issued a statement noting that the SNX tokens stolen from Binance have been recovered by the Synthetix Protocol DAO, and are now safely held in the Protocol DAO’s Safe wallet. The protocol added that it has notified Binance, and will return the relevant tokens once it receives Binance’s request.

After the Binance hack, large traders ramped up their positions in Bitcoin put options for hedging. Nicolas Quatravaux, head of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Paradigm, said that within 8 hours of the incident, the notional value of BTC block trades on the platform reached roughly $590 million, equivalent to half of the related block trading volume on Deribit in the same period, with trades clearly skewed toward put options. The first large trade took place at 20:38 UTC, before the news was made public: a purchase of put options covering 250 BTC, expiring October 31, with a strike price of $78,000, with a notional size of around $20 million. Three minutes later, another buy of the same contract incurred a cost about 35% higher. Buy orders were mainly concentrated on strike prices between $74,000 and $78,000, with most expiring this week and mid-November. Notably, two put option trades expiring mid-November with a strike price of $74,000 each covered 1,000 BTC, totaling a notional size of around $155 million. The report argues that this move is more of a hedge against further short-term pullbacks rather than a bet on an extreme market crash. Meanwhile, call options expiring in March were still being traded in the market, indicating not all traders are taking a defensive stance. Standard Chartered warned that market weakness could persist, and a new market bottom may not form until incident details are clarified and relevant exchanges and protocols unfreeze the involved tokens.

Binance founder CZ posted that the recovery of token assets appears to have started. He added that when users trade on Binance, they pay trading fees in the traded cryptocurrency, leading the exchange to naturally accumulate various tokens listed on its platform. CZ also emphasized: "User fund security!"

U.S. President Donald Trump said the war with Iran will end soon, by whatever means.

Binance founder CZ has responded to community discussions about Bitcoin’s resistance to price declines, stating that the leading cryptocurrency’s performance is quite surprising given the larger drops seen in traditional financial markets today. Historically, downturns in traditional markets weigh on crypto prices as investors sell assets to hoard cash, but Bitcoin has shown remarkable resilience this time. Earlier, some community users noted that a $6 billion+ hack on the world’s largest crypto exchange would likely trigger a sharp Bitcoin price slump, yet the token only fell around 3% that day—leading many to believe the market bottom may be approaching.
