Binance hacker's stolen bitcoin sits idle as wallets get only sub-$1 messages

TradingGain Newsroom·1h ago·02 Nov 2026, 05:18 UTC

The 19 wallets holding 18,270 BTC taken in the Binance hack have received nothing of real value since Thursday. The only incoming payments were worth under a dollar each, and each carried a message, ranging from pleas for money to laundering offers and a token promotion. For traders, the lack of meaningful inflows means no clear new signal yet, but the stolen coins remain a possible source of future market movement.
