Binance has lost more than $6 billion in what CoinDesk calls the biggest crypto hack in history. Crypto prices fell on the news, and bitcoin dropped back to $77,000. Binance's co-CEO has said the exchange will cover all of the losses.

Why it matters

  • Bitcoin fell back to $77,000 as crypto prices slid on the hack news.
  • Binance says it will cover all losses, which could limit the spillover to other markets.
  • A hack of this size may make traders more cautious about where they hold funds.
