Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Kim Yo Jong, sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, denied Pyongyang's involvement in the $6.3 billion hack of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, calling the FBI's accusations "absurd rhetoric" and a "grave political provocation," according to state media KCNA. The FBI had attributed the October 29 attack to North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor, saying the stolen funds were being converted primarily into ETH and could be further laundered through DeFi platforms and instant swap services. U.S. authorities have urged crypto exchanges and service providers to block transactions linked to the stolen funds. The denial escalates a geopolitical dispute over the largest crypto theft on record. Watch for on-chain tracking of the ETH conversions, exchange compliance with the FBI's blocking requests, and any further U.S. or North Korean statements.
