Binance says the verified amount of funds frozen in connection with the hack has reached about $3 billion, up from $2.54 billion earlier.
Why it matters
The updated figure puts the scale of the frozen funds in focus. Freezing funds is distinct from recovering them, so the reported amount does not by itself establish how much has been returned to affected users.
Market impact
The update concerns fund tracking and recovery, not a reported change in crypto prices. The key distinction remains whether frozen funds can ultimately be recovered.
