The FBI has named North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as the party responsible for stealing about $6.3 billion in digital assets from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. The source describes the theft as a record. The FBI's statement was dated Thursday, and the report was published on Nov 1, 2026.
The FBI is also asking private companies for help. It wants to stop the stolen digital assets from being laundered any further.
The report does not say how the theft was carried out or which assets were taken. It does not say whether any funds have been recovered, whether Binance customers lost money, or how Binance has responded. Those questions are still open.
Perp Desk tracks the cost of holding perpetual futures on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC and OKX. Binance is not one of them. The report says nothing about funding rates, fees or liquidity on any of these four exchanges. So for anyone already holding a perpetual position on them, nothing changes directly based on what is known so far.
