AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This report contains two figures based on different definitions: approximately 5912000000 USD is Chainalysis an estimate of the amount stolen at the time of the incident, while approximately 3000000000 USD is the verified total frozen amount previously cited by Binance. The amount stolen and the frozen amount are not the same measure and cannot be directly compared as equivalent metrics.
Why it matters to readers
If the estimate of approximately 5912000000 USD is confirmed, the amount stolen in the incident would be significantly higher than the approximately 3000000000 USD frozen amount cited in the report, and would be described as close to 2025 times the amount in the Bybit 4 year case.
Beginners should distinguish between the “estimated amount stolen” and the “verified frozen amount,” and wait for the original statement or subsequent disclosures rather than inferring actual losses or the recovery ratio based solely on the two figures.
Risks and unknowns
The current evidence is a retelling by PANews of Chainalysis’s post on X; the original post was not provided and therefore cannot be directly verified.

The evidence does not specify the exact relationship between the approximately 3000000000 USD frozen amount and the approximately 5912000000 USD estimate.
The evidence does not disclose the actual net loss, asset recovery status, or subsequent investigation results.
