Dragonfly partner Haseeb: The market reaction to this Binance theft incident was far calmer than FTX PANews October 30 reported that Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi wrote that Binance's latest hack resulted in losses of slightly more than 6000000000 USD, which, calculated at USD, was only about FTX less than the funding shortfall of 25%. He said the overall market fell by only a few percentage points, outflows were limited, and dip-buying capital entered the market. Prices of directly affected altcoins also largely held steady, as the market believed Binance would repurchase all affected assets. Binance said it has begun recovering affected assets for users and is working with law enforcement agencies, token issuers, blockchain intelligence firms, and industry partners to trace, freeze, and recover funds, and has publicly committed to covering losses.
