> Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, was hit by a hack worth $6.3bn (£4.7bn). The company says half the assets have been frozen, while many remain with the hackers. Two analytics firms blamed a North Korean hacking unit, but no one has claimed responsibility. Binance did not directly address possible links to North Korea.
