> Binance says it has replaced 90% of the assets stolen in a record hack, with the remaining, less liquid tokens taking longer to repurchase. Withdrawals are expected to resume Sunday, and the exchange says users will not bear the loss. The FBI identified North Korea-backed group TraderTraitor as responsible.
