Binance is working with the FBI to recover funds stolen in the $6.3 billion Binance hack, a person familiar with the matter said on October 30, 2026. The exchange confirmed cooperation with law enforcement but did not identify the agencies involved.

Binance hack recovery effort

Binance said industry partners had frozen $3 billion of the stolen funds and that it was working with law enforcement to recover them. Frozen assets have not necessarily been recovered.

The FBI had not responded to a request for details about the reported cooperation by the time of publication.

Funds reserved for losses

The exchange said it had reserved more than $6.34 billion in company funds to cover losses, including $5 billion held in the same tokens that were stolen.

An earlier cryptocurrency seizure

In a separate case, the US Department of Justice said its 2022 Bitfinex seizure recovered more than 94,000 bitcoin linked to a 2016 exchange hack. The cryptocurrency was worth more than $3.6 billion at the time of seizure.
