$6.3bn Crypto Theft Hailed As Proof Digital Currency Is Finally As Secure As A Bank In A Western

Cryptocurrency worth $6.3bn has been stolen from Binance, in what one insider called 'the largest bank heist in human history', a sentence the industry had always hoped to say about itself in a different context. The FBI blames North Korea, which is now among the most successful fintech investors in the world. Binance insists user funds are safe, and in fairness the money is still on the blockchain, just not theirs.
