We are investigating a cluster of large outflows from Binance hot wallets that began at approximately 20:24 UTC on 29 October 2026. On-chain, the transfers look consistent with unauthorized movement from those wallets, but this has not been confirmed by Binance, and we cannot yet rule out an internal treasury or operational sweep.
Observed chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Avalanche, with related receipts also visible on Optimism.
Observed scale (approximate, still being reconciled):
Ethereum: about $2.5 billion from Binance 14 and Binance 16, plus an additional 780,000,000 USDC from a Binance smart account
Arbitrum: about 8,426 ETH (~$19.5 million)
Avalanche: about 1.81 million AVAX and 8.4 million USDT (~$24 million)
Affected Binance wallets include:
Ethereum Binance 14: 0x28C6c06298d514Db089934071355E5743bf21d60
Ethereum Binance 16: 0xDFd5293D8e347dFe59E90eFd55b2956a1343963d
Ethereum smart account: 0xEe7aE85f2Fe2239E27D9c1E23fFFe168D63b4055
Arbitrum Binance 56 / Hot Wallet 1 / Binance 89: 0x1b5b4e441f5a22bfd91b7772c780463f66a74b35, 0xf92402bb795fd7cd08fb83839689db79099c8c9c, 0x3931dab967c3e2dbb492fe12460a66d0fe4cc857
Avalanche Binance 49 / 85 / 110 / 118: 0x9f8c163cBA728e99993ABe7495F06c0A3c8Ac8b9, 0x6D8bE5cdf0d7DEE1f04E25FD70B001AE3B907824, 0xABa2D404C5C41da5964453A368aFF2604Ae80A14, 0x3BCE63C6C9ABf7A47f52c9A3a7950867700B0158
Primary collection address (same across the affected chains): 0x5227f603C1eE34CE3C06eFe6477003BDfCCB2f8c
Further destination wallets currently holding a large share of the funds include: 0x9749292D74Fd460982d0912eA9515EA24736C762, 0x0Ddf0480016e6bCb2C1F5d190D221FBA1320697e, 0x8532fa14acaf483729c449b8458aeddb900543d4, and 0x8d53903625b8e839b9DF4bd28B0EFb1CD6b8639A.
We recommend treating this as unconfirmed until Binance issues an official statement. We will update as we verify more.

There is a significant cultural movement and angry mob developing around the @AbstractChain shut down.

People are voting with their wallets, signing petitions, and uncovering dirt most of us never knew about.
This is going to be big.

AI = abundance.
Everyone is a dev
Everyone is a deployer
Everyone is a content producer
Ai can issue 60m tokens
Ai can deploy 60m apps
Ai can post 600m opinions
Ai cannot manufacture distribution.
Ai does not have taste or discernment or a trusted human face to connect with.
This is why distribution, taste, trust and human judgment are becoming exponentially more valuable.
In a world of infinite products, scarce human influence becomes the premium asset.
That’s just one of the reasons why we’re building the stock market for personal brands. 🏛️

Doing a community poll: If we were to bring more ETFs onchain, which would traders on @base prefer more of - thematic ETFs (tracking AI, Semicon, Energy, Geopolitics) or core ETFs (tracking developed markets, emerging markets, bond/trsy markets)?

A year ago, content creators were going viral on @base.
Then, as with many brave ideas, there was a bubble.
Yes, the moment came and “pop!” and we all went on a crazy journey together.
Those were ruthless and painful moments. But what I have come to appreciate is finding out who is resilient.
I want to be surrounded by people with grit, and there are more now in my friendship circle than a year ago.
My goal is simple: inspire them to do even more.
If you are a CC: post your accounts here so I can appreciate you.
