[Binance Hackers Accidentally Transferred Approximately $3.5 Million Worth of Tokens to NEWT Contract, Assets Irretrievable] The Newton Foundation posted on the X platform that the attackers in the Binance hack today apparently made a mistake, transferring approximately 8 million NEWT tokens, along with 17 other tokens including ANIME, ANKR, ARPA, BARD, CELR, DENT, DOLO, FTT, GLM, HIGH, HOT, KNC, LQTY, RARE, RESOLV, SIGN, and WOO, directly to the NEWT token contract address. These tokens are worth approximately $3.5 million at current prices. The Newton Foundation stated that the NEWT contract itself was not compromised, but because the contract is immutable and lacks owner or administrator privileges, these administrative privileges were relinquished on-chain in 2025 and are permanently prohibited from being upgraded. Therefore, these tokens are irretrievable.
