How much of the $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency stolen from Binance will ultimately be recovered? It's highly likely that only $3 billion will be recoverable. This $3 billion consists of stablecoins frozen by Tether and Circle, which the hackers couldn't take. However, Binance will have to wait through a lengthy legal process to get it back. The remaining $3.3 billion is essentially unrecoverable. The North Korean hackers have exchanged some for BTC and ETH, and are currently using DeFi to launder the rest into ETH. The freeze order cannot contain the decentralized revolution.
