Binance Suffers Record $6.4B Hack as Hyperliquid Launches U.S. Perps

Binance $6.4B hack — Binance has suffered the largest hack in cryptocurrency history, a $6.4 billion breach that overshadowed the launch of Hyperliquid’s new regulated perpetual futures offering in the United States.

The massive security incident at the world’s largest crypto exchange occurred on October 30, 2026. Details on the exploit’s method and the specific assets targeted were not immediately disclosed in the initial report.

The hack’s announcement coincided with a major milestone for the Hyperliquid derivatives platform, which opened access to a fully regulated perpetual futures product for U.S. traders. The platform’s native HYPE token was trading at approximately $89.42 at the time of the report.

Market data showed a mixed reaction across major cryptocurrencies following the news. Bitcoin traded near $77,315, while Ethereum held around $2,241. Binance’s own BNB token was priced at roughly $705.48.
