According to Bloomberg, the recent theft on digital assets appears to have taken almost USD 100 million worth of Binance Coin, further destabilising an already disastrous year for cryptocurrencies. According to Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, co-founder of Binance, an exploit took place on a bridge connecting blockchains, but the problem is "contained now." Zhao posted this on Twitter on Friday. According to Bloomberg, this year's cryptocurrency attacks cost victims almost USD 2 billion.
