Binance says it has covered 90% of assets stolen in a $6.3 billion hack

Binance reported on Saturday that it covered 90% of the $6.3 billion in assets stolen in a hack of its platform, with the remaining 10% consisting of less-liquid tokens. The exchange said it set aside roughly $6.34 billion in company funds and remained on track to resume withdrawals on Sunday, November 1. Blockchain analytics firms pointed to North Korea's Lazarus Group as the likely culprit.
