Binance says it has covered 90% of losses from $6.3 billion hack

Binance says it used company funds to buy tokens and cover 90% of the $6.3 billion stolen in a cyberattack. The exchange says it has set aside more than $6.34 billion to cover losses, but the remaining 10% involves less-liquid tokens that may take longer to source. Investigators have pointed to hackers linked to North Korea, while Binance works to resolve what it called a complex attack and expects user withdrawals to resume Sunday. Prices of most major cryptocurrencies fell after the attack, and the United States and FBI said they were looking into it.

2026 Amended Finance Bill Rejected by Committee: Cheikh Diba Warns of Risks to State Treasury

The parliamentary committee rejected the 2026 amended finance bill despite explanations from Cheikh Diba’s Ministry of Economy, Finance and Planning. The ministry says it addressed the Pastef parliamentary group’s concerns, including energy subsidies, family security grants and priority spending, but that no amendments or counterproposals were submitted. It warns that the rejection, amid limited budget flexibility, difficulty accessing financial markets and ongoing negotiations with the IMF, could delay funding and increase pressure on the state treasury. The ministry says the uncertainty could undermine priority spending and the resumption of investment.
