Operations have nearly returned to normal. The company emphasized that it is long-term profitable and financially robust enough to absorb this loss and will continue to strengthen cybersecurity measures, including internal access controls, monitoring, and emergency response mechanisms.

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan previously dismissed a civil lawsuit that sought to hold Binance and its founder CZ accountable, alleging that their trading activities aided terrorist organizations in carrying out global attacks.

The judge also criticized the plaintiffs' 891-page complaint as "clearly overly lengthy," thus failing to meet the relevant liability standards under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
