On July 6, Multichain encountered an alarming situation when significant outflows were detected on its platform. In response, Multichain suspended operations to investigate the issue. By the end of the day, approximately $125 million worth of Multichain assets had been illicitly transferred to various wallets. The most targeted was the Fantom bridge, with approximately $122 million worth of Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT) and other altcoins stolen from its holdings.Looks like another hack happened on Multichain. This DOES NOT affect users on @Binance or @Binance itself. We have swapped all assets out and closed deposits a while back. Regardless, we offer our assistance in helping with the situation.

In response, Multichain strongly recommended users halt all activities on the protocol and revoke any contract approvals associated with it. This precautionary measure was advised until investigations were concluded and a comprehensive explanation was provided.

During the investigation, Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao informed his Twitter followers that the exchange remained unharmed by the attack, reassuring them that all funds were secure. Additionally, he verified that Binance had already executed an asset swap and ceased accepting deposits from Multichain some time ago.


Instances of Twitter hacks like these are increasingly prevalent within the crypto industry. Users must exercise caution and refrain from clicking on unfamiliar links.
