Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, reported a $6.3 billion hack executed through AI-driven social engineering and fake job interviews. While the exchange has replenished 98% of the stolen assets, the incident underscores the growing sophistication of cyber threats in the crypto space. This event may lead to increased regulatory scrutiny and a temporary risk-off sentiment in digital assets, despite some analysts still projecting Bitcoin to reach $90,000 by year-end.
