- Ripple and World Liberty Freeze $227M Linked to Binance Hack — this brief
In an unusual display of industry-wide cooperation, Ripple and 
World Liberty Financial have joined the effort to freeze funds stolen from Binance. Ripple has reportedly frozen approximately $200 million in 
USD1 tokens, while World Liberty Financial has frozen around $27 million.
This action follows earlier moves by 
Tether, Circle, and Coinbase, which have also participated in the freeze of assets linked to the hack. The coordinated response highlights the industry's ability to collectively address large-scale security breaches.
Despite the freeze, the circulating supply of USD1 remains at $3.89 billion according to DeFiLlama, suggesting that the majority of the stablecoin's supply is unaffected. However, the market cap of USD1 has slightly decreased to $3.87 billion.
The broader crypto market remains under pressure, with 
Bitcoin down 2.61% in the last 24 hours and the overall market cap at $2.68 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 30, indicating a state of fear among investors.
The freeze of stolen assets is a significant development in the ongoing Binance crisis, but it also raises questions about the security measures in place at major crypto exchanges and the potential for future breaches.
