A wallet linked to the Binance hacker lost nearly $5 million by swapping PROM tokens for Ether on Uniswap. Uniswap (UNI) is trading at R$367 ($7.35), up 2.2% since this brief published. This is an original Kriptometre brief based on reporting by The Cryptonomist, with live market data added, as of Sun, 01 Nov 2026 14:07:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This incident highlights the risks of executing large transactions on illiquid decentralized exchanges, as well as the challenges faced by hackers in liquidating stolen assets without incurring significant losses.

Key takeaways
  • The Binance hacker lost $5M by swapping PROM for just $71 in ETH on Uniswap.
  • The transaction occurred on Uniswap V2 with a near-empty liquidity pool.
  • The hacker's wallet originally contained $6.3B in stolen funds.

Bir Binance hackiyle ilişkilendirilen bir cüzdan, 5 milyon dolarlık PROM tokenini sadece 71 dolarlık Ether ile takas etti. Bu işlem, Lookonchain tarafından rapor edilmiş ve 1 Kasım 2026'da kamuoyuyla paylaşılmıştır. Cüzdan, neredeyse boş olan bir Uniswap V2 havuzuna satış yaptı ve kaybettiği değerin neredeyse tamamını kaybetti.

Finbold'un raporuna göre, bu kayıp, 6.3 milyar dolarlık Binance hackinin arkasındaki saldırganın başına gelen son mali yenilgidir. Saldırgan, çalınan fonları nakde çevirmeye çalışırken önemli kayıplar yaşamaktadır.

Uniswap V2'deki likidite havuzunun neredeyse boş olması, bu büyük işlemin fiyatı olumsuz etkiledi. DeFiLlama'ya göre, Uniswap'ın toplam kilitli değeri (TVL) şu anda 3.62 milyar dolardır ve son 7 günde %4.1 oranında düşüş yaşamıştır.

Bu olay, merkeziyetsiz borsalarda büyük işlemlerin risklerini ve çalınan varlıkları nakde çevirmeye çalışan hackerların karşılaştığı zorlukları ortaya koyuyor. Saldırgan, orijinal olarak 6.3 milyar dolarlık çalıntı fonlara sahipti.

Piyasa genelinde düşük volatilite devam ederken, Bitcoin son 24 saatte %0.28 oranında değer kazandı. Kripto para birimlerinin toplam piyasa değeri 2.68 trilyon dolar seviyesinde seyrediyor ve Fear & Greed endeksi 34 (Korku) seviyesinde bulunuyor.
