Despite Binance suffering a record $6.4 billion hack on Thursday, Bitcoin's price fell by only about 3% to $76,400 on Friday, a stark contrast to the nearly 11% drop seen in 2018 after a smaller attack on the exchange. Analysts attribute this resilience to the growing influence of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which now hold approximately 1.3 million BTC (about 6% of supply), along with a more optimistic market, increased liquidity, active long-term investors, and clearer regulatory frameworks. Binance has confirmed the attack and committed $6.34 billion to cover losses, with about $3 billion of stolen funds already frozen.
