TREE NEWS reports: 1inch said its token was among the assets stolen from Binance and that blocking attacker access to its apps cannot freeze the tokens themselves. The 1INCH token slid 13%, extending losses beyond those of Bitcoin and Ether. The disclosure links the token’s selloff to the Binance theft, with the protocol noting that app-level blocking does not stop the stolen tokens from moving on-chain.
1INCH Falls 13% as Token Tied to Binance Exploit Losses
The distinction 1inch draws matters: blocking attacker access to its own interfaces is a containment measure, not a remedy, because stolen tokens remain freely transferable on-chain. That gap between what a protocol can do and what holders might expect is the real story, and it explains why 1INCH underperformed Bitcoin and Ether rather than simply tracking the broader market. The open question is whether the token keeps trading as a proxy for exploit fallout, or whether the market separates the protocol's operations from the stolen supply.
