TREE NEWS reports: Hackers linked to the Binance breach have swapped about $50 million worth of XRP, converting most of it into bitcoin, Elliptic said. Bitcoin obtained from other stolen assets nearly doubled in a day to 1,650 BTC, while the main ETH and bitcoin holdings remain untouched.

The movement itself is less notable than the pattern: laundering through XRP into bitcoin suggests the actors are consolidating into the deepest, most liquid asset rather than cashing out, and Elliptic's tracing means these flows are being watched in real time. The near-doubling of bitcoin tied to other stolen assets in a single day points to active, deliberate staging across wallets. What matters now is whether the untouched ETH and bitcoin reserves stay dormant or begin moving, since that would signal a shift from consolidation to distribution.
