Singaporean cryptocurrency exchange BingX suffered a $52 million loss across a broad range of cryptocurrencies. The thefts occurred across two attacks that were hours apart. The attack appears to have targeted one of the exchange's hot wallets.

Some accused the exchange of trying to cover up the theft by announcing "temporary wallet maintenance" without disclosing that a theft had occurred. The team later announced that "there has been minor asset loss", and stated that the lost funds would be restored out of the company's capital.

Around $10 million of the stolen assets were frozen during recovery efforts after the theft.
