Arbitrum Freezes $260M in Binance Hack Funds, Adds USDG Stablecoin

Arbitrum's Security Council froze over 8,400 ETH and 74.5 million ARB tokens on October 30 after tracing them to an address connected with the Binance exploit. The emergency action used a temporary contract upgrade and affected no other accounts. Binance requested the funds back on November 5, triggering a governance process expected to last seven weeks.

The layer-2 network also launched Paxos' Global Dollar stablecoin on October 6 and opened a rewards program offering 2 million ARB tokens to protocols adopting USDG. Meanwhile, Robinhood Chain, which runs on Arbitrum infrastructure, surpassed $1 billion in locked value. ARB traded at $0.1674, up nearly 7 percent in 24 hours.
