Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao “CZ” said on Friday that the exchange has frozen or recovered $450,000, which was stolen from DeFi protocol Curve.Finance earlier this week.
On Tuesday, hackers stole nearly $570,000 from Curve.Finance, after which the protocol developers said that they had identified and fixed the source of the issue.
Curve.Finance is a major player in the DeFi ecosystem due to its CRV token rewards emissions, which serve as a source of income for several other protocols.
The exchange is now working with law enforcement to return funds to impacted users, according to CZ’s tweet.
