The Arbitrum network security council used special powers to transfer 8426 ETH and 74.6 million ARB from the Binance hacker's wallet - the owner's signature was not required for this.

After resuming withdrawals, Binance showed a daily net inflow of $1.82 billion. The weekly total, however, remained deeply negative: $11.832 billion in net outflow.
