# Elliptic distinguishes frozen tokens from unfreezable stolen Bitcoin

Elliptic's cross-chain investigation puts the Binance theft at $6.43 billion by its methodology.

The analysis also explains why suspected North Korean involvement remains an attribution rather than an established fact. #binance #bitcoin #stablecoins #blockchainanalysis
