Le vol a eu lieu en fin d'après-midi et a duré environ vingt minutes.
Des chercheurs pensent que la Corée du Nord est peut-être responsable.
Binance travaille avec d'autres plateformes et a bloqué environ 3 milliards de dollars en cryptomonnaies.
L'entreprise promet de rembourser entièrement les clients qui ont perdu de l'argent.
