Binance Jersey is one of four independent branches of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume. Binance also operates exchanges in Malta, Singapore, and Uganda with Binance US set to open with the next two months according to a recent report.
Linking to his Twitter account, the hacker asked Binance CEO Changpeng 'CZ' Zhao to contact him directly.
The Twitter hacking comes almost three months after a successful hacking of Binance's online exchange, costing the exchange over 7,000 bitcoin.
As of press time, Binance has deleted the posts.

More For You
KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

How crypto's promised year-end fireworks turned into a bloodbath
Digital asset treasuries, altcoin ETFs and bitcoin’s famed year‑end seasonality were meant to supercharge prices. What came instead was the worst drawdown since 2022's crypto winter.
What to know:
- Digital asset treasuries, altcoin ETFs and seasonal strength all failed to support prices, with some DATs now risking forced selling as their market caps fall below NAV.
- October’s $19 billion liquidation cascade hollowed out market depth, and the subsequent rebound has been fueled more by short covering than fresh demand.
- With ETF enthusiasm fading, DATs under pressure and rate cuts failing to lift prices, crypto is entering the new year without a clear bullish catalyst — though capitulation could eventually create opportunity.
