Opinion: Binance's stolen losses of approximately $3 billion can be earned back within a year.

BlockBeats news, October 30 - According to analysis by crypto KOL Crypto Brave (@cryptobraveHQ), the loss from Binance's recent hack may be around $3 billion. Binance could potentially earn back the stolen funds in less than a year.

Based on third-party estimates such as Forbes, Binance's revenue in 2024 and 2025 is approximately $16–17 billion each year. Assuming a 50% profit margin (Coinbase's latest data is about 59%), the annual profit is around $8–8.5 billion, and the $3 billion loss is roughly equivalent to more than half a year's profit.

Based on BNB burn of approximately $4.4–4.5 billion in 2025, the $3 billion loss is roughly equivalent to 8–9 months of burn amount.
