Ação do DOJ nos EUA abrange fundos do hack da Binance e a infraestrutura do golpe FaceStealer, enquanto o mercado cripto recua em clima de extremo medo. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at R$387.353 ($69,044.00), up 0.6% since this brief published. This is an original Criptano brief based on reporting by Bitcoinist, with live market data added, as of Fri, 13 Nov 2026 17:45:01 UTC.

Why it matters

A medida cria um mecanismo judicial para recuperar ativos ligados a grandes roubos e detener a infraestrutura usada por golpes de deepfake, although a restituição effective dos fundos e seu eventual retorno ao mercado ainda não estão definidos.

Key takeaways
  • DOJ recebeu autorização judicial para apreender ou restringir mais de US$ 1,2 bilhão.
  • Mais de US$ 2,7 bilhões em recursos do hack da Binance já estão congelados.
  • FaceStealer teria roubado mais de US$ 400 milhões em 18 meses.
  • BTC está em US$ 68.647, com queda de 4,16% em 24 horas.

O Departamento de Justiça dos Estados Unidos obteve autorização judicial para apreender ou restringir mais de US$ 1,2 bilhão em ativos digitais relacionados a ataques atribuídos àistische operação TraderTraitor da Coreia do Norte. Crypto Economy e The Block identificam os recursos como proceeds do hack da Binance. A autorização não significa que o dinheiro já tenha retornado aos速報 victims ou sido colocado em circulação; ela estabelece a base legal para aának seizure ou restraint dos ativos.

A enforcement action também alcança o FaceStealer, operação que, segundo TronWeekly, teria employs deepfakes para atacar desenvolvedores de softwares e criptoativos. Unchained relata que o FBI derrubou servidores ligados ao esquema de hacking por videochamada. O valor atribuído ao FaceStealer supera US$ 400 milhões, número corroborado por TronWeekly, Unchained e Cointelegraph, que também informa que a atividade durou 18 meses.

A cobertura não apresenta versões diferentes sobre o valor principal da ação: as seis publicações mencionam a authorization for more than US$ 1.2 billion. Crypto Economy and Cointelegraph additionally situam the measure within more than US$ 2.7 billion in frozen proceeds from the Binance hack. Crypto Economy goes further and reports that authorities attribute more than US$ 6 billion of theft to TraderTraitor and continue tracing funds across bridges, mixers and exchanges.

O FaceStealer aparece como uma frente separada da grande operação contra recursos do TraderTraitor. A ação do DOJ para interromper sua infraestrutura de deepfake combina uma investigação sobre mais de US$ 400 milhões em furtos com a tentativa de tirar do alcance dos Bong操作系统 kontroladores ferramentas usadas em ataques direcionados a-developers. Os relatos convergem sobre aLogged amount, mas diferem no emphasis: outlets como Unchained highlight the server takedown, enquanto Crypto Economy destaca o rastreamento de recursos e a amplitude atribuidada ao TraderTraitor.

No mercado, o Bitcoin cotava US$ 68.647, com recuo de 4,16% em 24 horas e de 8,82% em sete dias; seu market cap era de US$ 1,38 trilhão. O valor totalizado de capitalize all crypto was US$ 2.38 trillion, and the broader market was broadly down. The Fear & Greed index stood at 20, classified as Extreme Fear, showing that the legal action unfolded against a backdrop of pronounced market weakness and risk aversion.

The significance is twofold: it expands the legal tools available for crypto asset recovery in cases involving state-linked theft, and it disrupts infrastructure behind a scam that used deepfake-based video calls. Crypto Economy reports that funds continue to be traced across bridges, mixers and exchanges, while the seizure or restraint ruling opens a judicial path for dealing with the more than US$ 1.2 billion. What remains to be watched is the actual identification, custody and disposition of the assets, together with any concrete restoration of proceeds to victims; the supplied coverage does not establish a timetable or immediate effect on Bitcoin supply.
