> The conversions moved the funds beyond Tether’s token-freezing mechanism as $2.8 billion in stolen assets had been frozen.

A total of $911 million in funds linked to the Binance exploit was converted into Ether (ETH) and TRON (TRX), moving those assets beyond Tether’s token-freezing mechanism; $2.8 billion in stolen assets had been frozen.

The figures track separate developments. The $911 million is the value moved into ETH and TRX, while $2.8 billion is the value of stolen assets reported frozen. Both are dollar values tied to the same incident, but they describe conversion and freezing, respectively.

The conversions involved Tether (USDT), the token covered by Tether’s freeze mechanism. Swapping that value into Ether and TRON put it beyond the mechanism described in the update. The $2.8 billion figure represents stolen assets already frozen, a separate outcome in the response to the Binance exploit.

The $911 million marks the converted amount, while $2.8 billion marks the freeze total. The figures separate the movement of funds from the freezing status of stolen assets in the incident.
