In 2016, the Ethereum Blockchain was hacked as unknown fraudsters syphoned 3.6 million Ether, worth over $9 billion at current prices, from the DAO. Since then, extra precautions have been put in place on the Ethereum blockchain, such as a hard fork creating Ethereum Classic and the new and improved Ethereum. Other emerging blockchains and groups have also done what is necessary to ensure customers feel safe to use their network. As a result, trading DeFi binary options on many platforms is more secure today than it was several years ago.
