Binance says user funds remain safe following a major hack. The exchange says withdrawals will resume once it has fully resolved the security issue.
Why it matters
The statement addresses the safety of customer funds, but withdrawals are still suspended while Binance works to resolve the issue. The pause makes access to funds a separate concern from the exchange’s assurance about their safety.
Market impact
Binance has not provided a timeline for restoring withdrawals in the statement. Customers and markets will be watching for confirmation that the security issue is resolved and withdrawals have resumed.
