Binance says it has replenished 90% of the shortfall from stolen assets, and withdrawals remain on track to resume Nov. 1. The exchange said its 10 largest tokens, including BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB and SOL, are now fully backed by reserves.
Why it matters
Binance funded the replenishment through a partial deployment of its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), excess balances from its Futures Insurance Fund and corporate treasury funds. The exchange said the Futures fund reallocation stays above regulatory and risk-management requirements.
Market impact
Binance committed to replenishing SAFU to approximately $1 billion. The Nov. 1 withdrawal schedule is the next operational milestone for users, while the remaining shortfall and SAFU restoration are key measures of the exchange's recovery.
