Data: Binance's $1 Billion SAFU Fund for this time has been prepared a year ago

2026.01.30 16:47:56

On January 30, on-chain data, historical announcements, and tweet content show that Binance’s $1 billion Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) has been transferred from its old address to the new SAFU wallet address (0x420) referenced in an announcement one year ago. All funds were moved as USDC, and no further actions have been taken to date. Per Binance’s official updates: - In January 2022 (early-to-mid the last bear market), the exchange stated its SAFU Fund held $1 billion in assets, including BNB, BTC, USDT, and TUSD. - On November 9, 2022 (the bottom of the last bear market), Binance noted the market downturn had cut the fund’s value to $735 million, and it would boost holdings to restore the fund to $1 billion (comprising $700 million in BUSD/BNB and $300 million in BTC). - In April 2024, Binance announced all SAFU assets would be converted to USDC to maintain stability. Launched in July 2018, the SAFU Fund safeguards user assets in extreme scenarios (e.g., hacks, security vulnerabilities, or unforeseen events). It only covers losses for affected users, not daily operations. It previously fully compensated users in two incidents: the May 2019 hack (7,000 BTC) and the December 2020 infinite minting attack (10.1 million USD).

Jiang Zhuo'er: Bitcoin Has Not Successfully Broken Below $60,000 Support, Potential Rebound Over the Weekend

June 6: BitDeer Mining Pool (B.TOP) founder Jiang Zhuo'er noted in a post that Bitcoin has failed to effectively break below its $60,000 key support level. The narrowing price gap between major crypto exchanges Coinbase and Binance signals that selling pressure from U.S. institutional investors through ETFs and other U.S. equities channels is easing, hinting at a potential rebound in the cryptocurrency market over the weekend. Yesterday, Jiang announced he had "bought the dip"—repurchasing his entire Ethereum (ETH) holdings at $1,645. He plans to sell all his ETH positions once the digital asset rebounds within 1 to 3 days, he added.

Tonight, the "Gathering of Heroes" sees the Whale perform buy-the-dip, accumulation, liquidation, and onlooker behaviors, where only those who respect the market can sail far.

June 6th. Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night for stock and crypto investors. Driven by better-than-expected U.S. employment data, the U.S. stock market opened lower and plunged sharply immediately. As of press time, the downward trend shows no signs of abating, with the Nasdaq down 3.00%. Several previously hyped AI stocks have seen significant pullbacks. The crypto market is even bloodier. As anticipated, the familiar scenario of liquidations and position rebalancing has unfolded. But tonight, multiple whales are riding along with this: One whale, who went long with 104,772.57 WETH on-chain, has suffered partial liquidation. Notably, this is the same whale that bought the dip during El Salvador's February sell-off. Yet times have changed. As this whale helplessly watched their position get liquidated tonight, El Salvador is already on the shore, lamenting the stunning speed of the market slump. Meanwhile, during the on-chain whale liquidation frenzy, several high-profile tr

Ansem: Retail Investors Shouldn't Rush to "Catch a Falling Knife," Advises Patience to Wait for Bottom to Be Confirmed

June 6: Crypto KOL Ansem (@blknoiz06) advised retail traders to avoid "catching falling knives" during a market crash in a recent post. Unlike large cash buyers who capitalize on forced sell-offs to accumulate assets, retail investors trying to buy into plunging markets face extremely high risk—they’re effectively standing in front of a steamroller. He recommended retail traders wait patiently until panic selling subsides, the market establishes a clear bottom, and higher lows emerge before entering any positions.
