Binance has released an update on the security incident, stating that it has covered approximately 95% of the affected funds from the theft, an increase from the previously announced 90%. The remaining ~5% consists of tokens outside the top ten assets. Due to low market liquidity, Binance is still procuring these tokens via the open market and over-the-counter (OTC) channels, and more time is needed to reach the required scale. Binance also noted that user balances of BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC have achieved 100% reserve coverage, and users can verify this via the Proof of Reserves (PoR) page. Binance reiterated that it will bear all financial losses resulting from the stolen funds and will not pass the losses on to users. Once the investigation is completed, the platform will also release a post-incident review report to disclose more details.

Binance has issued an update on its security incident recovery, announcing that Phase 1 withdrawal services will resume from 14:00 to 17:00 Beijing Time (06:00 to 09:00 UTC) on November 1. The first batch of supported networks and assets include BTC, ETH, BNB, TRX, SOL, XRP, ZEC, DOGE, TON, POL, AVAX, ARB, BASE, OP, and SUI. Deposit services remain fully open and unaffected by the incident. The exchange noted that withdrawal resumption will be phased, with specific assets and networks prioritized based on user demand data from the past week, and will be gradually rolled out after completing security and stability checks. Other networks and assets will be restored sequentially once ready. Due to high initial traffic, some users may encounter withdrawal delays or failures and are advised to retry later.
