Binance: The compensation ratio for stolen assets has increased to 90%, and withdrawals are still planned to resume on Sunday

Binance released a security incident update stating that the company had previously reserved over $6.34 billion of company funds to cover the stolen losses, with the coverage ratio at that time being approximately 80%, which has now increased to 90%. BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC have achieved 100% coverage, while the remaining related tokens will continue to be purchased through market and over-the-counter channels until the coverage ratio for all tokens reaches 100%. Binance stated that the financial impact of the stolen funds will be borne by the platform, not the users.

The replenished funds come from a partial drawdown of the user security asset fund SAFU, a portion of the contract insurance fund, and Binance's company funds. The partial drawdown of SAFU is expected to occur within the next 24 hours. The remaining 10% consists of assets outside the aforementioned ten tokens with lower liquidity, and the time required for purchase may be longer.

Binance completed a new reserve proof snapshot on October 31 at 00:00 (UTC) and updated it on the reserve proof page. The complete zero-knowledge proof is expected to take 40 to 50 hours to generate, approximately by November 3 (UTC). Withdrawal services will continue to progress according to the previous schedule, with plans to reopen on Sunday, November 1.

Binance introduced that SAFU was established in July 2018 and is held and managed by Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market Financial Services Regulatory Authority. The company commits to replenishing the scale of SAFU to approximately $1 billion and clarifies that the partial drawdown of SAFU is for purchasing the remaining 10% of assets. After withdrawing the balance exceeding the stipulated level, the contract insurance fund remains above the coverage level required by the existing risk management framework; if the balance falls below the requirement, Binance will make up the difference with company funds.
