📢 Binance Announcement Update | October 31, 2026
1️⃣ Binance Publishes “Security Incident Update Announcement #2”
Binance said that at approximately 04:05 (UTC+8) on October 30, 2026, its hot wallet was attacked, resulting in the loss of token assets worth approximately $6.3 billion. Binance will fully cover the losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) and corporate funds, not user funds.
The company said it has prepared more than $6.34 billion in corporate funds. Token assets worth the equivalent of more than $5 billion—including USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH, and BNB—are already in place, covering approximately 80% of the stolen funds. The remainder is being purchased through market and over-the-counter channels. Approximately $3 billion in assets have been frozen on-chain so far.
👉 What this means for users:
· Withdrawals are suspended while a security review is underway. Binance said it is working to restore them within the previously announced timeframe of approximately 34 hours. Withdrawals will resume in phases by token, depending on the completion of security checks.
· Deposits and other unaffected services are operating normally. Binance has updated its initial notice to clarify that deposits are not affected.
· Binance plans to take its first Proof of Reserves snapshot within 12 hours and publish the results by Monday, November 2, 2026. Further technical investigation results are expected to be released within approximately 48 hours.
· Binance said its subsequent investigation found additional points of compromise beyond one compromised laptop. At this stage, it has found no evidence that wallet private keys were exposed.
Please rely on Binance’s official channels and beware of scam links and messages impersonating Binance.
