Binance co-founder He Yi responded on November 7 to claims that “a UID collision caused assets to be lost”: Every Binance user has one unique, individual UID, so collisions are impossible. PANews, Odaily, and ChainCatcher independently verified this the same day.
Here’s what happened: When transferring funds from Binance’s main platform to Binance Thailand, the user mistakenly entered a UID directly to make the transfer and failed to check the details carefully during the second confirmation step. After the incident, He Yi and four employees followed up throughout and promptly helped freeze the funds in question. The recipient is inactive and has not yet responded, so they are still trying to make contact and resolve the matter.
He Yi also reminded users that local fiat trading platforms such as Binance Turkey, Binance Thailand, and Binance US are independent platforms and do not share an account system. Please carefully check addresses and UIDs when making routine transfers or withdrawals. For market context, at around 17:00 on November 7 (UTC+8), BTC was trading at about $76,200 on Binance Spot, up approximately 0.6% from 24 hours earlier. ETH was around $2,250, BNB around $696, and SOL around $90.3; major tokens were generally steady. Assets lost to a supposed “UID collision” are more likely the result of entering the wrong UID when transferring between platforms. The main platform and local fiat platforms do not use the same account system, so taking an extra moment to double-check during the confirmation step can save a lot of hassle compared with trying to recover funds afterward. Cross-platform transfers are nothing unusual; what is unusual is that many people mistake “entering the wrong UID” for “a system UID collision.” Understanding the difference makes you that much more confident when making transfers.
