Binance has put two dates on the table. Now the market gets to hold it to them.
After the hack, co-CEO Richard Teng set two targets. Withdrawals are aimed to resume by Sunday, Nov. 1, with a full proof-of-reserves report by Monday, Nov. 2, and an initial version possibly sooner.
The Sunday date comes with a catch. Binance is rebuilding its withdrawal service and won't reopen it until it passes strict tests. It's a goal, not a promise.

Dates matter because frozen withdrawals make people imagine the worst. A timeline gives that fear a shape, and money gives it weight. Binance says it has reserved more than $6.34B to cover the losses, with $5B already held in the affected assets. Deposits remained unaffected.
The candor helps too. Teng said multiple attackers were involved and investigators found additional entry points beyond the engineer's laptop. That's less tidy than the first explanation, but more believable for it.
Monday's report is the real test. Proof-of-reserves shows assets against customer balances, and traders will read closely for what's included and what's left out. A clear, detailed report calms things. A vague one adds fuel.
The risk is simple: a missed deadline, or a report with gaps, would reopen the trust question. The bullish possibility is an on-time restart with orderly withdrawals, plus a company-wide security review that leaves the exchange with tighter controls than before.
Trust in crypto comes back the way it leaves: quick to lose, slow to rebuild, and checked line by line.
