In the world of digital finance, security isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of trust. As the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance has built a multi-layered security ecosystem designed to keep your assets SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) around the clock.
1. The $1 Billion Safety Net: SAFU
Established in 2018, the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) is an emergency insurance fund designed to protect users in extreme "black swan" events like sophisticated hacks.
A Living Reserve: Binance allocates 10% of all trading fees to this fund.Transparent & Robust: As of February 2026, the fund is maintained at a value of approximately $1 billion, primarily held in Bitcoin to align with the crypto ecosystem.
2. Deep Cold Storage: Keeping Your Assets Offline
To minimize the risk of cyberattacks, the vast majority of user funds are stored in offline, cold storage facilities. This means they are completely disconnected from the internet, making them inaccessible to online hackers.
3. AI-Powered, Real-Time Vigilance
Binance employs a state-of-the-art risk management system that analyzes every single withdrawal, password reset, and login attempt.
Anomaly Detection: Using advanced AI and machine learning, the system flags suspicious transaction patterns, such as unusual withdrawal amounts or logins from new locations.Protective Pauses: If high-risk activity is detected, withdrawals can be suspended for 24–48 hours to allow for manual review and owner confirmation.
4. Advanced User-Level Armor
While Binance builds the walls, they also give you the tools to lock your own door.
Next-Gen 2FA: Beyond simple SMS, Binance supports Passkeys (FIDO standard), biometrics (Face ID/Touch ID), and hardware security keys like YubiKey.Whitelisting: You can restrict withdrawals to only pre-approved wallet addresses, ensuring that even if an account is compromised, funds cannot be moved to a stranger's wallet.Anti-Phishing Codes: A unique code you set that appears in every legitimate Binance email, helping you instantly spot fake phishing attempts.
5. A Global Compliance Powerhouse
Security also means playing by the rules. Binance has expanded its compliance and risk teams to over 1,000 professionals who work closely with international law enforcement to track stolen assets and dismantle criminal networks. In 2024 alone, these systems prevented over $4.2 billion in potential user loss.
