Binance says 90% of stolen crypto now replenished
क्या हुआ
Binance published its "Recovery Update #3" on Saturday, 31 Oct, at about 7:54 PM (IST). According to the exchange's own statement:
• 90% of the assets stolen in this week's $6.3 billion hack have now been covered; in the previous update (30 Oct) it was about 80%
• 10 tokens — BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC — are said to be 100% backed
• The remaining 10% are less liquid tokens, which are being bought through the market and OTC deals
• The money comes from three places: part of the SAFU fund, part of the Futures insurance fund and Binance's own corporate treasury
• A new Proof of Reserves snapshot was taken at 00:00 UTC on 31 Oct; the full zero-knowledge proof is expected by Tuesday, 3 Nov (UTC)
• Withdrawals are still paused. Binance says it is on track to reopen them on Sunday, 1 Nov, and will share details once they are confirmed.
These figures are Binance's own and have not yet been confirmed by an independent auditor. According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin was around $77,500 at about 9:30 PM (IST), roughly flat over 24 hours.
इसका मतलब
SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) is an emergency fund Binance created in 2018 from a share of trading fees, meant to cover user losses in situations like a hack. Proof of Reserves (PoR) is a method that lets each user check for themselves that the exchange holds their assets at least 1:1.
Lesson: when coins sit on an exchange, you do not control them directly — this week's withdrawal pause showed exactly that. An exchange's statement and an independent proof are two different things, so the 3 Nov zero-knowledge proof and the actual reopening of withdrawals are the two facts worth watching. This is for understanding only, not buy/sell advice.
सिर्फ़ समझ के लिए, prediction नहीं। यह buy/sell सलाह नहीं है, ख़बर पढ़कर सीधे trade न करें।
