Binance says it has replenished 90 percent of the roughly $6.3 billion in crypto stolen from its users in a record-breaking heist. The company's CEO confirmed the figure, and Binance said it will cover the remaining 10 percent itself.
The exchange posted on X that the leftover slice consists of "less liquid" tokens, which it says may take longer to acquire. Withdrawals remain paused, but Binance says it is still on track to switch them back on Sunday, 2026-11-01.
