Binance confirmed on Saturday that it has replaced 90% of the funds lost in a $6.3 billion security breach. The updated figure shows progress from the 80% mark reported just one day prior. The company maintains its timeline to restore account withdrawals on Sunday.
The platform is purchasing replacement tokens through market orders and over-the-counter trades to cover the losses. The unrecovered portion consists of tokens that possess lower market liquidity. Cointelegraph staff editors Bryan O Shea and Yohan Yun reported these details on October 31, 2026.
Market data recorded alongside the report listed Bitcoin at $77,486.61, BNB at $703.48, and Ethereum at $2,255.11. Additional asset values mentioned included Solana at $95.31, Chainlink at $11.68, and XRP at $1.25.
This announcement changes nothing directly for traders holding perpetual positions on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC, or OKX. While Binance's market purchasing continues, perpetual funding fees, liquidity, and holding costs on external venues remain tied to their own platform dynamics.
