Binance can replace $6.3B. Can it fix what allowed the hack?
The Binance hack is huge, but the number I'm watching now isn't just the amount stolen.
It's the amount users can actually access.
Binance says 95% of the affected tokens have been replenished. The remaining 5% are harder to source because they're less liquid.
Official recovery update:

That's a pretty important detail if you happen to hold one of those smaller tokens.
Still, replacing the assets is only one part of the problem.
What I'd really want to know is how the withdrawal permissions were compromised in the first place, and what actually changed afterward.
A reserve fund can cover a loss. It can't automatically prevent someone from getting in again.
I'm glad users aren't being asked to absorb a $6.3B hole.
But I'll be paying more attention to the incident report than the reimbursement announcement.

If an exchange can replace almost all the stolen assets, is that enough to earn back your trust? Or would you need to see real changes to its security and withdrawal controls before using it again?Choose one option
