According to the company, Binance is covering the stolen assets directly, with plans to address the remaining balance.
The remaining 10 percent of the stolen assets reportedly consist of "less liquid" tokens, which the platform stated may take longer to acquire. The organization also indicated in a social media post on X that user withdrawals remain temporarily paused following the security breach.

- Transparency: The platform pledged ongoing transparent reporting and measurable progress.
Users seeking to verify these claims can monitor official channels such as the company's verified account on X or check the main Binance blog for direct announcements.
