Binance announced a few hours ago that they have successfully replenished 90% of the hacked losses. They deployed a portion of the SAFU emergency fund, their Futures insurance fund, and corporate treasury money to actively buy replacement crypto on the open market. They have confirmed that major tokens including BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and BNB are now 100% fully backed again on the platform. They are finalizing the last stages of their security checks and expect to turn withdrawals back on at some point today. They will release a final announcement when the feature is officially live.

Yes because the fact that prices moved at most 5% in two days afte the hack - including BNB which is the exchange token - suggests that they will become of no value in a week. These arguments sound so stupid they aren't even worth discussing.

As the title says that is how my heavy and diverse Crypto investing pretty much ended. I had at one point over 200 different crypto currencies. A lot of them were on the Cosmos Ecosystem/Chain, but I also had SOl, ETH and BNB eco Cryptos as well. I was everywhere, just heavy in Cosmos. At the height of the crypto market , particularly the fall of 2021 my total crypto portfolio was well over a 150K which for me an average income person, is a lot of money. Of course I didn't sell everything at the top, but I sold a little. In the end I have made over 50K from about $2500 invested over the 6 years I was involved daily. Since the fall of 2025, I have "Played" with a few different chains, but no more than 4 or 5. After October 10th of last year, I decided to buy some Hyperliquid and I also participated in the Monad ICO. I used Solana and Jupiter DEX on Solana from about January of this year until June. I bought ecosystem tokens on Solana, Hyperliquid, Monad and Ethereum. Except for the right timing when I dumped all my 110,000 Monad @ 0.0325 my biggest and only win since last December was only HYPE, which I bought at $32 and sold all of at $88 in September. Of all of the Ecosystem tokens I bought, Pixie Dust or DUST on Monad was the worst.to one. I pad as high as $0.62 for DUST as I was heavily using Neverland. I finally sold it all @ 0.37. Right now it's 0.017. I only have about 585 Jupiter still staked worth a whole $150 at the moment. With the recent Multi Billion dollar Binance hack and all of the past huge blows to crypto as a whole, is there any reason that right now for me to be optimistic or bullish on any Crypto Currency? I am seriously asking here, because I think, but could be way off, for the foreseeable future (at least a year) crypto will perform poorly. The Clarity Act at this point is all but been forgotten about and we all know that traditional Big Banking does not want Crypto replacing the actual US dollar. I far as I know only El Salvador is using Bitcoin as their currency. I really hope all of the negatives associated with crypto and all these hacks, exploits and corrupt people involved in large projects go away and crypto becomes widely excepted by everyone one day. I am pro crypto, but in the current state it has coalesced into a giant mess of confusion and doubt.

I thought the same thing as OP. How is BNB pricing going up. I am sick of the shenanigans. If we gonna be rich and wealthy from crypto…let get going and stop all the foolishness.

Just got a mail from Binance. They say they have managed to fully cover most holdings (“All BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC are fully backed at 100%”), and they hope to resume withdrawals tomorrow already. We’ll see if they manage to keep their plan.

BNB isn't equity in Binance no matter how hard it pretends to be. The equity value of Binance will drop due to 6bn less in revenue this year plus some long term reputational damage.  But BNB is a utility token and as long as Binance is up and running with tight spreads it retains it's value I guess. Though I have no idea why it's worth so much tbh

Trust is a fair concern, but BNB’s price isn’t a direct scorecard for Binance’s security. Binance’s commitment to absorb the losses could help explain the reaction. That doesn’t excuse the failure or mean the market has assessed everything correctly. Separate to this the findings published so far point to attackers compromising Binance’s internal infrastructure and submitting unauthorised withdrawals. That is an exchange security failure, not evidence that Bitcoin or BNB Chain’s underlying blockchain was hacked. Anyone selling because they believe chains were compromised has misunderstood what happened. Someone reducing exposure because they’ve lost confidence in Binance is making a different judgement. With all things considered, I'd say the market handled things pretty well

I hate it. I don't know any BNB holder

Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has suffered a massive cyberattack involving approximately $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency assets. The attack occurred on October 29, 2026, and Binance has temporarily suspended withdrawals while investigating the breach. My investment strategy is to short BNB to project a return of 10 - 15 % thru **VanEck BNB ETF (VBNB).** Afterwards, awaiting $18.0 - $20.0 dollar floor. Then accumulating shares for long positions. What are your thoughts, recommendations and strategies regarding this invest strategy?

Few ways really.... 1. Trust. 2. It isn't resolved yet. Withdrawals are still paused. Once they restart, we'll see how many people move funds out, and the position on covering all losses could change if things develop/if not fixed properly and results in a larger loss. Until users are actually made whole, it's a commitment rather than an outcome. 3. No access to funds. While withdrawals are paused, people can't move, cash out or use their crypto when they want to. 4. Price swings. News like this can move prices, especially BNB. Panic selling is a disposal, so it could trigger a gain or loss you didn't plan for. 5. How you're reimbursed. Getting the same coins back is the simplest outcome. If compensation comes as cash or a different token, the tax position could be different. 6. Moving to your own wallet. That isn't a disposal in itself, but network fees paid in crypto can be. 7. Scams. Expect fake "Binance recovery" or "verify your account" messages. Losing crypto to a scam is a real loss, and generally can't be claimed as a capital loss either. On tax: right now, if your balance is intact, there's no tax impact, as nothing has been disposed of or officially accepted as lost. But that could change depending on what happens next, so it's worth staying on top of your records either way.

I've been active in crypto for over 5 years and have tried a huge number of projects. Some of them lost me as a user before I even made my first deposit The reason is simple: terrible deposit flows Let me give you an example: A friend once sent me a link to a memecoin on a well-known 4-letter trading terminal The token was on BNB Chain. The terminal supported multiple chains, but only accepted native tokens for deposits on each chain. So to trade that memecoin, I first needed to deposit BNB I gave up right there I'm currently working on a project that lets users consolidate multiple assets into one through batched transactions We also built a B2B deposit widget that allows users to deposit different tokens from different chains. You can literally deposit 100 different assets, and if they're all on the same chain, you only need one transaction Under the hood, everything gets swapped into a single asset using the best available routes through well-known DEXes Now I want to hear from actual users **Which projects have the most frustrating deposit flows?** I'm looking for projects where a better deposit experience could make a real difference. Would love to hear your experiences

Aren't funds locked? So like most BNB is unavailable to trade unless you have it off of Binance, right?

This!! Binance got hit because they are a bigger target. CDC is moving in the shadows. I am a CRO person too but BNB being hit is not good for any of us.

Your comment is completely irrelevant. OP said nothing about spending it. This post is related to the recent BNB hack by NK. What is your point of this comment?

Not only BNB. BTC and the whole crypto markets should have tanked massively. The reaction is pretty muted. Terrible news and not much of a reaction is usually bullish.

A few reasons a token can hold up through bad headlines. Demand for BNB is partly mechanical: it pays fees on BNB Chain, gets trading fee discounts on the exchange, and is used for launchpool and staking programs, so a lot of holders are users who are not looking to sell. Supply is also concentrated, which means fewer coins actually trade and big holders have every reason not to dump. And a hack only changes the picture if it hits solvency, so the market tends to wait for proof of reserves, withdrawal behaviour and any official statement before repricing. If withdrawals start getting slowed or paused, that is usually the moment sentiment breaks, not the headline itself. Your instinct about trust is right in the long run; it just tends to show up in price late.

Because CZ owns 65% of BNB

Even after this, BNB is still doing better than cro. Says a lot really.

For the mental stress they could give us some BNB or that new CZ token.

BNB dropped 8% after the Binance hack, but PESA held around 5c — with a real-world expansion milestone approaching

Lol, did you not see that $CRO fell harder than $BNB in the last 24 hrs?

Wow yeah CRO is $0.05 and BNB is still 4th biggest crypto out there... Sick burn bro

BNB is only used to wash trade. Nobody actually holds it. In previous cycles, bsc was where you'd go to gamble on shitcoins, which needed bnb as gas but those things are all dead now.

> If you think that statement is true then it is true for all crypto compared to BTC That's true. All open blcochains bled vs Bitcoin since their chain restarts. I hypothesize Greshem's law in action. BCH is among them Some non-open private money may countertrend if underlaying business is performing (BNB etc)
