What happened

Binance began restoring some withdrawals on November 1 after suspending them following an attack on its hot wallets. It said more tokens and networks would reopen in stages from around 04:00 UTC on November 3. Yi He also said more assets would be included beginning November 5, without naming them.

Global impact / market context

Some customers can move assets again, but withdrawals are returning in stages and the notices do not say which assets are included in every phase. Customers need to check that a route is open and choose the correct network before sending.

What to watch

  1. Check which tokens and networks Binance has reopened; the notices do not list every route.
  2. Check whether more assets become available beginning November 5; Yi He did not name them.
  3. Check the selected network before each withdrawal; Binance told customers to confirm it is correct.
