Binance withdrawals were scheduled to resume in stages after the exchange paused them during a reported security breach involving about $6.3 billion in crypto assets. U.Today reported on November 1 that Binance planned to begin restoring services between 06:00 and 09:00 UTC, subject to security and infrastructure readiness checks. The report does not confirm that every withdrawal was available by the end of that window.
Key Takeaways
- Binance announced a gradual withdrawal restart on November 1, with availability to be restored progressively.
- The first phase includes 15 blockchain networks, among them Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Ledger, BNB Smart Chain and Solana.
- Binance says it has recovered about 95% of affected assets, up from 90% at its previous update, according to U.Today.
- BTC, ETH, XRP and BNB were higher over 24 hours in a market snapshot at 08:13 UTC. The data do not establish what caused those price moves.
What happened with Binance withdrawals
U.Today reported that Binance announced its resumption plan on November 1. The exchange said services would return progressively as it completed security and infrastructure readiness checks. Deposits remained available during the withdrawal suspension, according to the report.
The first phase includes 15 blockchain networks. U.Today names Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP Ledger, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Tron and Dogecoin among the networks. It separately lists Zcash, Avalanche, Sui, Polygon and Arbitrum among the cryptocurrencies available for withdrawal. Withdrawals of USDT and USDC were also to be enabled on multiple networks.
Binance said it selected assets based on user withdrawal demand over the previous week. It cautioned that not all listed cryptocurrencies and networks would necessarily become available at the same time. Inclusion on the list therefore does not establish that every asset or network was enabled simultaneously.
The reported restart window was 06:00 to 09:00 UTC on November 1. Because the process was progressive and conditional, the schedule alone does not confirm that every withdrawal was processed by the end of the window. The U.Today report on Binance’s withdrawal plan and recovery figures provides the exchange’s stated details.
Background and context for Binance withdrawals
The withdrawal halt followed what U.Today described as a major security breach involving Binance hot wallets, with about $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency stolen. The exchange paused withdrawals to contain the damage, investigate the breach and avoid additional losses, the outlet reported.
Binance said it had recovered around 95% of affected assets, compared with 90% at its previous update, according to U.Today. The exchange also said it had fully backed balances in Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BNB, USDT, USDC, Zcash, USD1 and Ripple USD (RLUSD). It described the remaining 5% as less liquid and harder to buy in large amounts.
These recovery and backing figures are Binance’s claims as reported by U.Today. The article does not provide a full public accounting of the incident or the recovery process, so the figures should not be read as an independent audit.
U.Today says deposits continued during the withdrawal suspension. It also reports that the remaining affected assets were less liquid and harder to acquire in large quantities. The article provides no further breakdown of those assets.
Market reaction to Binance withdrawals reopening
Market prices offer a limited snapshot, not proof of a response to Binance’s announcement. CoinGecko data for November 1 at 08:13 UTC showed 24-hour gains for Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and BNB, while Solana was slightly lower. These point-in-time figures do not measure the announcement’s direct effect.
| Asset | Price | 24-hour change |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | $77,871 | +0.8% |
| Ethereum (ETH) | $2,267.36 | +1.06% |
| XRP | $1.25 | +0.55% |
| BNB | $706.19 | +0.9% |
| Solana (SOL) | $95.40 | -0.25% |
The figures are from CoinGecko market data as of 08:13 UTC on November 1, 2026. Alternative.me classified the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 34, or Fear, on November 1. The data show daily price changes and the index classification, but do not establish that withdrawal news drove prices.
What to watch next
Binance said availability would be restored progressively, so the exchange’s updates would be needed to confirm which assets and networks became available and when. The announced schedule did not mean every listed option would be enabled at once.
Further information about the breach and the outstanding assets would add context. Binance puts recovery at about 95%, while U.Today reports that the remaining portion is less liquid and harder to source in large amounts. A fuller account of what was taken, recovered and remains outstanding would clarify the incident’s scope. The report gives no timeline for such an accounting.
A scheduled withdrawal reopening is an operational development, not proof that the security incident is fully resolved. Binance’s stated asset backing and a market snapshot do not eliminate the possibility of further disruption or loss.
