Yi He Responds to “UID Collision Causing Asset Loss”: Binance User UIDs Are Unique and Independent, There Is No Collision, and the Funds Have Been Frozen
Binance co-founder Yi He responded on X on November 7, saying that each Binance user has only one independent, unique UID, and there is no UID collision. When the user transferred funds from Binance’s main site to Binance Thailand, they mistakenly entered the UID directly to make the transfer. Although there was a second confirmation step, they did not check carefully.
Yi He said that after the incident, she and four employees followed up throughout the process and assisted in freezing the relevant funds at the first opportunity. Because the receiving user is inactive and has not responded, they are still in contact and negotiating. She pointed out that the other party was not committing a crime; the user simply sent the coins to the wrong address, and if the other party insists on not returning them, customer service can only step in to mediate. The user reported the matter to the police in Thailand and requested that the main site transfer another country’s user assets, which does not conform to law enforcement procedures.
Yi He reminded users that Binance Turkey, Binance Thailand, Binance US and other local fiat trading platforms are independent platforms and do not share account systems. Please carefully check the address and UID when making everyday transfers or withdrawals.

Binance co-founder Yi He responded on November 7 that each Binance user has only one independent, unique UID, and there is no UID collision. When the user transferred funds from Binance’s main site to Binance Thailand, they mistakenly entered the UID directly to make the transfer, and although there was a second confirmation step, they did not check carefully.
In terms of handling and platform routing, Yi He said that after the incident, she and four employees followed up throughout the process and assisted in freezing the relevant funds at the first opportunity. Because the receiving user is inactive and has not responded, they are still in contact and negotiating. She pointed out that the other party was not committing a crime; the user simply sent the coins to the wrong address, and if the other party insists on not returning them, customer service can only step in to mediate. The user reported the matter to the police in Thailand and requested that the main site transfer another country’s user assets, which does not conform to law enforcement procedures.
Compared with the UID uniqueness of Binance’s main site, local platform account systems are independent. The similarity is that both are operated by Binance-related entities; the key difference is that local fiat trading platforms such as Binance Turkey, Binance Thailand and Binance US do not share account systems, and cross-platform transfers require an address or QR code rather than directly entering a UID. Yi He reminded users to carefully check the address and UID.
For users, cross-platform transfers require the correct address rather than a UID. For Binance, it has assisted in freezing the funds and continues to contact the receiving party. For platform operations, the local platforms and the main site have independent account systems, and users need to pay attention to the distinction.
