Binance.US says it was not affected by Binance security incident, user funds are safe and services are operating normally

People related to Binance.US said on October 29 that the platform’s user funds are completely separate and were not affected. Steve Gregory (@Stevie_Satoshi, who describes himself as the CEO of Binance.US) posted that Binance.US user funds are completely separate and were not affected, that Binance is a completely independent entity, and that the two sides do not share custody of assets.

Cointelegraph and other media then reported that Binance.US said it was not affected by the Binance security incident, that user funds are safe, and that services are operating normally. No separate full official statement from Binance.US’s official account has been found so far, but CEO-level statements have been cited by multiple media outlets.

Previously, Binance’s official account said it was investigating a potential security issue and said user funds are completely safe. Binance.US and Binance.com are separate legal entities, and public information previously also showed that their asset custody and operations are separated.

ABAB AI Insight

Through CEO-level statements, Binance.US clearly distinguishes itself from Binance.com as an independent entity and emphasizes that there is no shared custody of assets. This statement is intended to tell U.S. users that the suspected incident involving Binance hot wallets does not directly affect the Binance.US platform.

In global exchange security incidents, rapid statements separating regional or legally independent entities are relatively common, with the aim of limiting the spread of panic. At present, public information does not show that Binance.US’s own on-chain hot wallets were affected, and there has been no complete official announcement from it, but the CEO-level statement has been directly cited by multiple media outlets.

Key follow-up points include whether Binance.US will issue a formal announcement, whether there are any reports of service interruptions, and whether Binance.com’s final verification results will indirectly affect user confidence at the brand level. Until then, the relevant information should remain attributed as “according to people related to Binance.US.”

  1. Statements separating legally independent entities are a common move in major exchange security incidents to limit the spread of panic.

  2. CEO-level statements can be directly cited by media, but they do not automatically amount to a platform’s complete official announcement.
