The company had temporarily suspended withdrawals after the cyberattack, which is considered the largest heist in crypto history.
On Sunday, Binance announced the reopening of the Bitcoin network for withdrawals, stating, “First batch network now opened in phase one of withdrawals is $BTC bitcoin network,” via their official X account.
In its efforts to restore user access, Binance has opted for a phased approach.
“We are prioritizing tokens based on user demand from the past week to ensure stability and complete security checks,” the company explained.
To cover the losses incurred during the hack, Binance has set aside more than $6.34 billion in company funds, reassuring users that their investments remain safe. "User funds remain secure.
Binance will absorb the financial impact of the stolen funds, not our users,” the firm confirmed in an earlier update.
The news of the hack sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market, resulting in a sharp decline in the prices of major cryptocurrencies on Friday.
Binance's proactive measures and transparency in handling the aftermath of this unprecedented attack have been crucial in regaining user trust.
The exchange's commitment to user safety is evident as they navigate the complexities of restoring services while ensuring security.
As Binance continues to address the fallout, users are hopeful for a swift and secure return to normal operations.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities that exist in the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency.
For ongoing updates, Binance encourages users to stay informed through their official channels.
