Binance has begun restoring withdrawals after the hack, starting with Bitcoin. The team will reopen other networks after security checks and warns that early transfers may take longer. [Crypto exchange](https://kriptometa.com/en/best-crypto-exchanges) Binance said in a [November 1 announcement](https://x.com/binance/status/2116777408074600621) that it had reopened [withdrawals on the Bitcoin network first](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/bitcoin). The exchange is allowing BTC transfers through that network and plans to restore other assets and routes after completing its checks. Its [fourth recovery update](https://x.com/binance/status/2116744986096292263) said phase one would begin on November 1 between 06:00 and 09:00 UTC. The team subsequently announced that Bitcoin withdrawals were open. It has not set a deadline for reopening every network or completing all pending requests. In the post below, Binance says it opened the Bitcoin network first. [Binance’s announcement that Bitcoin withdrawals are open](https://x.com/binance/status/2116777408074600621) ## Bitcoin is open as other networks await rollout On the [official network status page](https://www.binance.com/en/network) checked at 07:07 UTC on November 1, the expanded BTC row showed “Normal” for deposits and withdrawals on the Bitcoin network. BTC withdrawals via BSC and Ethereum displayed “Wallet Maintenance.” Lightning Network deposits and withdrawals were both under maintenance, while the separate SegWit row showed a dash in its withdrawal field. Binance can reopen routes for the same cryptocurrency separately. Its “Partial Withdrawal Suspended” warning for BTC summarizes both the open Bitcoin route and the other routes under maintenance. The main rows for ETH, USDT, BNB, XRP, USDC and SOL showed withdrawals suspended at that observation. Availability can change, so users need to check their selected network as well as the asset. Binance plans to open the 15 networks below in phase one. It says it has prioritized demand over the past week and will reopen each asset-network pair after security and stability checks. The team will add other networks when ready but has not announced the exact order after Bitcoin. Binance’s first-phase plan announced November 1: networks and assets | Network | Assets | |---|---| | BTC | BTC | | ETH | ETH, USDT, USDC | | BSC | BNB, USDT, USDC | | TRX | TRX, USDT | | SOL | SOL, USDT, USDC | | XRP | XRP | | ZEC | ZEC | | DOGE | DOGE | | TON | USDT, GRAM | | MATIC (Polygon) | POL, USDT, USDC | | AVAXC | AVAX, USDT, USDC | | ARBITRUM | ETH, USDT, USDC, ARB | | BASE | ETH, USDC | | OP (Optimism) | ETH, USDT, USDC | | SUI | SUI | The table preserves the network names and asset tickers in Binance’s graphic, including “USDT, GRAM” in the TON row. Users need to [select both the asset and network](https://kriptometa.com/en/how-to-transfer-cryptocurrency). Binance asks them to check whether that route is open on its withdrawal screen or general status page. Binance warns that traffic during the initial rollout may cause temporary delays and longer processing times. It advises users who cannot withdraw a listed asset on a listed network to try again after a short while, without guaranteeing when a request will complete. Although Binance says deposits remain open, its status page lists some deposit routes, including Lightning, under maintenance. The [00:21 chapter of Binance’s March 21, 2025 withdrawal guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSK84oTrSk4&t=21s) concerns sending crypto to [a personal wallet](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/crypto-wallet). Its description lists asset and network selection in that chapter. The 2025 guide does not establish which networks reopened after the 2026 attack. ## Withdrawals will come from new exchange wallets In a [separate November 1 post](https://x.com/binance/status/2116785774540787920), Binance said it had generated [new wallet addresses](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/wallet-address) as part of its security response and added them to its [proof-of-reserves address list](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/proof-of-reserves). It said it would send all future withdrawals from those new addresses. Binance is changing the wallets it uses to send transfers. It has not asked customers to change their personal receiving addresses or announced new customer deposit addresses. The reserve list identifies wallets holding exchange assets; it does not direct customers to send money to them. When reviewed, the [proof-of-reserves page](https://www.binance.com/en/proof-of-reserves) still used a snapshot from October 31 at 00:00 UTC and showed the Merkle Root Hash as “In Progress.” The team has announced new sending wallets but has yet to provide the full cryptographic proof for those dated balances. It has not said that every withdrawal has settled on-chain or that its security investigation is finished. ## Binance says it has replenished about 95% of the loss In its fourth update, Binance said it had covered approximately 95% of the impacted amount with company resources, [up from 90% in the preceding statement](https://kriptometa.com/en/binance-6-billion-hack-losses-reserves). It says balances in BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC are fully backed. The remaining 5% consists of [less liquid](https://kriptometa.com/en/glossary/liquidity) tokens outside those ten assets. The exchange is continuing to acquire missing tokens through markets and over-the-counter transactions. The 95% figure describes assets Binance has replaced using its own resources. It is not reporting that it recovered the same amount from the attacker or sent it to customers. The exchange also says it is working with law enforcement and industry partners to trace and recover stolen assets. Binance paused withdrawals while its team worked to contain the loss, restore affected services and complete security checks. The exchange says it will keep monitoring its systems as services reopen and publish a detailed incident report once the investigation is finished. It gave no report date and reiterated that users would not bear the financial impact of the stolen funds.
