Binance has used about half of its SAFU bitcoin fund
BROBROK News · Based on reporting by CoinDesk ·
Data shows Binance has spent roughly half of its SAFU bitcoin reserve, worth about $580 million. That leaves the fund below the $800 million threshold in Binance’s own rules for a top-up, and the exchange has not said when it will replenish it.
Key points
- Binance’s SAFU fund is now below its internal refill threshold.
- Roughly half of the reserve, held in BTC, has been used.
- The exchange has not given a timeline for replenishing the fund.
- The update raises questions about user-protection reserve management.
Why it matters
The SAFU fund is meant to provide an extra layer of protection for users if something goes wrong. The lack of a refill timeline leaves uncertainty around how quickly Binance plans to restore that cushion.
