Binance net withdrawals reach $4.72 billion; cash access returns
Binance customers withdrew a net $4.72 billion after withdrawals reopened, Reuters reports, citing the exchange. Binance puts that at about 2.8% of platform assets and says withdrawal volumes are stabilising. Dollar cash withdrawals returned on Monday, but most cryptocurrencies remained partly restricted. The report advances the reopening story with a larger outflow tally and another access milestone; analysts still warn that the security breach could curb institutional appetite for crypto.

Binance reports $3.64 billion net outflow after withdrawals reopen
Binance says withdrawals exceeded deposits by about $3.64 billion in the first nine and a half hours after reopening, The Block reports. The exchange says volumes eased after an initial spike. That flow measure is separate from the theft loss and does not establish that every withdrawal route is available. The report also cites broader outflows tracked by DefiLlama. Binance expects an updated reserves report on Monday; completion remains pending.

Mercado Bitcoin plans to restore read-only website access on November 9, FinanceFeeds reports, citing the exchange. Trading, transfers and withdrawals will return only in later phases after external security validation; no date is given. The exchange pledges to replace affected assets with its own funds and says more than $15 million has been blocked. That is not recovered cash. Bitquery’s later tracing puts outflows near $48.6 million and shows transfers continuing after the exchange’s initial containment statement.

Open the storyImpact 2Binance cuts SignalPlus API access after security warning
Binance removed all SignalPlus-linked API keys after the third-party trading platform reported a potential security issue, Decrypt reports. Binance says its own systems are unaffected and user funds remain safe. The removal disconnects SignalPlus strategies from Binance. Users are urged to review positions and open orders directly on Binance and wait for SignalPlus to confirm resolution before reconnecting. This is a separate precaution during Binance’s ongoing recovery from its earlier hack.

Open the storyImpact 3Binance reopens bitcoin withdrawals as phased restart begins
Bitcoin withdrawals have resumed on Binance, Reuters reports, while other assets will follow in phases. Binance says company-funded replacement purchases have covered 95% of the $6.3 billion stolen; the remaining 5% involves less-liquid tokens that may take longer to source. Restored bitcoin access is a step beyond the earlier restart plan, but it does not establish that all withdrawals are available.
