Binance responds to market volatility: Confirming system is operating normally and has completed $283 million in user compensation

Binance issued a statement addressing the significant market volatility triggered by global macroeconomic events between 04:50 and 06:00 Beijing Time on October 11th. Officials stated that the overall crypto market plummeted due to concentrated selling by both institutional and retail investors. Binance has conducted a comprehensive review and confirmed that its core futures and spot matching engines and API trading remained normal throughout. Only some modules experienced a brief technical glitch after 05:18 Beijing Time on October 11th, resulting in the depegging of certain assets. Binance provided compensation of approximately $283 million to affected users within 24 hours of the incident, primarily covering collateral losses caused by the depegging of USDE, BNSOL, and WBETH. Additionally, Binance will compensate users who incurred losses due to internal transfers and delayed redemptions of Earn products. Regarding the extremely low prices of certain spot trading pairs, Binance explained that this was primarily due to historical limit orders being triggered by one-sided liquidity and UI display accuracy issues, and was not a system error. Officials have pledged to further optimize the interface display and liquidity mechanism, and will continue to publicly update compensation progress. Binance reminds users that the current cryptocurrency market is volatile and traders should maintain risk control and allocate positions reasonably.
