Binance "5% recovery of hacked assets delayed"...struggling to secure low-liquidity tokens

Binance said it has replenished roughly 95% of the assets stolen in a major hack, but recovery of the remaining 5% is delayed by difficulty sourcing illiquid tokens. The exchange reaffirmed it will absorb customer losses itself and is progressively reopening crypto withdrawal services network by network, according to a recovery update published on the 2nd and reported by CryptoSlate on the 3rd. The shortfall highlights how low-liquidity tokens can bottleneck even a well-capitalized exchange's ability to make victims whole after a breach. Binance did not specify in the report which tokens remain outstanding or a timeline for full restoration. What to watch next: the pace of network-by-network withdrawal resumptions and whether Binance discloses the identity and value of the illiquid tokens still being sourced.
