BNB<\/a>, the native token of Binance's<\/a> ecosystem, climbed to a record high of $1,355 following a turbulent weekend that saw $20 billion wiped from the broader crypto market.<\/p>\n

Data from CryptoSlate<\/em> showed that BNB surged 17% in 24 hours, outperforming other top-ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.<\/p>\n

The rally came even amid President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> Oct. 10 tariffs on China triggered panic selling across risk assets, including digital currencies.<\/a> Bitcoin has failed to offer similar strength, sitting $10,000 below its recent all-time high.<\/p>\n

So, BNB's strong price recovery reflected renewed confidence in Binance\u2019s ecosystem despite the exchange\u2019s recent operational issues.<\/p>\n

Binance pays $283 million in compensation<\/h2>\n

Over the weekend, Binance faced strong criticism <\/a>for its platform's handling of the extreme price swings that disrupted trading activity.<\/p>\n

Many of the exchange users complained<\/a> of flash crashes that drove several tokens to near-zero levels and frozen accounts that prevented them from closing or hedging their market positions.<\/p>\n

These disruptions intensified frustration among traders, who argued that Binance\u2019s dominant position in global trading volume meant it should have been more resilient to market turbulence.<\/p>\n

In response, Binance announced<\/a> it had distributed $283 million in compensation to users affected by severe price dislocations across several products, including USDE<\/a>, BNSOL, and wBETH.<\/p>\n

The exchange attributed the losses to intense volatility and temporary failures in its collateral and pricing modules.<\/p>\n

Binance said it reimbursed affected users and pledged to extend redress for delays in transfers and redemptions.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on-chain analysts speculated that the disruptions could have been triggered by a coordinated exploit targeting Binance\u2019s unified margin system.<\/p>\n

Martin Hiesboeck, Head of Research at Uphold, said<\/a> the malfunction exposed a structural weakness: liquidation prices drew mainly from Binance's own volatile spot feed instead of aggregated market data. As a result, collateral values fell faster, prompting forced liquidations that deepened the decline.<\/p>\n

Hiesboeck noted that the incident appeared timed between a scheduled software patch and its deployment, creating a vulnerability window that may have caused $500 million to $1 billion in cumulative losses.<\/p>\n

He warned that the situation echoed systemic risk events such as Terra\u2019s collapse and stressed that centralized risk models remain fragile during extreme volatility.<\/p>\n

Binance defends system<\/h2>\n

However, Binance rejected the notion of a targeted exploit, emphasizing that its core spot and futures engines operated normally during the turmoil.<\/p>\n

The company said its internal review showed forced liquidations made up only a minor share of trading volume, suggesting the broader market shock, not an internal error, drove the sell-off.<\/p>\n

The exchange also clarified that brief price dips in tokens like IOTX and ATOM resulted from long-standing limit orders. It added that some user dashboards' \u201clow price\u201d readings were display errors rather than executed trades.<\/p>\n

Binance co-founder He Yi also called<\/a> the circulating attack theories \u201cFUD,\u201d asserting that Binance\u2019s matching engines and settlement systems “remained stable throughout the event.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
