In most exchange incidents, users end up waiting on the platform to get their coins back.
We looked at 12 years of them, from Mt. Gox to this week, and what self-custody changes and what it doesn't.

A long night for the Binance team, and a worrying one for its users.
Days like this are hard for everyone in crypto.
We hope every user's funds come through this okay.
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

We've been building for it since 2018.
Not your keys, not your coins.
DNB meldt: Nederlandse huishoudens hebben €3,2 miljard aan crypto staan. €1,5 miljard daarvan is Bitcoin.
Wat ze niet meetellen: alles wat mensen zelf bewaren, buiten een platform om. Dat cijfer is alleen wat er bij Nederlandse aanbieders staat.
Staat jouw Bitcoin nog op een exchange? Dan is het nog niet van jou.
Al sinds 2017 zeg ik hetzelfde: not your keys, not your coins.
A private key can't be reset like a password.
The fix is a new wallet with a new seed phrase, then moving your funds.
See full breakdown:

Same seed phrase, two wallets, two balances?
Your coins usually haven't moved.
Wallets can use different derivation paths, the rule that turns a seed phrase into addresses.
Check the path setting in each wallet. Don't type your seed phrase into another app to compare.
