Binance to reimburse users $1M for Cyber Earn incident

Users were prevented from withdrawing their CYBER Earn assets on the exchange due to a cross-chain bridging issue. Crypto exchange Binance is refunding users 1 million Tether ($1 million) over its handling of the CyberConnect (CYBER) token incident . As narrated by the exchange on Sept. 7, a price discrepancy on listed CYBER tokens occurred the week prior due to a liquidity crunch constricting CYBER cross-chain bridges on Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit. This led to arbitrageurs borrowing CYBER from Binance to profit from the differential. In turn, Binance users who staked CYBER in its Flexible Earn Program were barred from redemptions as the staked assets had been borrowed, reaching the loan limit. The exchange stated: "Other than Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based products, a large part of crypto flexible financial products generate income by lending out subscribed assets to other users via Margin or collateralized loans.

Decentralized Crypto prediction market Polymarket is currently giving Binance a roughly 12% chance of becoming insolvent by the end of the year. And while this number may seem pretty low, the fact that the bet is being taken at all is noteworthy in itself. According to Polymarket ’s website, the bet, which went live on July 17, will resolve to ‘Yes’ “if it is announced by December 31, 2023, 11:59 PM ET that  Binance .com is insolvent or is filing/has filed for any variety of bankruptcy.” It will also resolve to ‘Yes’ if “ Binance.com withdrawals for BTC and/or ETH are suspended for a majority of users for at least 7 full days (168 hours) in a row by December 31, 2023, 11:59 PM ET.” If neither of the above criteria are met, this market will resolve to ‘no’. While Binance US and its performance aren’t taken into account for this wager, it’s worth taking into account that just las...
