Affects: Binance Staked ETH (WBETH) (protocol)
What happened
Binance reported approximately 98% asset replenishment on November 4, 2026, while it continued working to restore withdrawals fully.
What changed
Binance expanded reserve coverage from 10 tokens to 44 tokens, but it still needed to generate the verification proof.
What did not change
Binance's staking terms permit commingling, so WBETH holders retain exposure to Binance's custody arrangements.
Confirmed
- Binance attributed the remaining 2% replenishment delay to low token liquidity.
- Binance estimated 50 to 60 hours to generate the reserve verification proof.
- Binance's January 5, 2026 terms give staking customers no claim to specific ETH.
Still open
- Binance did not identify whether WBETH backing or redemptions suffered impairment.
- Binance did not confirm full withdrawal restoration or completed reserve verification.
What it means for an advisor
- Ketju should review the WBETH memo's custody and redemption sections because Binance permits commingling.
- Ketju should retain Not approved because WBETH holders lack a segregated claim.
