Developing. Some claims here are not yet confirmed, and they are listed apart from the confirmed facts. Ketju publishes a new version when the primary evidence changes.

## 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.
