Binance Alpha Restores Withdrawals on Four Networks; DeFi Shutdowns Put Asset Access in Focus

Source published: November 9, 2026, at 17:30 China Standard Time (UTC+8). This roundup reflects the information reported at that time.

Withdrawal access, security incidents and service closures dominated the exchange and DeFi infrastructure updates in PANews’ November 9 roundup. Binance Alpha reported a phased restoration of withdrawals, while ACryptoS and Galxe outlined changes requiring users to retrieve assets or await further claim instructions.

Binance Alpha resumes withdrawals on four networks

Binance Alpha had restored withdrawals on BSC, Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum, according to the report. Earlier restorations covered several tokens on the Ethereum and Solana networks, as well as HYPE and APT.

Binance said additional assets and networks would return in stages, with further updates through official channels after security checks. The announcement therefore described a partial restoration, not the reopening of every supported withdrawal route.

Separately, PANews reported that Binance co-CEOs Richard Teng and He Yi were scheduled to join chief security officer Jimmy Su for an X Space at 20:00 Beijing time on November 9, hosted by Jessica. The roundup stated that Binance had suffered an approximately $6.3 billion asset theft on October 29 and published a preliminary investigation report on November 3.

Compliance freezes are a separate access constraint

He Yi also warned against transferring suspicious funds to Binance, citing examples including discounted USDT offered by acquaintances, funds linked to business in Myanmar or collections in Cambodia, and money passed through an account for someone else.

According to her statement, relevant addresses may already be flagged before a deposit reaches Binance, and law enforcement may freeze the funds afterward. She said these cases can be complex and lengthy, and Binance does not have authority to unfreeze the assets.

ACryptoS stops operating after a vault exploit

DeFi yield aggregator ACryptoS said it had disabled deposits following an attack, while withdrawals remained open. It urged users to withdraw assets because the project could no longer maintain operations.

The team attributed the exploit to missing input validation, which it said allowed an attacker to deposit very few tokens while minting most of a vault’s shares. The incident affected 77 vaults across five chains, with losses of approximately $665,000.

ACryptoS said the stolen funds had moved through multiple cross-chain protocols. It offered to let the attacker retain a 10% bounty if the funds were returned; the report did not establish that any recovery had occurred.

Galxe sets closure deadlines, with asset claims to follow

Galxe said it was integrating its team and brand into Gravity to accelerate development and adoption of Gravity L1. Galxe Quest, Galxe ID, Galxe Passport and related services would be phased out. According to the project, Gravity would continue operating and the G token would be unaffected.

The published schedule was:

  • From the announcement: Spaces could no longer create campaigns; new Galxe+ and Galxe Score subscriptions and Galxe Passport minting stopped.
  • December 5, 2026: Final day to participate in campaigns.
  • December 15, 2026: Reward claims close and the website becomes read-only.

Galxe said user assets—including Smart Savings balances, unwithdrawn staked G and G held in Gravity Alpha mainnet wallets—remained safe. It said separate claim procedures would be announced. That safety statement was the project’s assurance; the roundup did not provide the claim process.

LNbits suspends hosted instances after attacks

Lightning wallet and account system LNbits initially urged all users to stop their servers while the team prepared security patches following a wave of attacks.

In a subsequent update, LNbits said it had disabled all instances on its hosted SaaS platform, my.lnbits.com, as a precaution. It expected all services to return within 24 hours. That was a restoration forecast, not confirmation that service had already resumed.

Delta discloses unrestricted OTC allocation

DeFi liquidity management layer Delta said an early OTC transaction allocated 26 million DELTA, or 2.6% of supply, to a partner in exchange for operating funds and marketing support.

The team said 16.5 million tokens, or 1.65% of supply, had been sold, while 9.5 million, or 0.95%, remained in two recipient wallets. It acknowledged that the allocation carried no vesting, lockup or other restrictions and that it could not control the partner’s subsequent sales.

Delta said discussions with the partner had failed to produce an agreement. It supplied on-chain transaction records that it said demonstrated the team itself had not directly sold the tokens—a narrower claim than saying the partner’s allocation had remained unsold.
