• $300M reserved for retail users who suffered forced liquidations between Oct 10–11, 2025; payouts set between $4 and $6,000.

• $100M will support institutional and ecosystem traders via low-interest options and targeted relief.

• Binance and BNB ecosystem firms have committed over $700M in total compensation after the $19 billion liquidation event; distributions to begin within 24 hours.

How does the Binance $400 million Together Initiative work?

Binance $400 million recovery airdrop, branded the Together Initiative, divides the funds into a $300 million retail reimbursement pool and a $100 million institutional/ecosystem support fund. Retail reimbursements will be calculated per account by loss amount and loss ratio, with distributions expected to start within 24 hours of the announcement.

Who is eligible for the Together Initiative and how are payouts calculated?

Eligibility covers users who experienced forced liquidations on Binance between October 10 and October 11, 2025, and who incurred a minimum loss of $50. The announcement states the USDC payout for each eligible account will be determined by assessing the user’s liquidation loss amount, loss ratio, and additional factors. Retail payouts will range from $4 to $6,000. Institutional and ecosystem support from the remaining $100 million will include low-interest options to help affected entities resume trading.

Background: What prompted the compensation plans?

Last week’s market turmoil generated record-breaking liquidations approaching $19 billion, triggering sharp, rapid price movements across major and minor crypto assets. Binance reported temporary asset depegging and display errors that contributed to sudden price dislocations, prompting an initial $283 million reimbursement announcement, followed by the $400 million Together Initiative. BNB Chain and ecosystem partners also announced a separate $45 million “reload airdrop” for meme-coin traders. These measures are described in Binance’s October 14, 2025 announcement and affiliated BNB Chain communications.

Market impact and verified figures

On the day of the liquidations, Bitcoin lost over $15,000 intraday, briefly dipping below $106,000 before recovering to approximately $113,338 at the time of the announcement, a roughly 7% weekly decline. BNB proved relatively resilient, rising to a new all-time high at $1,369 on Monday and trading near $1,220 at the latest update, up more than 31% over the prior month. These price and liquidation figures are reported by on-chain data and official exchange statements released October 14, 2025 (Binance announcement; BNB Chain update).
