Binance Opens Third Withdrawal Wave With 36 Ethereum Network Tokens

Holders of Ethereum (ETH) network assets on Binance can move a broad set of tokens off the exchange again. The company began a third wave of withdrawal reopenings at 12:00 Taiwan time (04:00 UTC) on November 5, naming six chains for the phase: Ethereum, BNB Chain, BASE, TRON, MATIC and SUI. It is the widest single release since a security incident at the end of October froze outbound transfers, and the ETH price moved little in the minutes after the notice landed. The official announcement states that assets on the list will not return all at once: each network and token pairing comes back in batches as security and readiness checks clear, and the rest join as conditions allow. Deposit services are unaffected and keep operating normally. When a withdrawal attempt fails at submission, users are advised to retry later, and a status page shows whether a specific network and asset combination has reopened. The exchange framed the release as the third stage of a recovery running in steps rather than one switch being flipped. The Ethereum (ETH) network carries the largest share of this wave by a wide margin, roughly 36 tokens, among them UNI, AAVE, PAXG, VIRTUAL, MORPHO, ZAMA, YFI, WLFI, COMP and LPT. Several are core DeFi names: AAVE and MORPHO sit at the center of yield farming activity on the chain, while COMP and WLFI are governance assets of their respective smart contract platforms. PAXG, a tokenized gold certificate, and LPT, the Livepeer broadcaster token, round out a list that spans governance tokens, lending assets and tokenized commodities alike, so the reopening returns exit liquidity to a layer of the market that had been stuck for nearly a week.

The path to this point has been staged. A first wave on November 1 restored exactly one token on each of 15 networks, working as a controlled test more than a real release of liquidity. A second phase followed on November 3, widening access across BNB Chain, Ethereum (ETH), Solana, XRP, TRON and the Ethereum layer-2 networks Arbitrum and Optimism. Today's phase is the first to name MATIC and SUI as standalone restore targets, and the first to bring a large block of long-tail supply back within reach. Counted as pairings, it covers about 69 network and asset combinations against one per network in the opening round. BNB Chain holds the second-largest list at about 24 tokens, spanning ASTER, PROM, UNI, 1MBABYDOGE, FIL, IOTA, ZIL, TWT, DEXE, INJ and AVAX. The other four chains are leaner: BASE reopens AERO, VIRTUAL, MORPHO and AVNT; TRON brings back JST, SUN and BTTC; MATIC lists only GNS; SUI lists only MMT. The exchange said the ordering follows user demand over the past week, with every network and asset pairing required to pass strict security checks before it returns. Context from the incident frames the pace: a day before this notice, the company reported it had backfilled roughly 98% of the assets stolen in the attack and had widened its proof-of-reserves snapshot to 44 tokens. In practice the sequencing has favored mainstream coins. BTC and ETH holders have had working exit routes for days, so the friction now concentrates in thinly traded tokens whose over-the-counter resupply is slower, and that is where the remaining batches, and the remaining waits, sit. Holders who want to verify restored balances directly on the ledger can start with our Etherscan review.

For Ethereum, the third wave matters because the largest restored batch sits on its network: about 36 assets regain exchange exit liquidity at once, several of them DeFi lending and governance tokens that had been effectively locked on the venue since late October. That eases a real constraint for treasuries and market makers holding the long tail, although smaller altcoin exits remain the bottleneck while later batches wait on checks. The reopening also lands on a network that has already absorbed the shock: our earlier reporting logged the first realized price recovery since the hack. Users moving assets out will again pay standard gas fees, and outbound transfers for the listed pairings are live as of 12:00 UTC+8, with the remaining assets to follow as checks clear.
