Binance and BNB Chain have pledged a total of $728 million in support for traders following the sell-off, but the exchange maintains it is not responsible for users’ losses.

Binance is launching a $400 million relief program for traders affected by losses across its ecosystem during the Oct. 10–11, 2025 market sell‑off. The initiative combines $300 million in token vouchers and a $100 million low‑interest loan fund, intended to ease liquidity pressures and restore confidence while the exchange reiterates it does not accept legal liability for user losses.

According to a Tuesday post published by Binance, the voucher tranche will distribute token credits valued between $4 and $6,000 to qualifying accounts. Distribution mechanics are expected to be completed within 96 hours of the announcement, according to Binance’s communication.

To qualify, traders must have incurred forced liquidations on futures or margin positions between Oct. 10, 2025, 00:00 UTC and Oct. 11, 2025, 23:59 UTC. Eligible users must have lost at least $50 in crypto and those losses must represent at least 30% of their total net assets, using a snapshot taken on Oct. 9, 2025, at 23:59 UTC.

The program also establishes a $100 million low‑interest loan fund aimed at ecosystem participants and institutional users who faced short‑term liquidity constraints after the crash. Binance described the package as an industry support measure to rebuild confidence rather than an admission of fault.

Binance clarified in its statement that the exchange does not “accept liability for users’ losses,” framing the relief as an extraordinary industry measure. BNB Chain separately launched a $45 million “reload airdrop” to compensate users who lost funds trading memecoins during the same event, bringing combined recovery measures to $728 million.

How does Binance’s $400 million relief program work?

The Binance $400 million relief program consists of two components: $300 million allocated as token vouchers for eligible retail traders and a $100 million low‑interest loan facility for institutional and ecosystem users. Eligibility is based on forced liquidations during Oct. 10–11, 2025, with loss thresholds and a net‑asset snapshot applied to determine distribution.

Who qualifies for the Binance vouchers and loans?

Eligibility requires forced liquidation between Oct. 10–11, 2025, losses of at least $50, and those losses must equal at least 30% of a user’s net assets as of Oct. 9, 2025, 23:59 UTC. Voucher values will range from $4 to $6,000; loan access targets ecosystem participants with verified liquidity needs. Official criteria come from the Binance announcement and BNB Chain statements (public posts dated Oct. 13–14, 2025).

Frequently Asked Questions

How will Binance distribute the $300 million in vouchers to forced‑liquidation traders?

Binance will issue token vouchers to eligible accounts using internal account snapshots and liquidation logs. Distribution will be completed within 96 hours of announcement; voucher amounts vary by individual loss and meet the announced $4–$6,000 range. Eligibility is determined by forced liquidations recorded Oct. 10–11, 2025.

Does Binance accept responsibility for traders’ losses during the crash?

Binance’s public statement notes the exchange “does not accept liability for users’ losses.” The relief package is presented as an industry confidence measure, not a legal admission of fault. That distinction was reiterated in Binance communications published Oct. 14, 2025.

Binance reacts to crypto crash

Crypto markets slumped after geopolitical tariff threats and other macro events coincided with rapid liquidations; more than $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours — described in public market data as the single largest liquidation event in crypto history. Traders reported execution delays, mispriced oracle feeds, and temporary zero‑price displays for several altcoins.

Multiple tokens — including Enjin (ENJ), Cosmos (ATOM), and IoTeX (IOTX) — briefly showed prices of $0 on the exchange due to data feed disruptions. Binance published follow‑up statements asserting that its core futures systems remained operational and outlining the relief measures to mitigate industry impact.

Some users are not impressed

Reactions on X (formerly Twitter) were mixed. Some community accounts praised the move as confidence‑building, while critics argued the measures fall short. User comments included claims that internal oracle mispricing caused widespread liquidations, urging withdrawals from the platform. Others described voucher values as inadequate for users who experienced large wipeouts.
