Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated in an interview, "After the attack incident, Binance quickly stepped up to clarify that user funds were not affected and user assets are safe. Although this is just a very simple statement, it effectively prevented panic from spreading further and avoided a chain reaction.Everyone understands that this incident will not have further spillover effects. Unlike previous cases where some platforms or lending protocols went bankrupt, ultimately causing users to bear losses, this time users will not be forced to bear related losses. This is fundamentally different from some past events, which often triggered second and third rounds of chain reactions. I believe that, first, this statement calmed everyone down. Secondly, Binance's ability to make such a commitment based on its own credibility also made users willing to believe this statement. After all, many fund flows and transaction records on the blockchain are public and transparent.However, this situation is different; users understand that Binance has sufficient financial strength to bear related losses. Binance has the SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users), a futures insurance fund, as well as very strong capital strength and a solid balance sheet. It is this ability to respond quickly, take responsibility proactively, and ensure that all users are protected and all losses are compensated that has gradually restored calm to the market.One interesting point: on the day of the incident, the decline in the cryptocurrency market was actually smaller than that of the tech stock market, a situation that is almost unprecedented. Typically, when the stock market declines, the crypto market often experiences a larger drop, as investors looking to hold cash tend to sell off crypto assets. But this time, even with such a severe hacking attack on the crypto industry, the market decline was smaller. I believe this indicates that investors overall remained quite calm, and it reflects the solid trust in the platform that has been gradually built over the years. I feel very proud of this."
