Binance reopens $XRP withdrawals after $6.3 billion hot-wallet hack

Binance has partially restored XRP withdrawals following a hot-wallet breach that forced a multi-day freeze for users. The move allows account holders to transfer XRP out of the exchange in the first phase of a broader reopening process that will gradually restore service for other affected tokens. The withdrawal window for XRP was opened on November 1, 2026, between 06:00 and 09:00 UTC, providing users one of their first opportunities since the incident to move their balances to external wallets. Binance reported that this phased reopening comes after extensive security reviews and adjustments.
