Binance Targets Nov 1 Withdrawal Restart, Full PoR Report Nov 2

The sequencing matters more than the dates: Binance is restoring deposits before withdrawals, and publishing preliminary figures ahead of a full proof-of-reserves report. That leaves a window in which user balances can grow while the exchange's liabilities stay unverified, which is precisely the gap a PoR is meant to close. The audit scope — terminals, cloud services, key management and transaction signing — points to the operational layer rather than a simple balance-sheet shortfall, so the Nov. 2 report is the real test. Whether the phased restart holds to the stated deadline is the open question.
