CZ Says Binance Hack Leaves $2 Billion Gap, Points to SpaceX Shares

The headline number is the $2 billion shortfall, but the more telling detail is that a founder is publicly floating an illiquid private-equity stake as a backstop without explaining the mechanism. That matters for anyone holding balances on centralized exchanges, since it tests whether insurance promises are backed by liquid reserves or by assets that cannot be quickly converted. The open question is whether Binance discloses how SpaceX shares would actually be monetized, and whether SAFU's stated coverage holds up under scrutiny.
