Binance Says It Has Recovered 90% of Stolen Assets

The recovery is notable less for the headline percentage than for the method: Binance is absorbing the loss with its own balance sheet and buying back tokens on the open market, which effectively turns an exchange's incident response into a liquidity problem. The residual 10% is the telling part — illiquid tokens are where restitution gets slow and where affected holders feel the difference between a promise and a payout. What's worth watching is whether the outstanding purchases clear without moving those thinner markets, and whether the public update cadence holds as the easy recoveries give way to the hard ones.
