Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, announced today it will convert its $1 billion Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) from stablecoin reserves into Bitcoin within 30 days. Binance will monitor the fund’s market value and rebalance if it falls below $800 million, restoring it to $1 billion. The move reflects Binance’s view that Bitcoin serves as the core asset with long-term value in the crypto ecosystem.
If market conditions push the fund under the threshold, Binance will take prompt action to rebalance using available assets. This mechanism aims to preserve liquidity and safeguard user assets while embracing Bitcoin’s volatility. The move underscores Bitcoin’s role as a core asset in the crypto ecosystem and signals continued alignment between SAFU management and Bitcoin exposure.
Industry watchers may view the shift as a test case for risk management strategies among major exchanges. As markets evolve, SAFU allocations could become a focal point in discussions about reserve assets.
