Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said token recovery efforts appeared to have begun and reminded users that their funds are safe.

Zhao wrote that users pay Binance trading fees in the coins they trade, meaning the exchange naturally accumulates tokens listed on its platform. He said the fee balances could be relevant as the exchange works through its recovery effort.
