Binance will use the #SAFU fund to cover this incident in full. No user funds will be affected.
I am hearing this word SAFU and I don't actually know its meaning. Is it just safe or is there a meaning behind that?
Having funds safe on this exchange, means that even though it become vulnerable to hacks, the funds of users still survives. This change my idea on that exchange.
SAFU is an acronym for Secure Asset Fund for Users which is basically an insurance for the binance users which was started on 3rd July 2018.
Binance pays 10% of it's trading fees to keep the SAFU active. For more info on SAFU refer the below link.
