Binance cofounder Yi He has issued a safety warning to the crypto community as fake rewards campaigns and phishing links circulate, urging users to remain vigilant against fraudulent promotions.

In an X post, Yi He clarified that Binance's community rewards campaign requires regulatory approval and will go live only after the regulator reviews and approves it. The review is expected to take place once offices reopen tomorrow.

She also stressed that there is currently no cash voucher campaign, urging users to be vigilant against all types of phishing and scam links. The clarification comes amid growing concerns over scammers exploiting the anticipation surrounding promotional campaigns to target cryptocurrency users.

Eowyn Chen, former CEO of Trust Wallet and Binance's interim CMO, shared a security warning along these lines.

In an X post that included a scam alert, Chen stated that there is no compensation for the withdrawal suspension, urging users to stay safe and follow only official Binance accounts' updates.

This comes as scammers circulate fake compensation rewards, in some cases $150. X user @williamclay responded to Chen's post, saying the "free $150 compensation" screenshots circulating are fake, adding that there is no compensation for the withdrawal pause and that users should treat any "check your reward hub" or claim link as a scam.

Binance reopens withdrawals

Binance began restoring customer withdrawals on Sunday, November 1, 2026 after hackers attempted to drain over $6 billion in the biggest cyber theft ever recorded.

Withdrawals were temporarily suspended as a precaution while Binance worked to contain the incident's losses, assess its impact, restore affected services, and complete security checks.
