The Futures Insurance Funds remain above the coverage level required under Binance’s established risk-management framework, helping ensure the fund remains available to support users during extreme market conditions. We monitor fund size continuously against historical stress scenarios reflecting extreme but plausible market conditions, and top it up when required. Due to volatility, no exchange can completely avoid auto-deleveraging, but we always strive to keep occurrences to a minimum. Will Binance replenish the Futures Insurance Funds? The funds are maintained above their required size. When the balance falls below the level our framework requires, Binance tops them up from company funds, as we have done previously. What was released was excess above that level, which is why it could be reallocated without affecting coverage.
