Coinoxide says more than 99% of customer crypto is held offline, while the reported $6.34 billion Binance hack left its systems and customer funds untouched.
Coinoxide says more than 99% of customer crypto is held offline, while the reported $6.34 billion Binance hack left its systems and customer funds untouched. This is an original Token Times brief synthesising 3 outlets (Blockonomi, Crypto Economy, Bitcoin.com), plus live market data, as of Wed, 04 Nov 2026 18:15:01 UTC.
The disclosures contrast Coinbase’s offline custody model with the scale of the reported Binance breach. They also show how freezing intercepted funds and replenishing affected tokens can form part of a post-incident recovery process.
- Coinbase says over 99% of customer crypto is stored offline
- The reported $6.34 billion Binance hack did not affect Coinbase
- Binance froze or intercepted about $2.85 billion
- Binance replenished 98% of affected token assets
Blockonomi and BeInCrypto agree that Coinbase outlined an offline custody approach for customer cryptocurrency following the reported Binance hack, with both describing the platform as holding roughly $377 billion in customer assets. They also agree that Coinbase says the approximately $6.3 billion breach did not compromise its systems or customer funds. Blockonomi provides the more precise figures—more than 99% in cold wallets, a $6.34 billion hack and $376.6 billion in platform assets—while BeInCrypto uses rounded figures of $377 billion and $6.3 billion. Blockonomi additionally reports that Binance froze or intercepted approximately $2.85 billion and replenished 98% of affected token assets, a recovery detail not included in the supplied BeInCrypto summary.
Coinbase has set out how it protects customer cryptocurrency following the reported $6.34 billion hack affecting Binance. According to Blockonomi, Coinbase stores more than 99% of customer digital assets in offline cold wallets. The company also said the incident did not affect its own systems or customer funds.
The disclosures come as Coinbase reports $376.6 billion in assets on its platform. BeInCrypto characterizes the figure more broadly as $377 billion in customer cryptocurrency protected through Coinbase’s approach. The two descriptions are closely aligned, although the supplied summaries present the inventory as platform assets and customer crypto, respectively.
Multiple outlets describe the same core outcome: the reported Binance breach did not spread into Coinbase’s systems or put customer funds held there at risk. Blockonomi supplies additional detail about Binance’s response, saying approximately $2.85 billion was frozen or intercepted and that 98% of affected token assets were replenished. The supplied BeInCrypto summary does not independently confirm those recovery figures.
The contrast is primarily about custody architecture. Coinbase says almost all customer cryptocurrency is kept offline rather than in internet-connected storage, while its platform continued operating without a reported impact from the incident. The coverage does not provide details about Coinbase’s remaining customer-asset arrangements or the mechanics of the reported Binance breach.
Market conditions were broadly positive during the period covered by the report. The total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.76 trillion, 
Bitcoin gained 3.52% over 24 hours and the overall market was broadly higher, while the Fear & Greed index remained at 34, indicating a fearful reading. The immediate issue to monitor is whether further reporting clarifies the precise scope of the Binance loss, the status of remaining affected tokens and the operational details behind Coinbase’s offline custody claims.
