Binance Alpha restores withdrawals on four networks; ACryptoS and Ankr report exploits

Source publication: November 9, 2026, at 17:30 (UTC+8). This summary reflects the information reported at that time.

Binance Alpha restores four network withdrawal routes

Binance Alpha restored withdrawals on BSC, Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum, according to PANews’ November 9 roundup. Earlier restorations covered multiple tokens on the Ethereum and Solana networks, as well as HYPE and APT.

Binance said additional assets and networks would return in phases, with further updates through official channels after security checks were completed. The notice concerns withdrawals on supported networks; it does not describe a new bridge or cross-chain transfer mechanism.

ACryptoS shuts down after an exploit across five chains

DeFi yield aggregator ACryptoS said an attack affected 77 vaults across five chains, causing approximately $665,000 in losses. Deposits were disabled, while withdrawals remained open.

According to the team’s analysis, missing input validation allowed an attacker to deposit a very small quantity of tokens and mint the overwhelming majority of a vault’s shares. The team said stolen funds were subsequently moved through multiple cross-chain protocols. The roundup did not name those protocols or identify the destination chains.

ACryptoS offered to let the attacker retain a 10% bounty if the funds were returned. It also announced that it had stopped operating because it could no longer maintain the project and urged users to withdraw their assets promptly.

The reported sequence distinguishes the vault vulnerability from the later cross-chain movement of stolen funds: the source does not establish that those transfer protocols were themselves exploited.

Ankr bridge exploit reported on Ethereum

The roundup separately reported that Ankr’s cross-chain bridge was attacked on Ethereum, with losses of approximately $292,000. It provided no further details about the exploit mechanism, affected assets, destination chain or bridge verification assumptions.
