Binance Offers Compensation for Platform-Related Trading Losses Amid Volatility
He Yi reiterates Binance’s commitment to addressing platform-related issues and handling user claims on a case-by-case basis, but excludes compensation for market-driven losses.
Fact Check
The statement is strongly supported by a direct quote from Binance in an NBC News article, which states, 'Our policy is fair in that we compensate users who experienced actual trading losses due to our system's issues.' While other evidence, such as lawsuits and user complaints, suggests that this compensation process may be contentious and not always satisfactory to users, it does not disprove the existence of the policy to offer compensation.
