Strategic transition to enhance financial stability and transparency

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has fully converted its Secured Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) to Circle’s USD Coin (USDC), which now accounts for 3% of the stablecoin’s total circulating supply. The move, announced on April 18, reflects Binance’s commitment to leveraging “trusted, audited, and transparent stablecoins” for its multibillion-dollar emergency fund.

Today all SAFU assets are converted to: $USDC$1 billion to strengthen reliability and stability.

Purpose of SAFU

Founded in 2018, SAFU serves as an emergency insurance fund designed to protect Binance users in extreme situations such as exchange hacks. These funds provide an additional layer of security and trust to the exchange platform by ensuring users are compensated for unexpected losses.

Transition details and meaning

The conversion required significant financial action, including transferring 800 million USDC recorded on Ethereum at 2:35 UTC for a transaction fee of only $1.88. Additional conversions included 1.36 million Binance Coins (BNB) and 16,277 Bitcoins (BTC), worth approximately $754 million. This is the fund’s second switch in just over a year, having previously switched from Binance USD (BUSD) to Tether (USDT) and TrueUSD (TUSD) in response to regulatory pressure on BUSD issuer Paxos.

Binance’s Strategy and Market Situation

Binance’s decision to convert SAFU to USDC highlights the exchange’s strategy to strengthen the fund’s stability and transparency by leveraging USDC’s reputation as a well-regulated and widely accepted stablecoin. The shift also reflects broader market dynamics that have seen USDC’s supply increase 33% since December, strengthening its position as the second-largest stablecoin with around 20% market share behind Tether’s dominant 69% market share.
