First of all, don't panic: your funds remain accessible despite the $6.1 billion hack that took place at the end of October. In its letter sent to its French customers, Binance simply reminds of the upcoming deadlines. Since June 30, 2026, deposits have been blocked, but withdrawals remain open. To encourage latecomers to act as quickly as possible, accounts still in credit will incur a fee of 0.025% of the balance per month (10 USDC minimum) starting November 29. On December 31, accounts are closed and assets not withdrawn could be considered inactive and then converted.

At issue: the absence of MiCA approval (the European framework for crypto platforms) at the end of the transitional period, June 30. Three dates to remember to get organized:

Waiting is not an option. And chance does things well, because if you are looking for an opportunity to move your tokens, OKX extends a helping hand.

Until November 13, the platform is offering you 8% bonus on deposited USDT that you convert to USDC. And the ceiling is more than generous: 50,000 USDT per person, or up to 4,000 USDC bonus (around €3,500), paid every two weeks for a year from November 21. The icing on the cake: conversion is free during the campaign.

How to benefit from it if you have funds at Binance? Convert them to USDT and send them to OKX! All you have to do is convert them into USDC to receive your 8% bonus. You can then convert your USDC as you wish without losing the bonus. The only rule to remember: withdrawals reduce the bonus. You remain free to trade.

Please note: you must absolutely click on “Participate” before making any deposit for it to be eligible (you can follow this link). And of course, you must have created an account on OKX beforehand.

If you don’t yet have an account on OKX, you’re in luck! By going through our affiliate link, you combine the 8% bonus with a welcome bonus of up to €400. It takes the form of six missions, all cumulative. If you trade €10,000, you also receive the rewards from previous tiers!

You have 90 days after registration to complete these missions, before they expire.

Small clarification (important!): the “X-Perps Voucher” are vouchers which allow you to take positions on the X-Perps. Their value is that of the position opened with 5x leverage, not that of the margin. Concretely, a €100 voucher provides a €20 margin. You can only win: if the position opened with a voucher closes in loss, nothing is paid (and you pay nothing). On the other hand, if the position is winning, you pocket the profits generated (not the margin). Zero risk for you!
