Domen Trontelj, Manager of XCAD Network, said that Binance's $400 million 'Together' Initiative and previous user relief efforts demonstrate practical support for traders following recent market volatility. The statement was made on the social media platform X.

"Talk is cheap, action counts," said Trontelj. "It wasn't even their fault, but they're doing this because they truly care about us, the community that built them. This isn't liability – it's leadership. FUD is temporary, class is permanent."

In the aftermath of one of the largest sell-offs in the cryptocurrency sector, industry trackers reported that over $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within approximately 24 hours. This affected more than a million traders across various exchanges. Analysts attributed the market turbulence to macroeconomic tensions and rapid de-risking, which strained liquidity and price oracles across markets. This event has renewed focus on user protections and post-crash relief efforts aimed at stabilizing sentiment and restoring confidence among both retail and institutional participants.

According to Binance, they announced the $400 million "Together Initiative" to support users and institutions after the downturn. The program allocates $300 million in USD Coin (USDC) distributions—providing up to $6,000 per eligible retail user impacted by liquidations—and a $100 million low-interest loan fund for institutions to bolster liquidity. The initiative is positioned as direct, immediate support aimed at rebuilding trust while maintaining market functioning and access.

Separately, Binance confirmed it distributed $283 million to compensate users affected by brief depegs in assets such as USDe, BNSOL, and wBETH during the volatility. The exchange said that reimbursements were completed rapidly to address user impact and uphold confidence in platform integrity during stressed conditions.
