Binance has announced an update to how its Proof of Reserves (PoR) data is presented across individual assets, as part of its ongoing commitment to transparency and ensuring that all user assets remain fully backed on a 1:1 basis.The exchange emphasized that the update is presentation-focused only and does not affect the safety, availability, or withdrawal functionality of user funds.What is changing in Binance’s Proof of ReservesThe update adjusts the scope of net account balances included in Proof of Reserves calculations to more accurately reflect all account balances on the platform.Previously, PoR net balances did not include certain platform-owned assets, which could result in inflated reserve ratios being displayed.

Binance Blog published a new article, introducing Binance's groundbreaking vision-language model designed to generate fact-checked narratives for meme tokens. This innovative tool creates backstories from names, symbols, logos, and social media posts in under two seconds across multiple blockchain platforms. Each narrative undergoes rigorous evaluation for factuality, fluency, style, and relevance, ensuring high-quality and trustworthy outputs. Integrated into the Meme Rush feature, these narratives provide users with instant insights into token origins and motivations, significantly reducing research friction.The rapid creation of meme tokens has led to an information gap, with new tokens appearing frequently without context about their origins or creators. This leaves traders guessing, trying to decipher a constant influx of new coins with minimal information. Binance Wallet's Meme Rush addresses this issue by offering AI-generated narratives for each token, allowing users to understand the "why" behind each meme token instantly. The system continuously scans both on-chain and off-chain sources to gather essential details for new meme tokens from over ten launch platforms. This automated process enables Binance to index new tokens swiftly.The AI narrative system, built using a compact vision-language model, generates concise and easy-to-read narratives. To maintain speed during peak traffic, these narratives are cached in a high-performance database for quick access. Users can view the narrative instantly by hovering over the narrative icon on a token profile, providing quick context without the need for additional searches. This feature not only enhances user engagement but also positions Binance as a pioneer in integrating AI narratives with Web3 discovery, potentially boosting trust and community energy in the memecoin market.To ensure the narratives capture not just what a token is but why it exists, Binance has fine-tuned its vision-language model to read both text and logos, trained it across multi-chain meme ecosystems, and built an efficient data pipeline to track emerging token trends. The AI system is chain-agnostic, offering instant context for newly launched meme tokens without users leaving Binance Wallet. It understands different naming conventions, memes, and cultural trends, ensuring consistent and clear stories regardless of the blockchain a token originates from.Looking ahead, Binance plans to enhance the Meme Rush narrative system by continuously updating the model to capture the latest memes, token launches, and evolving language trends. The goal is to make the AI not just reactive but proactively insightful, connecting trends, culture, and markets in real-time across the Web3 ecosystem. As AI-driven insights become increasingly crucial in the crypto space, Binance is at the forefront, providing users with tools to navigate the complex world of meme tokens effectively. However, users are reminded to conduct their own research and consider their risk appetite before making investment decisions.

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform has transitioned to a new ADGM-regulated structure, effective from 2026-01-05 08:00 (UTC). This change aims to enhance clarity, oversight, and risk management across its operations. Users are advised to review the prior announcement dated 2025-12-08 for reference. **New ADGM Regulatory Structure** From the specified date, Binance services are provided through three ADGM-licensed entities. Nest Exchange Limited, formerly known as Nest Services Limited, operates as a Recognized Investment Exchange, handling all exchange activities, including spot and derivatives trading. Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, previously Binance (AD) Limited, functions as a Recognised Clearing House, responsible for clearing, settlement, and safeguarding user digital assets. Nest Trading Limited, formerly BCI Limited, acts as a Broker-Dealer, managing off-exchange activities and principal-based services like OTC trading and Convert. This structure mirrors established financial market infrastructures, ensuring clear separation of responsibilities and strengthened risk controls. **Changes to Service Providers and Data Controllers** To align with the new structure, contractual arrangements with users have been updated. Services are now provided by Nest Exchange Limited, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, and Nest Trading Limited. The rights and obligations under the existing Terms of Use have been novated to the relevant ADGM entities. Additionally, each ADGM-regulated entity now acts as a separate data controller for the services it provides. **Updated Terms of Use and Privacy Notice** The Terms of Use, Privacy Notice, and related legal documentation have been updated and are now in effect. Users confirm their agreement to the updated Terms of Use by clicking the confirmation button upon login. Continued use of the services constitutes acceptance of these changes. **Clearing and Custody Arrangements** As of 2026-01-05 08:00 (UTC), users’ open positions for on-exchange derivative transactions are cleared by Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, which also acts as the custodian of user digital assets. Certain exceptions apply, such as assets frozen by authorities or those of Canadian-resident users in withdrawal-only mode, which remain under Nest Exchange Limited. **Impact on Users** These changes are regulatory and legal in nature and do not alter user interaction with the platform. Users will continue to access their accounts with existing credentials, and balances, order history, and trading functionality remain unaffected. Products and services continue to be available, albeit potentially provided by different regulated service providers under the new structure.
