Binance is currently experiencing access restrictions in Venezuela. The company confirmed these issues through a message on social media platform X, reassuring users that their funds remain secure. Binance stated that assets are protected under the SAFU fund, which was established in 2018 to safeguard users’ funds in extreme situations such as hacks or bankruptcies. 
The SAFU fund is designed to provide protection for user assets in case of severe disruptions. Despite the access difficulties, Binance has committed to working on restoring access as quickly as possible.

In Venezuela, the access issues also affect other websites and social media platforms, including X. <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/victory-for-binance-judge-rejects-secs-securities-claim-on-bnb-sales/">Binance’s situation</a> reflects a broader trend of increasing internet restrictions in the country. The Venezuelan organization VE sin Filtro first reported the Binance issue on August 9, suggesting that the restrictions may be related to the state telecommunications company CANTV.
