(Reuters) -- Crypto exchange Binance said on Saturday it has been able to replace 90% of the amount stolen after a record $6.3 billion hack of its platform by using company money to buy new tokens.

The remaining 10% consists of tokens that are less liquid, meaning they may take longer to buy, it said in a statement posted on X.

"We've now replenished 90% of the stolen assets, and we're committed to covering the remaining 10%. Our users will not bear the financial impact of this incident," co-CEO Richard Teng said on X on Saturday.
