What else is known about the fund? An insurance fund called Secure Asset Fund was founded in July 2018. At that time, Binance’s representatives said that they would be sending 10% of the fees charged on the platform to the fund. The fund currently has the following assets on its balance sheet: 7952 BTC, 1,036 million BNB, and 300 million BUSD. In total, the aggregate amount of insurance funds exceeds $1 billion.
