Binance co-CEO Richard Teng said the exchange’s latest Proof of Reserves snapshot now covers 44 tokens, up from 10, so users can independently verify that more of their assets are backed at least 1:1.Generating the full zero-knowledge proof takes 50 to 60 hours of computation. Teng said the wait serves an important purpose: “letting users verify the backing of their own balances, rather than simply taking our word for it.”Binance has now replenished about 98% of impacted assets, Teng said. The exchange is buying the remaining, less liquid tokens “carefully through market and OTC channels to avoid moving prices as we close the gap.”Binance’s next steps are fully reopening withdrawals and strengthening safeguards, he said, adding that he will keep sharing progress.

CEO Lachlan Murdoch attributed the decline to viewer fatigue and said such a shift was expected ahead of a midterm election with a second-term president.

Empower Brands has proposed acquiring consumer-products company Helen of Troy in an all-cash deal valuing it at about $1.6 billion. According to Sina Finance, Empower Brands said its latest offer, submitted on October 12, was $37 per share, up from its $34-per-share proposal in August. The company said it had repeatedly tried to discuss a potential deal privately with Helen of Troy's board, but that the board had not engaged in substantive discussions. David Maura, Spectrum Brands' CEO and Empower Brands' chairman, said Helen of Troy was trying to block the acquisition process by demanding an agreement with overly restrictive terms that would prevent Empower Brands from disclosing its offer to Helen of Troy shareholders. Helen of Troy had not responded to a request for comment. Empower Brands said combining the companies' brands in appliances, personal care and other categories would give Helen of Troy greater scale and financial strength, making it more competitive in the consumer-products industry. Empower Brands has the Remington shaving and hair-care tools brand and the Black+Decker appliance brand. Helen of Troy's portfolio includes home and outdoor brands such as Hydro Flask, and beauty and health brands including Revlon, Bed Head and Vicks. Empower Brands is a subsidiary of Spectrum Brands and is jointly owned by Spectrum Brands Holding Company and funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management.
