> It seems very unlikely they have $3-6B lying around ready to repay customer deposits
For Binance? I’d actually say very likely. They’d need to move a couple of papers around, but should be easy.

their stated plan, for what it’s worth, is that they have $6.34B of company funds set aside, most of it already in the same coins that were taken, plus the SAFU emergency fund at about $1B. around $3B of the stolen money is frozen at Tether, Circle and others, and CZ’s own post on X put the rest of the gap at about $2B.
withdrawals have been paused since Thursday night. binance says it will reopen them in stages from Sunday and publish proof of reserves by Monday, which is the thing that would actually answer your question.
Vouched. Not sure why this was flagged.
