#StaySAFU Origin:

• The term “SAFU” originated from a viral video where a YouTuber said “Funds are SAFU” in reference to Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) reassuring users that their funds were secure after a brief outage.

• Binance later embraced the term and created the SAFU Fund — the Secure Asset Fund for Users — a reserve meant to reimburse users in extreme situations like hacks.

Current Use:

• People use STAY SAFU to remind others to follow best practices in crypto:

• Use hardware wallets

• Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication)

• Avoid phishing links

• Keep private keys offline

• It’s also a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “stay safe” in a world where scams, rug pulls, and hacks are way too common.

If you’re diving into crypto news or posting in the space, tagging STAYSAFU is both a nod to the culture and a reminder to protect your assets.
