Binance Suspends Ethereum and Major L2 Network Deposits & Withdrawals Ahead of ETH Hard Fork

yesterday / 10:19

Binance has announced temporary suspension of deposits and withdrawals for Ethereum (ETH) and several key associated networks to support an upcoming Ethereum network upgrade and hard fork.

The suspension will begin at 12:45 PM ET, before the scheduled upgrade at 1:05 PM ET. Affected networks include Ethereum (ETH), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP), zkSync Era (ZKSYNC), Base (BASE), Manta Network (MANTA), Starknet (STRK), Polygon (POL), Metis (METIS), Scroll (SCR), Cyber (CYBER), Metal DAO (MTL), Celo (CELO), and Worldcoin (WLD). Binance clarified that spot trading will remain fully operational during the upgrade, and only deposit and withdrawal functions are paused.

Once the networks are confirmed stable and secure post-upgrade, full deposit and withdrawal functionality will be restored. The move is part of Ethereum's planned development efforts to enhance scalability and network efficiency, with Binance handling all technical aspects for its users during this period.
