The Bitcoin network might see a temporary suspension of withdrawals on Binance for about half an hour on Nov. 3.
In an official blog post, Binance gives the reason for the upcoming temporary suspension of withdrawals on the said date: it will be performing routine wallet maintenance.
Binance says it will be performing wallet maintenance for the Bitcoin (BTC) network on Nov. 3 at 2:00 a.m. (UTC), which will take about 30 minutes. In light of this, withdrawals on the Bitcoin (BTC) network will be suspended starting on Nov. 3 at 2:00 a.m. (UTC).
However, deposits and the trading of digital assets on the Bitcoin (BTC) network will not be impacted during the maintenance.
Binance says it will reopen withdrawals after the maintenance is complete but may not notify users in a further announcement.
