Bitcoin (BTC) Withdrawals to Be Temporarily Suspended on Binance, Here's Why

U.Today - The Bitcoin network might see a temporary suspension of withdrawals on for about half an hour on Nov. 3.

In an official , 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 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.

h2 Bitcoin price action/h2 reached new year-to-date highs of $35,997 in early Thursday trading. A rise in Bitcoin (BTC) since the week began boosted the price of BTC over the $35,000 barrier, which had previously stopped its upward trend over the last two weeks.

At press time, Bitcoin was trading at roughly $35,423, up 2.88% in the previous 24 hours.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the United States Federal Reserve held steady its benchmark fed funds rate on Wednesday, as expected.

During the post-FOMC news conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stated that a rise in U.S. Treasury yields has contributed to tightening financial conditions, but he left the door open for another rate hike if necessary.
