Binance will temporarily suspend deposits and withdrawals on the Ethereum network on October 28 to carry out wallet maintenance, the exchange announced. The process is expected to take about one hour, after which operations will resume.
Binance said token trading on the network will not be affected during the maintenance window and that it will handle all user-related technical requirements. Deposits and withdrawals will reopen once the network is deemed stable, and the exchange said no further announcement will be posted.
The company has carried out several similar wallet maintenance events this year without reported issues. In August, it briefly paused transfers on the Ethereum network, and before that it temporarily suspended TRX deposits and withdrawals.
Spot and margin pairs to be removed
Separately, Binance said it will delist 12 spot trading pairs on October 30: AAVE/BTC, ATOM/BTC, CAKE/BTC, DASH/BTC, ETC/BTC, ICP/BTC, PENDLE/BTC, RENDER/BTC, TAO/BTC, THETA/BTC, XAUT/BTC and XTZ/BTC.
The exchange said the decision follows a rigorous review of listed pairs, which it regularly checks against standards including adequate liquidity and trading volume. Binance noted that delisting a spot pair does not affect the availability of the tokens on Binance Spot, and users can still trade the base and quote assets on other available pairs.
On the same date, Binance will remove ten margin trading pairs: RE/USD1, 币安人生/U, KAT/U, BTC/USDS, ETH/USDS, AVNT/U, FET/U, TRUMP/U, APT/U and WLFI/U.
The announced delistings did not trigger major price moves for the affected cryptocurrencies. Stronger market reactions typically occur when Binance discontinues all services for a given asset, as happened earlier this month when the exchange removed Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK), triggering severe crashes in both.
