Binance to halt deposits and withdrawals Sept. 22 for wallet upgrade

Binance will pause deposits and withdrawals across its platform for about an hour on Sept. 22, starting at 06:00 UTC. The exchange told users this week that the stop is for an infrastructure wallet upgrade, framed in its notice as part of ongoing work to improve service experience.

Token trading will not be affected during the wallet maintenance, the notice said, and Binance added that deposits and withdrawals will reopen once the system is deemed stable. The exchange said it will not post a separate announcement when that happens.

If you keep funds on Binance, the window to watch is the morning of Sept. 22 UTC: from 06:00 until Binance calls the upgrade done, you can't move tokens on or off the exchange. Spot, futures and convert trades keep running, so anyone using Binance only to trade shouldn't feel the pause.

The notice doesn't list which assets or networks are affected, only saying the suspension covers the whole platform rather than specific tokens. A specific resume time isn't given either, only "when the system is stable", so the 06:00 UTC start is fixed but the end time is not.
