The American crypto exchange Binance.US has informed its clients that it has resolved its US dollar withdrawal issues after working with its banking partners, but cautions that the relief may not be lasting.
The supposedly independent affiliate of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance informed its clients in a June 22 update that its system remains fully operational and withdrawal requests for US dollars are expected to return to their normal five business day window.
On June 9, the exchange suspended dollar deposits and notified its clients of a pause in fiat money withdrawal channels. in the midst of his battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At that moment, it also warned customers that its banking partners were preparing to discontinue fiat money withdrawal channels starting June 13.
In his most recent statement, Binance.US has encouraged all clients who have had a failed withdrawal attempt to resubmit their requests “as our systems remain fully operational,” but warned that the relief may not be permanent.
“While USD withdrawal remains fully operational on the platform today, we expect our banking partners to discontinue that service in the near future.”
Binance.US is also encouraging its users to “use, withdraw, or convert their USD to a stablecoin to continue crypto-to-cryptocurrency trading,” as it is transitioning to becoming a crypto-only exchange.
Reminder: As we transition to a crypto-only exchange, will remove select USD Advanced Trading pairs from our platform on 6/26 at 8 pm PDT / 11 pm EDT.
