$ 2.95 billion was withdrawn from Binance exchange in a day

Users of Binance, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency trading platform, have made a record withdrawal of funds from the platform. According to researchers at DefiLlama, $ 2.95 billion in digital asset outflows from Binance wallets were recorded over the past day. According to the experts, customers withdrew USDC, bitcoin, and ethereum stablecoins.

Nansen experts emphasized that the exchange has experienced the highest daily outflow since June of this year. Currently, Binance has frozen withdrawals in the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin. As explained by the platform’s representatives, the temporary suspension of withdrawals is due to the working hours of banks in the United States.

These are 1:1 conversions, no margin or leverage involved. We will also try to establish more fluid swap channels in the future. In the meantime, feel free to withdraw any other stable coin, BUSD, USDT, etc. 🙏2/2
