Binance.US solves USD withdrawal issues but warns it won't last long
U.S. crypto exchange Binance.US has informed customers it has resolved its U.S. dollar withdrawal issues after working with its banking partners but warns the relief may not last.
The reportedly independent subsidiary of crypto exchange Binance told customers in a June 22 update that its system remains fully operational and that USD withdrawal requests are expected to go back to their normal five-business-day turnaround.
On June 9, the exchange suspended dollar deposits and notified its customers of an incoming pause to fiat withdrawal channels amid its ongoing battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At the time, it also warned customers that its banking partners were preparing to pause fiat (USD) withdrawal channels as early as June 13, however, that didn't end up coming to pass as yet.
In its most recent statement, Binance.US has encouraged any customers that have a failed withdrawal attempt to resubmit their requests “as our systems remain fully operational,” but cautioned that the relief may not be permanent.
Binance.US is also encouraging its users “use, withdraw, or convert your USD to a stablecoin to continue crypto-to-crypto trading,” as it transitions to a crypto-only exchange.
