LIVEBinance has officially confirmed it will support the BNB Smart Chain network upgrade and hard fork. This technical update is set to take place on January 14, 2026 at 02:30 UTC.
To ensure everything stays safe during the transition, the exchange will stop all deposits and withdrawals on the network starting around 02:25 UTC. If you are planning to move your funds, it is best to complete those transactions before the maintenance window begins.
The good news for active traders is that spot trading will remain fully operational while the work is being done. You can continue to trade as normal, but keep in mind that the network pause will only affect moving assets in or out of the platform during this time.
Keep an eye on your wallet status once the upgrade concludes. Binance will restore services once the network is confirmed to be stable and running smoothly.
