Binance announces a scheduled system upgrade for its Spot and Margin Trading services on August 6, 2024, lasting approximately 10 minutes.
Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a scheduled system upgrade for its Spot and Margin Trading services. The upgrade is set to commence on August 6, 2024, at 07:00 (UTC) and is expected to last approximately 10 minutes, according to Binance.
Impact on Users
During the upgrade, users will still be able to trade on Binance Spot and Margin platforms. However, App, Website, and Desktop users may not be able to view the trade history for orders executed during this period. API users, on the other hand, will still be able to receive trade history data for their orders.
Users can verify whether their orders have been filled by checking the asset balance changes in their Spot and Margin Wallets.
Additional Notes
Binance emphasized that the 10-minute upgrade time is an estimation and may vary. The company will provide updates on the progress of the upgrade through its social media channels. Notably, there will be no separate announcement once the upgrade is complete.
The announcement also cautioned users about potential discrepancies in translated versions of the original English article, advising users to refer to the original version for the most accurate information.
Market Context
This upgrade comes at a time when cryptocurrency exchanges are increasingly focusing on improving their infrastructure to handle higher trading volumes and provide better user experience. Binance's proactive approach to system maintenance underscores its commitment to ensuring the reliability and efficiency of its trading services.
In related news, regulatory changes impacting stablecoins in the European Economic Area (EEA) are set to come into effect from June 30, 2024. This regulatory shift, part of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, imposes certain restrictions on unauthorized stablecoins for EEA users.
Disclaimer
Binance also included a disclaimer reminding users of the high market risks and price volatility associated with digital assets, urging them to make informed investment decisions. The company stressed that past performance is not a reliable predictor of future performance and advised users to consult independent financial advisers if necessary.
