Binance Suspends ETH Deposits and Withdrawals for One-Hour Maintenance

Binance has begun a planned one-hour suspension of Ethereum deposits and withdrawals on May 21, 2026, for wallet maintenance. The exchange first announced the temporary halt on May 20, initially listing a May 2025 start that has now been corrected to the current date. Trading of tokens remains fully operational while on-chain flows are paused, consistent with prior maintenance windows that lasted roughly 60 minutes without major disruptions. Recent exchange updates including a new BTC/USD perpetual listing and the delisting of Enzyme (MLN) accompany the operational pause, which is expected to have limited price impact unless complications arise.
