[Oct 7, 23:00] Binance will suspend deposits and withdrawals for a chain, but trading will continue as usual
The Ronin (RONIN) network will undergo a hard fork upgrade. Binance will suspend token deposits and withdrawals for this network starting at 23:00 on Oct 7 (UTC+8). The hard fork is expected to take place at 00:00 on Oct 8. During the upgrade:
1️⃣ Spot trading is not affected; buying and selling will continue as normal.
2️⃣ Deposits and withdrawals will be suspended. Once the network is stable, they will resume automatically without any further announcements.
3️⃣ Binance will handle all technical details for users; users holding tokens do not need to do anything.
My take: Ronin is the game chain behind Axie. It only migrated from an independent sidechain to Ethereum L2 (OP Stack) in May—this is the first upgrade after the migration. The exchange’s move of “suspending deposits/withdrawals but not trading” is the standard action to support a chain upgrade, but the real takeaway in the announcement is the words “please top up in advance.” Once the deposit/withdrawal channels are closed, the route for cross-chain arbitrage and bridging strategies is cut off. Upgrade notices like this are generally issued 3–7 days in advance. If you currently have RON or Ronin ecosystem assets, top up what you need to top up now—don’t wait until the evening of the 7th to scramble.
