Binance is carrying out a scheduled upgrade to its U.S. stock-trading service today. During the maintenance window, users will not be able to place U.S. stock orders through Binance. The exchange says the work is being performed by its partner broker and is planned outside regular U.S. market hours. �

The update comes as Binance continues expanding beyond cryptocurrency into traditional-market products. Earlier this week, Binance also announced a $100 million investment in Circle, strengthening its relationship with the issuer of USDC. �

Market takeaway: the stock-trading interruption is a scheduled technical upgrade rather than a reported crypto-exchange outage. Traders should nevertheless check the maintenance window before placing stock orders today.
