Binance said it will temporarily halt deposits and withdrawals for all tokens on the BNB Smart Chain, or BEP-20, during scheduled wallet maintenance beginning at 5:55 a.m. UTC on Aug. 20. The exchange expects the work to last about one hour and said the suspension affects only transfer functions, with spot trading in BNB Smart Chain-based tokens continuing as normal. The maintenance appears precautionary rather than a response to any reported network issue, but users who depend on BNB Smart Chain for external transfers or DeFi activity may face brief delays until services resume.
