Are Binance withdrawals working after the suspected hack? For most coins, yes. According to the exchange's public status interface, at 22:32 UTC on Thursday withdrawals were open for Bitcoin, Ether, USDT and USDC on Ethereum, and USDT also on Tron, BSC and Arbitrum. Paused were Solana, XRP on the XRP Ledger, and USDT and USDC on Solana, Optimism, Avalanche and NEAR, with USDT also paused on Polygon. Binance cites wallet maintenance. The general system status was normal.
Earlier in the evening a Binance hot wallet was drained of about $2.8 billion. Details are in our Binance hack report, the market impact in our crypto crash timeline.

AI-generated illustrationWhy are Solana and XRP withdrawals paused?
Binance shows the same sentence for every paused network: the wallet is undergoing maintenance and withdrawals will resume shortly. For USDT on Polygon it says the hot wallet is being replenished. The exchange has not said whether the pauses are linked to the suspected hack. The pattern is striking all the same: mostly networks whose hot wallets can run dry after a wave of withdrawals are paused, while the big routes via Ethereum, Bitcoin and Tron stay open.
Solana and XRP holders have a way out: both coins can still be withdrawn via BNB Smart Chain, XRP also via Ethereum, provided your destination wallet supports that network. What happened to Solana tonight is in our article Solana Crash: SOL falls below $100.

Pick a network with open withdrawals. For example USDT via Ethereum or Tron instead of Solana. Check first that your wallet supports the network, otherwise the coins are lost.Send a small test amount first. Once it arrives, send the rest. It costs one more fee but protects against typos in the address.No links from messages. Fake emails and messages promising refunds or a "security check" pile up after hacks. Open Binance only via its own app or a typed address.Use your own wallet. What sits on an exchange is controlled by the exchange. Suitable devices are listed in our hardware wallet comparison, licensed exchanges in our comparison of regulated exchanges.We keep measuring the network status and will update this article as Binance reopens or pauses withdrawals.
