Binance, one of the world’s premier cryptocurrency exchanges, paused its Bitcoin withdrawals this Monday because of a ‘stuck on-chain transaction’.
The crypto exchange platform resumed withdrawals after 11:30 am EST (9:00 pm, IST), which was some three and a half hours after the CEO of Binance, CZ, Changpeng Zhao, tweeted that the issue would be fixed in around 30 minutes. Shortly after, he followed up, saying that the fix would take “a bit longer” than the initial estimate.
