Binance will perform a scheduled upgrade on Wednesday to improve the overall system performance and stability, as per an official announcement on September 23.

“During this period, users may temporarily be unable to log into their account and/or take any action on their positions/orders. The interruptions may last a few minutes for each individual user, and users will be able to access products again shortly after,” the exchange added.
However, trading conducted through API, alongside users’ data and assets will not be affected. The exchange still warns users to avoid potential risks and losses during the system upgrade.
Changpeng Zhao’s Return To Dubai After Prison Release
According to the US Federal Bureau of Prisons website, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is scheduled for release on September 29. He was sentenced to four months in prison by a U.S. federal court in April this year on money laundering charges.
CZ is expected to return to Dubai, the UAE after prison release to reunite with his family. He will continue working on his recently launched educational initiative Giggle Academy.
