Binance Ceases Support for dYdX Token

Binance revealed on December 31, that it will stop supporting DYDX token deposits and withdrawals via the Ethereum (ERC20) network. The changes will take effect on February 12, 2025, at 02:00 (UTC).

After this deadline, any DYDX deposits made through the ERC20 network will not be credited to user accounts, posing a risk of potential asset loss. The exchange clarified that the transactions will still be supported through other networks available on its platform.

This move comes as the top crypto exchange continues refining its supported assets and networks to streamline its operations. While some users expressed concern about the impact on its liquidity and market dynamics, the platform urged its community to refer to the official announcement for detailed instructions.

The announcement follows a pattern of network optimizations by Binance, aiming to enhance user experience. However, the decision has stirred speculation about its potential effects on its market position.
