As for what exactly happened, both Binance and its CEO have intimated that the details of the situation will be shared later, “Please stay tuned for a more in-depth explanation of today’s maintenance in a later announcement.”
According to Coinmarketcap, Binance is the world’s top cryptocurrency exchange with a 24 hour trading volume of $1.5 billion. Currently, Syscoin (SYS) is the most traded coin on the exchange, against BTC. With a daily trading volume of $229 million, Syscoin has captured over 14 percent volume of the Binance’s active market.
It is a good thing that Binance has taken a quick step and resumed the trading on its platform. However, it is imperative that the exchange clarifies the situation and reinstates the faith and confidence of the crypto community which might have taken a hit.
