Binance Halts Solana (SOL) Withdrawals Temporarily

Meanwhile, Binance said on X that the platform was replenishing the hot wallet for SOL withdrawal through the BSC Network. The incident surfaced after a Binance user enquired about the platform’s restriction on SOL withdrawals. The development also follows Binance’s support for the Solv Protocol (SOLV), which triggered a price drop of 35% price.

An increased enthusiasm around SOL is likely the result of the launch of TRUMP meme coin which is now live on Solana. It can be bought using a debit card or a cryptocurrency.

Notably, the high volume of SOL withdrawals resulted from the growing excitement surrounding the TRUMP memecoin. Though the initial enthusiasm led to more than 10% surge in SOL, the token is currently trading in red, with a 5% loss over the last 24 hours.

SOL price is now at $261.35, which also reflects an uptick of 43% in the last 7 days and an increase of 30% in the last 1 month. The 24-hour trading volume has jumped by47.16%, with an decrease of 3.85% in the market cap.
