Binance Suspends Solana Blockchain Deposits With USDT, USDC
In a latest, top crypto exchange Binance said in an announcement it was temporarily suspending deposits of USDC (SOL) and USDT (SOL). With this, Binance joined the list of major crypto exchanges that placed suspension on Solana transactions. Besides crypto.com, OKX and Bybit also announced the USDC (SOL) and USDT (SOL) deposit suspension.
“Deposits of USDC (SOL) and USDT (SOL) have been temporarily suspended until further notice.”
Meanwhile, Binance CEO CZ on Thursday revealed some interesting insights from the FTX takeover deal talks. He said that the misappropriation of user funds on the exchange was quite clear from the FTX data. He also said it was quite clear Sam Bankman-Fried used FTX trading funds for Alameda Research. “He has been probably doing this for quite a while until recently and people knew.” CZ clarified that Binance does not use BNB as collateral, when asked about the FTX token situation.
Solana (SOL) has been hugely impacted by the FTX meltdown over the last two weeks owing to the exchange’s links to the blockchain network. The cryptocurrency witnessed severe selling pressure after contagion spread about FTX collapse. The main reason was the speculation about Alameda considering sale of its SOL holdings.
