Crypto withdrawals on Binance are back online after a temporary outage that was due to a "technical issue," according to a post on the exchange's X account.

"The issue is now fixed and all crypto withdrawals on Binance are now back to functioning as usual," the post on the platform formerly known as Twitter, said.

According to etherscan, one of the exchange's wallets last processed a withdrawal before the outage at 10:45 UTC; the update to say it was back online came at 11:55 UTC.

"Technical issue with a middleware service impacting withdrawals. Funds are SAFU. Our team is on it," CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao tweeted soon after the withdrawal pause.

The outage comes after around $100 billion was traded across all crypto venues on Tuesday, the highest daily volume since the FTX crash in November, 2022, according to CoinMarketCap.

The rise in activity comes alongside a hike in the price of bitcoin [BTC], which is trading at $34,300 after rallying to a 16-month high on Tuesday.

Binance last halted withdrawals in 2021, at the time citing a "heavy backlog." That outage lasted around 25 minutes.

UPDATE (Oct. 25, 11:41 UTC): Adds Zhao tweet, bitcoin price, previous withdrawals outage.

UPDATE (Oct. 25, 12:50 UTC): Updates headline and opening paragraph to say Binance withdrawals are back online. Adds context throughout.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
