Binance halted withdrawals owing to technical challenges. Users were panicking as FTX comparisons flooded social media. Services on the platform were temporarily interrupted before returning.

Around 5:00 am on Tuesday, Binance blocked withdrawals, which triggered large-scale panic within the crypto communities. The firm acknowledged that it was experiencing technical challenges.

On X, Binance responded that the team was aware of the issues and that they would fix them soon. They assured a speedy restoration of service.

Users Draw FTX Parallels

The outage was immediately compared to the collapse of FTX by crypto traders. Fischer made a black reply on X in reply.

It was not on my bingo card that Binance was pulling an FTX, Fischer tweeted. The remark indicated an increasing anxiety at the time of suspension.

The tweet caused speculation and alarm on social media. History seemed to repeat itself for many users.

Service Restored After Brief Disruption

The update posted on Binance stated that the problem was solved. The company announced in its second X post that the withdrawals had returned to normal processing.

Once all the described issues were resolved, the platform regained functionality. Withdrawals were regained in hours.

The temporary outage underscored the current market insecurity. Confidence on the part of investors has been shattered due to past failures to carry out exchanges.

Bitcoin Correction Deepens Amid Market Weakness

CryptoQuant analysis shows that Bitcoin has been in its fifth month of correction. The spot demand is still declining in major exchanges.

Massive liquidity destruction occurred in futures markets on 10th October. Open Interest had decreased by more than 70,000 BTC in one day.

That episode erased $8billion of market worth. The outflows of stablecoins contributed to liquidity pressure as well.

The period saw a loss to market cap in the tune of roughly $10billion by stablecoins. Exchange reserves reflect further capital flight by crypto markets.

The spot volume of Binance went down to 104 billion dollars. Bybit and Gate.io had contracted trading.

Existing volumes are equivalent to the lowest levels recorded in 2024. The data shows investor disengagement in crypto markets.

Traders are not likely to take new risks because of market uncertainty. To recover sustainably, there must be a replacement of spot volume on platforms.

The withdrawal freeze followed already dwindling market prospects, elevating the anxieties regarding the safety and financial soundness of the platform.

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
