Binance will suspend deposits and withdrawals of Cardano (ADA) tokens on its platform starting July 18, 2026 at 20:44 UTC to align with a network upgrade and hard fork on the Cardano blockchain. The exchange cited the need to ensure optimal user experience during the protocol transition.
Temporary halts of deposit and withdrawal services are standard practice when blockchain networks undergo major upgrades that require validators and infrastructure operators to coordinate on-chain changes. The suspension window allows Binance's systems to synchronize with the updated network parameters before resuming normal operations.
The announcement notes that the service restriction does not apply to users in the European Economic Area. No timeline has been specified for when deposits and withdrawals will resume following the upgrade completion.
