Initial analysis indicates matching engine encountered a bug on a trailing stop order (a weird one). Recovering. Est 30-120 min ish. Waiting for more precise ETA. Deposits & withdrawals are paused as a SOP (standard operating procedure). Funds are #SAFU. 🙏 https://t.co/mvtGQ3JlMA — CZ 🔶 Binance (@cz_binance) March 24, 2023
On March 13, Binance suspended British pound sterling deposits and withdrawals for new customers because the platform’s fiat partner, Paysafe, would no longer be able to provide these services. British pound sterling transactions are available until May 22.
