Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zao had recently tweeted that the crypto exchange had put a temporary pause on Bitcoin withdrawals on Binance.
Binance explained that this was due to a stuck transaction which had caused a backlog. They also further stated that only the Bitcoin network had been impacted and that users could still withdraw their Bitcoin using other networks like BEP-20 or ERC20.
According to Zhao, “Funds are SAFU”. SAFU being slang in the crypto space and a play on the word safe. It could also denote Binance’s trading protection fund, the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU).
Temporary pause of $BTC withdrawals on #Binance due to a stuck transaction causing a backlog. Should be fixed in ~30 minutes. Will update.
Funds are SAFU.
