Binance Resumes Trading Services
Binance announced that it has resumed its services after it had suspended them on July 3 after an alert was given to the exchange about irregular Syscoin (SYS) trading by multiple API users. Rather than take a chance, the cryptocurrency exchange suspended all trading, deposits and withdrawals. The exchange also took extra security measures to ensure that their customers’ funds were all safe.
Specific details of what exactly happened have still not been disclosed, however, reports indicate a sudden spike in SYS trading on Binance, accounting for more than 87% of the crypto’s total trading volume.
