As a major development, the Poloniex crypto exchange has announced that from November 24, it will suspend deposits and withdrawals functions for stablecoins on the BEP20 (BSC) network. These include USDT, USDC, TUSD and Binance’s own BUSD.
Poloniex’s Abrupt BSC Halt
According to the recent announcement, Poloniex has stopped the BEP20(BSC) network deposit function for the above-mentioned stablecoins. However, the deposit and withdrawal functions for other BSC-based tokens will remain operational.
Poloniex will no longer support the deposit or withdrawal of any stablecoins on the BEP20(BSC) network from November 24 onwards, until further notice. However, we will continue to offer equivalent multichain solutions for stablecoins across the ERC20 and TRC20 networks.
