Service Restored: Binance Futures Trading Recovers From Outage

Binance Futures Back Online Following Brief Outage

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has restored futures trading after a short-lived system failure disrupted activity on its Unified Margin (UM) product.

“All futures trading is now fully operational,” the exchange confirmed in a post on X, noting that the technical issue had been resolved.

The outage left traders temporarily unable to manage or close positions, raising concerns across the derivatives market, where Binance maintains a dominant share.

Launched in 2022, the UM product allows users to pool margin across contracts and collateral types. Its temporary suspension therefore carried wider implications than a standard product outage.

As of Friday morning, Binance futures accounted for more than $40 billion in open interest. Previous interruptions at the exchange have typically been tied to system bottlenecks during periods of high volatility and have ranged from under an hour to several hours.
