Binance Backs Kaia Hard Fork with Strategic Upgrade Plan – Here’s What Traders Need to Know

Binance throws weight behind Kaia’s network evolution—seamless user experience promised despite crypto’s notorious upgrade chaos.

The Hard Fork Playbook: No downtime, no panic—just a calculated pivot as Kaia’s blockchain gets a facelift. Binance’s infrastructure will auto-support the new chain, sparing traders the usual ‘wait-and-see’ migraine.

Deposits & Withdrawals: Temporarily frozen during the transition (because even crypto needs a coffee break). Trading? Unaffected—because liquidity waits for no fork.

Cynical Finance Jab: Another ‘revolutionary’ upgrade—because if there’s one thing crypto loves more than decentralization, it’s rebranding old problems as ‘innovative solutions.’

Update and Hard Fork Scheduled to Begin in One Hour

The update and hard fork to Kaia’s blockchain are set to commence at the block height of 190,670,000, anticipated to occur on July 17, 2025, at 04:26 AM Turkish time. Binance plans to suspend deposit and withdrawal operations on the network one hour prior to the commencement of the update and hard fork. This measure is designed to safeguard the transition process and protect user funds and activities during the critical changeover.

Binance has committed to taking on all technical requirements on behalf of its users, ensuring no manual intervention is necessary. Once network stability is verified, deposit and withdrawal operations will be automatically resumed without the need for additional announcements. This approach serves to provide peace of mind to users who rely on Binance for the safe and efficient handling of their cryptocurrency transactions.

KAIA Coin Operations Remain Uninterrupted

During the suspension of deposit and withdrawal functions, KAIA’s trading pairs will remain active, preventing any disruption in spot market pricing. This allows users to continue trading without having to alter their trading plans. By fostering continuous market activity, Binance ensures that the liquidity and dynamism of the KAIA market are preserved throughout the update process.

Binance further emphasized that it will manage the entirety of the update process through its infrastructure, ensuring user balances remain secure. As soon as the network regains stability, Binance will promptly reopen deposit and withdrawal functionalities for the Kaia network. The exchange’s readiness to efficiently handle such transitions highlights its commitment to customer service and platform reliability.
