Binance and other crypto exchanges have faced several circumstances like this in the past. While the technical details were not revealed, the suspension was likely due to backlogs caused by network congestion.
Network congestion is a common occurrence in centralized exchanges when they face large crypto outflows during periods of peak interest. During the major May crash, several exchanges, including Binance and Coinbase, suffered massive outflows at once, causing them to temporarily suspend their activities.
However, the temporary shutdown led many investors to lose their money due to the inability to access their coins.
