Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced its full support for the upcoming network upgrade and hard fork on the Kaia (KAIA) blockchain, scheduled for July 17, 2025. This upgrade is set to occur at block height 190,670,000.
To ensure a seamless transition for its users, Binance will temporarily suspend deposits and withdrawals of KAIA tokens on the Kaia network. This suspension will commence at 03:26 CEST (9:26 AM PHT), approximately one hour before the expected hard fork.
During the upgrade process, trading of KAIA tokens will remain unaffected, allowing users to continue buying and selling assets as usual on the Binance platform.
Binance will handle all technical aspects of the upgrade internally, meaning KAIA holders on the exchange are not required to take any action. Once the network upgrade is successfully completed and deemed stable, deposit and withdrawal services for KAIA will automatically resume, with no further announcement from Binance.
Users are strongly advised to avoid initiating any KAIA token transfers during the suspension window to prevent potential disruptions or loss of funds.
