Almost all of us have heard of the recent update that Binance made in order to reduce withdrawal limits^[1] for accounts that are not verified.
I have an account several years ago and I've been using VPN to access it. I noticed that the withdrawal limits changed to .05BTC about two months ago. Does this mean that the last procedures have been applied to us or will there be more reductions by 2021-08-23?

I also noticed that this message was sent to me yesterday even though the restrictions were suddenly applied.

Finally, the withdrawal limits are not updated daily at 00:00 AM (UTC) but rather 24 hours from the last withdrawal.
Are there any similar stories?

At first, I thought you were mistaken but I found an article that talks about this, and apparently some accounts got their limits lowered back in April or May. I couldn't find the criteria or an official announcement from Binance though. But just like I said in my previous post, I don't think the limits will be lowered more. It will probably remain the same (0.05 BTC) instead of 0.06 BTC.

It appears that Binance is really getting pressured. They announced that the API keys will no longer be usable for non-KYC users and they also stopped supporting MYR (Malaysia) and KRW (South Korea) fiat deposits today after being ordered from the local regulators.

They don't have an announcement about the 0.05BTC limit but if you search it through Google you can find an article that his friend contacted Binance support ask why the withdrawal limit reduce from 2BTC to 0.05BTC and I heard it wasn't officially announced even in telegram. I never received an email from Binance that talks about this since I'm a verified user may be only non-KYC users who receive it?

I believe 0.06BTC would be the final decision from Binance and those who already reduced to 0.05BTC might change to 0.06BTC withdrawal limit.
The 0.06BTC current price is $2789.2974 which is very small compared to other exchanges for non-KYC users.
Why not switch to another exchange? Try to check Coinex they have a withdrawal limit to all crypto of around $10k

I am also a verified user, but I haven't received such a notification. Maybe it was sent out only to non verified users. Even the 0.06 BTC limit is too low in my opinion. I am imagining if BTC dropped to 5K. That's $300 worth of withdrawals every 24 hours  >:(

Kucoin still offers 5 BTC limits for unverified accounts, but I don't know how long they will hold before they also reduce them.

It is normal only non-KYC users would receive this as they are targeted but that thing that happened a few months ago was probably a change in their system that tags "suspicious" users, they didn't go after all the users who weren't verified but after a few of them, probably based on IP logs, volume, or the used addresses. It's no secret anymore that Binance tracks all of these so probably they've just added a few more requirements to the selection process.

As for the OP question, no I don't think that they will set an even lower limit for such cases, it will probably be the same, the 0.06 was just a stunt to make them look like they are doing something about AML laws, the 0.05 they randomly imposed on users is an internal business of theirs. But long term, I doubt they will allow even a satoshi without KYC in a few years and so will other exchanges that want to keep operating in every single country in the world, if you're still planning on doing anonymous buys CEX will not be an option.


Wait till it goes to the same level banks offer without KYC 0.0!  ;D

I haven't received such message yet. Perhaps it will only be sent upon the implementation of the reduction in your individual account. For now, my limit remains at 2BTC since I am an unverified user. I guess the implementation hasn't reached me yet. As per their official announcement, the change will be effective for "existing users in phases starting from 2021-08-04 00:00 AM (UTC) and completed by 2021-08-23 00:00 AM (UTC)."^[1]

But I don't know where your 0.05BTC limit is taken from. Have you made contact with them about it? The official announcement clearly specifies 0.06BTC, and that the "withdrawal limits refresh daily at 00:00 AM (UTC)" and not 24 hours from last withdrawal.^[Ibid.]

Anyway, I guess there won't be further reductions to come anytime soon. 0.06BTC is even too low already.

Binance faces homelessness if no country is willing to host them. If a country like Cayman Islands is not interested in your business, things are grim.  More at
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5353363.msg57648203#msg57648203

It's true that the Cayman Islands are well-known tax heaven with fewer restrictions but it's not the only one. There are other countries/ tax heavens who can host them (and why not do it?) if they found themselves in front of a dead end. I'm sure though that Binance management knows how to move before that time.
Besides, if they "comply", there will have "no problem"... :-\

After a little research, I started to believe that the problem is related to the IP address either because I use VPN or because of the country as I access binance using an IP from UK, is there anyone from the United Kingdom or using an IP from that country facing the same problem ?

I thought about changing my IP address but I think it would make things worse, even though I always delete cookies but such a trick won't work because I think they know my MAC address.

up to this point I moved 95% of my total balance and will decide after 2021-08-23.

It's the first time I hear about this platform, any recommendations?

i came here to complain about this. yet another centralized exchange that started placing more and more limits on their users to force KYC on them.
this sucks since now i have to start looking elsewhere and unfortunately i don't think there is currently any decent exchange left without KYC. so back to DEX i guess. at least for now.

what is everyone else going to do? and is this affecting USDT withdrawals too when they say "crypto"?

CloudFront blocking me to visit the links. A few days back I have created a thread Binance decreased withdrawal limits for basic verified users. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5351432.msg57557996#msg57557996) The withdrawal limit was 0.06BTC when the article was published (27 July 2021).  I haven't received any mail from Binance about withdrawal, most probably it's because my account is fully verified. I don't think your concern is valid because it will not reduce more. The time frame is complete implementation as far as I know. The changes were effective immediately for new users but for an existing user, it will be effective from 2021-08-04 00:00 to 2021-08-23, step by step they will complete this implementation and it will ends on 23 August 2021.

So if someone still has 2BTC as 24 hrs withdrawal limit, it should probably start moving his funds before changes affect him/ his region/ his country.


For me, there is no reason to wait. If you don't pass KYC and become fully verified, your limit will be 0.06BTC. My total balance already matches the new criteria and I'm thinking to even lower it to dust... :-\

Coinex doesn't have an announcement thread here but they are own by ViaBTC pool which is one of the well-known BTC pools here on the forum.

If you don't feel safe then check Okex I according to this link https://www.okex.com/academy/en/how-to-kyc-on-okex
Their withdrawal limit for the unverified accounts is 10BTC I don't know if it changes recently.

Another exchange is Kucoin they have a 5BTC withdrawal limit for unverified users
You can read it from here https://support.kucoin.plus/hc/en-us/articles/4401857433241-How-To-Complete-KYC-Verification-PC-Version-

It is better to avoid it:

- Binance Holdings Limited (Cayman Islands): All management resigned, company in liquidation (https://scambinance.com/investigations/186-binance-holdings-limited-cayman-islands-all-management-resigned-company-in-liquidation.html)

I'm pretty sure it does. AFAIK it applies to all of your withdrawals. In short, whatever you withdraw, the total must not exceed 0.06 BTC per 24 hours. It is not exclusive to Binance either, most exchanges that I know of do this. CMIIW.

This could happen at any time, everything here looks and smells like a slow death of Binance exchange, and CZ will retire sooner or later like he announced.
They are probably just switching to FTX exchange because they invested a lot in them and they are not under any attack of regulators (yet).

More troubles for Binance exchange coming from UK as London court ordered them to track hackers behind $2.6M Fetch.ai attack.
Now they need to identify exact people behind this hack and I found reply from their representative very alarming, as he said they routinely freeze suspicious customer accounts:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/london-court-orders-binance-to-trace-hackers-behind-2-6m-fetch-ai-attack

What is this exactly? These are serious allegations which are at least unfounded and at most a smear campaign against Binance. I am not here to defend the exchange. Although I am a user, I am not a diehard fan of the exchange either. Neither am I a fan of CZ himself. However, I guess to call Binance a scam, to create a site solely for the purpose of accusing it as a scam, to spread false information, and so on is below the belt. I surmise there must be an ulterior motive for this hatred against the exchange.

Open your eyes wider. Maybe then you'll understand.

AFAIK, some dude got liquidated in a high leverage long/short of a shitcoin and went bananas against Binance. I do think Binance is shady asf, but there is no more convenient exchange today (after FTX, in my opinion), and I really don't see them exit scamming anyone when they are earning billions of dollars every year.

In all cases, don't keep your coins there if there are no reasons to do so.

I am, or at least trying, but I still don't see Binance as a scam exchange. To be fair, you don't put Binance in a category where the likes of YoBit belongs. 


Margin trading, especially with high leverage, is always courting risk. Billions have been easily liquidated in mere hours due to margin calls. I guess it is not unique to Binance that huge amounts in leveraged positions are quickly wiped out.

Anyway, I also think Binance is shady. And while I am using its platform until now, primarily for lack of a better option, I think I still don't trust it the way I trusted Bittrex and Poloniex years ago.

But calling it a scam, a fraud; spreading obvious lies that "all management resigned" and that the company is in liquidation, even linking it to an non-existent Binance.com casino, and so on are too much of a below the belt attack.

Of course, I always heed the warning not to keep funds in exchange wallets.

If no country is found before Oct. 29 it can not exist. In most cases takes weeks to set up company.
Fact is been kicked out of Japan, Hong Kong, Malta and now Cayman Islands.
Which country is willing to take that much heat for little gain.

The closest thing to an announcement is when they updated their withdrawal limit article which notifies no one.


Binance email service is poor (except for promotions ofc  ;)), the email you received was probably sent to any unverified accounts regardless of whether they were .05BTC'd

Hard to trust a website named "scambinance" to offer real facts and data.
For example, the link where you claim all the management resigned links back to...the same page, are you building proofs by linking to your claims from a random mail that looks sooo fake, especially when the English used in it sounds like somebody who has serious troubles making sentences longer than 10 words?

Besides, you're always forgetting bits of information, you add this:


but you forget this:


Seriously, Binance has a lot of problems and a lot of skeletons in the closet as it is, why the need to make things up completely?

Yesterday I received an email from Binance, they told me that I have to verify the account or else the withdrawal limit will be reduced before 18/8/2021 and therefore they gave me one day even though they started implementing the procedures in the period between June and July.

I will wait until tomorrow to see if the 0.05 BTC limit will continue after that or decrease.
In general, I expect that they will be reduced again before the end of the year and require level1/2 verification, and perhaps they have other criteria such as total balance and so on.

its hard to provide our details knowing that there are so many Identity stealer so better to wait for the updates on what will happen to your account. Can you please give us an update? since we want to know if that email is true since I'm a regular binance user but I never receive any mail that's why I'm curious to know about the certain limits if we will not conduct the mandatory KYC to their platform.

Just got the same email as OP yesterday (18th, UTC) so yours could also be on the last few days before the supposed completion for existing unverified accounts which is at 2021-08-23 00:00 AM (UTC), see: Updates to Daily Withdrawal Limits (https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/9df8225c061b455da5c7cc293cd08a70). There was nothing fishy about the email so I doubt it's fake...

But don't fully rely on email alerts cause problems could arise leading to receiving no email at all or getting it late. As always, before putting any money, double check everything would work according to your purpose (at least on a surface level :D) e.g. checking withdrawal page for min/max amount, coin/exchange status, if you're able to trade etc...


If you were not .05BTC'd, it would most likely be at .06BTC as per the announcement.

And now I read yesterday that Holland has also cracked down on Binance,,, but I thought the euro withdrawals were all already down since last two months? :'(

Does anybody know what the max withdrawal is for verified?

This is only an increase in the withdrawal limit for basic users (non-KYC) and is not affected for level 1 users onwards. I think if you are verified, it will be equal to VIP1 user which is 100BTC per day (iirc).

They seem to be bad at delivering mail when it comes to important alerts but they rank accounts and it seems my account has a bad grade so the procedures were implemented early before they were actually announced to everyone.

Generally, it is better to avoid using this platform with large amounts because they have a lot of legal issues and therefore they will comply with some of them based on your IP address.

 ;D ;D ;D

Thanks. As I know there are 3 levels of verification for Binance, the most basic is just verification of contact locations and then the second is matching personal ID with your details while the third is full residence, location and banking verification.

I was the most basic level on a long time ago but never received any notice. I have avoided going to try even log in now until all of this blows away :-\

Today Binance blog publishes a new update regarding KYC, https://www.binance.com/en/blog/421499824684902585/ecosystem/binance-expands-global-kyc-requirements-to-further-user-protection

According to this blog post, All Binance users need to do the Intermediate Verification requirement. To prevent Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Binance doing this.

It is funny to see this type of post actually because on one hand it makes them look good to show the regulators that they care about AML and regulations and they want to do right,,,

But on the other hand it is a sort of admitting that in the past, they did not care;)

This is the end of non KYC exchanges.  :-[

Still, some exchanges offering NON-KYC services. Among them Nominex (https://nominex.io/) offering the highest withdrawal. They are offering up to 3BTC withdrawal without KYC. It's new but looking good at all. I created an account also bought some NMX coins. Nominex exchange becomes a member of the Binance broker program so it's more reliable right now.

Here is the Bitcointalk ANN thread of Nominex exchange, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197241.0

https://i.postimg.cc/sxPZgzLq/sssss.png (https://postimg.cc/gLJ0gCmH)

Okex seems to be a good alternative as well. I can withdraw up to 10 BTC per 24 hours without the need to verify my identity. I also like the fact that lightning network withdrawals are supported which is something I believe no one has done so far.

Bitfinex supports Lightning Network deposits and withdrawals as well. They also maintain two fairly large and well-connected nodes (bfx-lnd0 (https://1ml.com/node/033d8656219478701227199cbd6f670335c8d408a92ae88b962c49d4dc0e83e025), bfx-lnd1 (https://1ml.com/node/03cde60a6323f7122d5178255766e38114b4722ede08f7c9e0c5df9b912cc201d6/)) so payment failures should not be a real problem.

How about Kucoin, everyone is forgetting this top exchange. They still have 5 btc daily withdrawal limit for unverified account. Let us see if this will change in the future. But for small traders, I guess the the reduction of limits in binance is still fine. At least, with that exchange, they have very good liquidity and your funds are relatively safe. I am verified in Binance owed to access in p2p trading, so I have no problem with their reduction limits.

Thank you everyone for all of these exchanges. No offence Rrita,,, I never heard of Nominex but if they are member of Binance broker that is a good thing. I will make note of all of this.

Okex I also think is a good exchange even though people say they do a lot of wash trading in past. Kucoin much the same,,, I did not realize their wd limits were so high!

I forget to mention about Phemex (https://phemex.com/) exchange. Phemex (https://phemex.com/) offers spot trading, Contract trading, Simulated trading and Volume(24h) $3,154,886,038 (65,095 BTC).

They also offer 2 BTC withdrawals per day for non-KYC users. Just talked with Customer support about this and the reply was:
Standard and Premium trial users can only withdraw up to 2 BTC per day. Withdrawal processing times are at 08:00, 16:00, and 24:00 UTC every day. Premium users have no withdrawal limits and enjoy hourly withdrawal reviews. For security purposes, each account must have at least one valid prior deposit (of any amount) and must have Google two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled prior to a withdrawal.

Now there is a promotional offer ongoing, PEMEX DEPOSIT DAZZLE (https://phemex.com/lp-trading-deposit-bonus) Crypto Deposit Bonus up to $2,000 (TRADING BONUS).
Hope this information would be helpful for you.

Thanks again and yes the information is useful,,, except I have a hard time trusting new exchanges (or old ones I never heard of). It is already hard enough to trust CEXs especially but at least the Nominex you mentioned was a Binance broker, but what about Phemex? I guess now I am really surprised not to know the withdrawals were of such high limits.

I don't have any problem with current binance KYC implementation as I'm verified on that platform for more than a year and so far I didn't find any complexity nor danger towards doing that on their exchange that's why I prefer to use this exchange but your recommendation makes me think that there are also a platform that offer almost the same thing with binance so maybe I will look at it as I'm seeking an alternative where I can trade If I got bored staying at binance. By the way does Phemex and Nominex is new exchange since I don't heard about them even before?

Why defend that platform? They are scammers and some Bitcointalk members have informed some scam behaviors of @NominexExchange like cheating bounty hunters, locking up tokens and other things.
It does not matter if they have a relationship with Binance but this does not add to their credibility.
If Nominex.io has not solved the problem, this means that they will repeat this, whatever positive feedbacks.
I wish all to move away and stop using that platform.

Exchanges have always been the weak point in crypto. I lost count how many i have registerd and not exist any longer.
I guess at some stage all trading is done on noncustodial brockerless trading.

Ops, thanks for bringing this here. So they did cheat with the bounty hunter by doing a lockup bounty coin for the period of 1 year. It's not good for an exchange. I have no relation with this exchange, Just used the exchange a few times and everything was smooth. So why mention the name here. Hope people will DYOR before joining.

There are scam accusations about Nominex , so it would be nice not to try this now.

Phemex is a good alternative to Binance, If you check the current volume it's very good. They have huge volume, liquidity, order book, good customer support, Well designed web interface, and an android application. It's very wise not to do trade only one exchange, So we need some alternative exchange.

As a business I hope Binance does not lose customers because of this if they haven't already because chances are high most of their customers hadn't gone through with the know your customer (KYC) process, btw what criteria did they use to come to the 0.05 btc withdraw limit ...does this limit leave them competitive with other centralized exchanges with a leeway of how much can be withdrawn without KYC/AML.

Just thinking about it these regulators that watched from afar are really hurting crypto which has taken several years to build.

Same situation here since ive been trading off and make out p2p transactions in this exchange for years now and i dont really see any problems towards leaked of identity or something like that on where most people been bothering off.

For sure it did really make out some effect in overall userbase of Binance when it did turn out to full KYC system which is mainly hated on this market but since these platforms are regulated then it isnt a surprise
that these changes would be implied anytime soon not only into this exchange but on the current existing ones.

I havent heard of about Phemex and Nominex but its good to know that there are indeed currently existing which you can make it as an option as long it is a legit and reputable one.

Binance is ‘not capable’ of proper supervision
