Binance users who are accustomed to moving their funds through other exchanges must now immediately double-check their transaction routes. Starting August 23, 2026, Binance will stop processing all crypto transactions involving 11 third-party platforms. Two major names confirmed to be on the access cutoff list are HTX - a crypto exchange owned by Justin Sun - and the EXMO platform.
The decision to close these routes takes effect in less than 10 days starting from August 14. This tight window forces users to move quickly to reroute the flow of their assets. Once the August 23 deadline passes, any fund flow to or from Binance that interacts with those 11 platforms will be automatically rejected by the system.
Compliance Record in the Eyes of Regulators
Binance’s move to cut off access is not without reason. This policy is implemented as part of the company’s internal compliance standards in selecting business partners. Binance is now limiting interactions with various entities deemed to pose high risks to their overall ecosystem.
For HTX, this is not the first time they have run into regulatory trouble. Before being removed from Binance’s transaction routes, the exchange owned by Justin Sun already had a poor record regarding compliance. HTX previously dealt with the UK financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), over allegations of distributing illegal crypto promotions. It is this series of issues that has caused major global exchanges to gradually withdraw and avoid the risk of networking with closely scrutinized platforms.
The Need to Reroute Funds
For day traders and everyday users, this disconnection immediately redraws the asset movement map. Until now, many parties have used HTX or EXMO as intermediary points to transfer their crypto assets to and from Binance. With the new rules taking effect at the end of August, this cross-exchange transit route is officially closed.
Users who have relied on these 11 platforms to cycle their capital must immediately find other alternative routes - whether by using third-party exchanges that are still permitted or withdrawing funds directly to personal wallets. Exchange operators are now increasingly prioritizing the security of their operating licenses over expanding inter-platform networks. As regulatory pressure intensifies, cutting bridges with risky entities becomes the only way to protect one’s own home.
