Be warned, Binance is cheap to buy but could cost you your coins

As a last word of caution, be weary of keeping your crypto in Binances hot storage wallet, as, they have been known to be hacked and for suspending withdrawals to UK customers.

What’s more, as they operate in an unregulated industry there is limited to no accountability and guardrails. Binance recently halted Bitcoin withdrawals, citing technical difficulties. According to a tweet, the platform momentarily suspended bitcoin withdrawals early on Monday, June 13, 2022, due to a stalled transaction producing a backlog.

It may be cost effective to buy your crypto currency on Binance and transfer it to a cold storage wallet such as a Ledger. Consider transaction costs (network fee’s) to transfer coins out from the Binance and understand the risks of buying and holding your coins on the platform.
