  3. Binance to Shut Down Mining Pool Services on November 10 — this brief

Binance has announced the discontinuation of its mining pool and related services, effective November 10, 2026, at 07:00 UTC. The decision affects not only the mining pool's block-reward service but also ancillary offerings like Pool Savings, Cloud Mining, and supporting features such as APIs and hashrate alerts.

Miners connected to Binance Pool must take immediate action to redirect their machines to alternative pools before the shutdown to avoid interruptions in their mining activities. The deadline is firm, and any shares or hashrate submitted after the cutoff will not be processed.

The Bitcoin network's current hashrate stands at 1019 EH/s, with a difficulty of 140.6T, indicating a robust and active mining ecosystem. Despite the impending closure of Binance Pool, the overall crypto market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.79 trillion and a Fear & Greed index of 53, reflecting a neutral sentiment.

The closure of Binance Pool is a significant development in the crypto mining landscape, potentially leading to a redistribution of mining power among other pools. Miners will need to carefully consider their options to ensure continued profitability and operational efficiency.
