In a following tweet, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao stated the trading halt was precautionary and that the problem should be fixed soon.

CZ has been tweeting to reassure investors and traders despite the fact that spot trading, along with deposits and withdrawals, has been suspended on Binance.

As for the market, CZ has suggested that these problems probably won't have much of an effect by saying:

“When the biggest exchange halts trading, prices won’t move much. If it moves on smaller exchanges, when Binance comes back, our deeper orderbook will bring the price back, causing those guys to lose money. Traders know this.”

Update: All trading will resume at 2 pm UTC.
