Binance Wallet will stop supporting the Blast network at 10:00 UTC on Nov. 30, 2026, after which users will no longer be able to view, send or receive Blast assets through the wallet interface, the exchange said.
The move follows the October 2026 decision by Blast, an Ethereum layer-2 network, to wind down operations a little more than two years after launch. Blast attributed the shutdown to falling activity and revenue that could not cover running costs.
Binance said the change is confined to how Blast assets are managed and displayed inside its wallet. Holdings themselves remain accessible, and users can still claim them directly through Blast's official website once wallet support lapses. The exchange urged holders to move or manage their Blast balances before the deadline to avoid losing easy access. Other blockchains supported by Binance Wallet are unaffected.
For retail and institutional traders alike, the deadline leaves a narrow window to act. Once the cutoff passes, the wallet will no longer serve as an interface for the network, leaving the project's own site as the main route for retrieving assets.
Separately, Binance has restarted rolling out new trading products after a pause in listings triggered by a security incident in late October. The exchange said it will introduce USDC-margined perpetual contracts for Hyperliquid's HYPE and TRON's TRX on Nov. 16, 2026, at 08:30 UTC and 08:35 UTC respectively, each carrying leverage of up to 75x.
The two contracts are Binance Futures' first new additions since Oct. 29, when the platform listed the Predict token. The late-October hack temporarily disrupted listing activity and product expansion on the exchange.
Binance also unveiled futures tied to traditional finance names. Contracts on Nu Holdings Ltd. Class A ordinary shares and Freedom Holding Corp. common stock, priced in USDT, were admitted to trading on Binance RIE and to clearing and settlement by Binance RCH as of Nov. 12, 2026.
Note: Launch times for the Nu Holdings and Freedom Holding contracts were not specified in the announcement.
The Blast wind-down adds to a growing list of layer-2 projects that have struggled to sustain usage as competition for on-chain activity intensifies. For Binance, retiring wallet support for a shrinking network is largely housekeeping, but it puts the onus on holders to act before the cutoff.
The resumption of listings matters more for the exchange's franchise. Derivatives volume is a core revenue driver for Binance Futures, and the addition of tokenized exposure to US-listed financial firms signals an effort to bridge crypto and traditional markets. Whether traders embrace 75x leverage on HYPE and TRX will be an early test of demand after the October disruption.
Binance said it will continue adding contracts across both crypto and traditional asset classes for its global user base.
