Binance adds Withdraw Protection — users can now lock on-chain withdrawals for up to 7 days.

Binance has launched a Withdraw Protection feature that lets users set a mandatory lock period of between one and seven days on on-chain withdrawals. The self-imposed delay is designed to give account holders a window to catch and reverse unauthorised activity before funds leave the platform.

Notably, Binance frames the feature as protection against a broader threat surface than external hacks alone — covering scenarios like compromised credentials or social-engineering attacks where the account holder may not notice immediately. The opt-in control adds a meaningful layer of custody hygiene without requiring users to move assets off-exchange.
