Binance Halts CTK for Shentu Network Upgrade & Hard Fork
On July 22, 2025 at 15:00 UTC (block height 24,865,200), Binance will temporarily suspend CTK deposits and withdrawals to support the Shentu network upgrade and hard fork. Trading remains unaffected and services will automatically resume once the Shentu network upgrade is complete and the chain stabilizes. The Shentu network upgrade aims to patch vulnerabilities, boost transaction throughput, and enhance security and scalability on the CTK chain, a security-focused blockchain for smart contract auditing. Traders should complete any CTK transactions before the maintenance window and monitor Binance’s official channels for updates. This seamless hard fork support underscores Binance’s commitment to network stability and user confidence.
Bullish
This coordinated maintenance and hard fork reinforce network security and performance for CTK, reducing potential risks. Because trading remains uninterrupted and services will auto-resume, short-term volatility is likely minimal. Over the long term, the Shentu network upgrade’s improved throughput and security should enhance CTK’s attractiveness, supporting bullish sentiment among traders.
