AI-generated summary
Binance issued a closure notice on October 13, 2026, detailing the end of its mining pool and associated services.
Miners connected to Binance Pool need to redirect their equipment before 07:00 UTC on Nov. 10, 2026, when Binance will shut the service and stop crediting new mining work.
Binance set out the timetable in an Oct. 13 closure notice. The shutdown also covers Pool Savings, Cloud Mining and Transaction Accelerator, alongside Telegram hashrate alerts, email notifications and mining-pool API services.
Binance will disable its Stratum URLs and mining endpoints at the cutoff. Later hashrate submissions and mining shares will not be accepted, processed or credited.
Eligible shares submitted before the deadline will still enter the final reward calculation under Binance Pool rules.
A mining share is proof of work submitted while contributing computing power to a pool, according to Binance’s Mining Pool Product Terms.
Users with active Pool Savings positions should also review them and unsubscribe or redeem before the service ends. The product terms make redemptions subject to daily limits and available liquidity, with requests processed in the order received. They provide for transfers within one business day, or up to 90 days in exceptional circumstances.
Final payments and records have separate deadlines
Eligible outstanding rewards, balances, refunds or settlements, where applicable, will be processed after the mining cutoff. Product rules, account status, risk controls, compliance checks and applicable law still govern eligibility.
Binance asks users to ensure their accounts can receive any eligible remainder, including completing required identity checks where applicable, by 23:59 UTC on Nov. 10. That is a deadline for necessary account steps; it does not extend mining operations or promise a payout that evening.
Under the existing product terms, users must meet platform requirements and keep account details current to remain eligible for rewards. Selected assets may also require a valid designated third-party wallet address.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Binance will disable Stratum URLs and mining endpoints on November 10, 2026.

Visa and Mastercard announced commercial stablecoin funding routes on October 15, enabling eligible businesses to fund payments using stablecoins like USDC and OUSD. Visa's route, enabled by Inyo Global, prefunds Visa Direct cross-border payouts, while Mastercard's platform through BVNK connects stablecoin balances to local-currency bank payouts in over 200 countries by 2027.

Circle reported $1.4 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, with $819 million going to distribution partners and transaction costs and $473 million to operating expenses and network investment, retaining only $103 million in net profit as USDC processed over $36 trillion in transactions, driven by partnerships with Coinbase and Binance amid growing competition in stablecoin profit sharing.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire announced plans to expand USDC into roughly 40 emerging and developing countries across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, citing rising organic demand for stablecoins. The company is leveraging recent acquisitions, strategic investments, regulatory progress including the upcoming GENIUS Act, and growing adoption by financial institutions and AI agents to drive mainstream adoption of its dollar-pegged cryptocurrency.
