The leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance has made a series of important announcements that will affect its users. The company is introducing a new line of Dual Investments products that provide updated target prices and contract dates. In addition, Binance is supporting the upcoming network upgrades of Terra Classic (LUNC) and Kava (KAVA). Finally, Binance Margin will delist several trading pairs. Let’s explore each announcement in more detail…

Support for Terra Classic (LUNC) and Kava (KAVA) network upgrades
Binance also announced that it will support upcoming network upgrades for Terra Classic (LUNC) and Kava (KAVA). The Terra Classic network upgrade is scheduled to take place at block height 12,812,900, approximately at 17:03 on May 17, 2023. During this time, deposits and withdrawals for LUNC and USTC via the Terra Classic network will be temporarily suspended from 16:30. Similarly, the Kava network upgrade will occur at block height 4,832,500, or around May 17, 2023, at 6:00 pm. Deposits and withdrawals to KAVA will be suspended from approximately 17:30.
It is important to note that trading activities for LUNC, USTC and KAVA will not be affected during network upgrades. Binance will handle all technical matters on behalf of its users holding these assets in their Binance accounts. Once the upgraded networks are seen to be stable, Binance will reopen deposits and withdrawals for LUNC, USTC and KAVA. No further announcement will be made on this subject.
