The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance on Friday announces support for the Ethereum Shanghai and Capella (Shapella) upgrade and will process staked Ethereum withdrawals. However, the staked ETH withdrawals from the crypto exchange will be delayed for a week after the Shanghai upgrade on the mainnet scheduled on April 12.
According to an official announcement on March 17, Binance will support the Shapella upgrade and commence the staking withdrawals of ETH from the ETH 2.0 Staking page a week after the upgrade is successful. It means that staked ETH withdrawals will be delayed for a week by Binance.
Participants of the ETH 2.0 Staking are eligible to redeem BETH to ETH on a 1:1 basis from the ETH 2.0 Staking page. However, users can choose to continue to stake their ETH and even stake more Ethereum to earn BETH rewards after the Shapella upgrade scheduled on April 12.
Moreover, users will be notified about Ethereum ETH staking withdrawals in a separate announcement after the successful completion of the Shanghai and Capella (Shapella) upgrade. Binance plans to set a daily ETH redemption quota for each user due to withdrawal limitations on the Ethereum network.
