Binance has been busy these past couple of days—on one hand adding AI features, and on the other preparing to shut down its mining pool business. On October 13, an announcement made it clear that mining pool, cloud mining, and related services will cease on November 10 at 15:00 Beijing time. After that, no new hash rate submissions will be accepted or counted. Here’s an easy-to-miss detail: the mining pool page will only remain accessible for 14 days to check historical records—it’s not an extra 14 days to keep mining. With these two announcements together, I’m not jumping to conclusions about a full-scale transformation. If you’re currently using the mining pool, it’s more practical to switch configurations, manage related positions, and save your records than to speculate about strategy.
