Binance has announced that it will discontinue support for the ARC-20 wallet in Binance Wallet, effective December 15, 2025, at 10:00 UTC.
According to Binance’s announcement, once ARC-20 wallet support is discontinued, users will no longer be able to view, send, or receive ARC-20 assets through Binance Wallet. The update clarifies that only the wallet interface is affected—ARC-20 tokens themselves remain secure on the Bitcoin blockchain. Binance advises users to complete any pending ARC-20 transactions before support ends to ensure continued access to their holdings.
Binance’s transfer guide encourages users to move their ARC-20 tokens before support is removed to avoid losing access to in-wallet management features. The guide explains that users can export or import their wallet to third-party platforms that support ARC-20, including the official Atomicals wallet. After the cutoff date, any ARC-20 transfers must be done through these external wallets, as Binance Wallet will no longer process ARC-20 transactions.
CoinDesk notes that ARC-20 tokens rely on inscription data stored on the Bitcoin blockchain, making them independent of any specific wallet provider. Because users retain full control through their private keys, they can migrate their ARC-20 assets to any compatible wallet without losing access. The publication adds that wallet platforms frequently update which protocols they support for technical or strategic reasons, making occasional asset migration a routine part of managing inscription-based tokens.
Reuters describes Binance as one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, offering trading services, custodial tools, wallet features, and asset-management products across global markets. The outlet reports that Binance regularly adjusts its product lineup to meet regulatory and technical requirements in the jurisdictions where it operates. Reuters also notes that the exchange’s scale and influence mean decisions such as changes to protocol support have significant ripple effects across the broader digital-asset industry.
