Binance moves crypto out of Funding Accounts into Spot Accounts
Image: CryptoSlateBinance has begun moving non-stock crypto assets from Funding Accounts into Spot Accounts. The migration is phased. Funding Accounts no longer accept direct on-chain crypto deposits. Binance Pay receipts and Convert order settlement are moving to Spot. Funding Accounts will be renamed Stocks Accounts in January 2027 and will focus on stock and stock-options settlement. Binance says the migration does not change total user asset value and is not a forced sale or liquidation.
Key points
- Binance is phasing crypto balances out of Funding Accounts and into Spot Accounts.
- Binance Pay receipts and Convert order settlement are moving to Spot Accounts.
- Funding Accounts will be renamed Stocks Accounts in January 2027.
- The renamed accounts are intended for stock and stock-options settlement.

The exact January 2027 date for renaming Funding Accounts to Stocks Accounts is not specified.
