Binance’s May 19 outage resulted in a massive loss of funds

A new report by CNBC has revealed that cryptocurrency exchange Binance is facing charges from some traders that lost millions of dollars during an outage in May. According to the report, the traders lost millions of dollars when the cryptocurrency exchange experienced an outage that lasted for hours.

Canadian cryptocurrency trader Fawaz Ahmed said he lost around $6 million when he couldn’t exit a position thanks to the outage in Binance’s network at the time. “This loss was not fair. This is something which was out of my control,” Ahmad said. The compensation offered by Binance’s support team was very low, he added.

Ahmad is one of the hundreds of traders who are claiming Binance should pay for damages caused by its services. White & Case, a New York-based law firm, has been hired to represent the claimants.

Binance’s spokesperson said the exchange compensates traders but not in scenarios like this. “Our policy is fair in that we compensate users who experienced actual trading losses due to our system’s issues. We do not cover hypothetical ‘what could have been’ situations such as unrealized profits,” the spokesperson said.

Binance’s pressure is coming from all angles

Binance has been facing heavy criticism from various angles in recent weeks. Regulators in the United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia and the Netherlands have issued a warning to Binance and asked citizens to desist from using the crypto exchange since it is operating without a license in those countries.

The crypto exchange has been making changes to its operations, but the resignation of Binance US’s head is also another huge blow for the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
