As the popularity of cryptocurrencies continues to rise, institutions and players in the industry are continually introducing new products and services to keep up with the ever-changing market trends. One of the leading institutions in the crypto world, Binance announced on April 13th, 2021, that they will be releasing an update to allow users to withdraw their ETH2.0 pledge. In this article, we will be diving deeper into what this update is all about and what it means for users of this platform.

What is Binance ETH2.0 Pledge Withdrawal Update?

For those who are not familiar with ETH2.0, it is an upgrade to the Ethereum network that will transition the network from the Proof of Work to the Proof of Stake consensus algorithm. In simpler terms, instead of miners validating transactions in the network, validators will do this, and they will be required to have a minimum number of ETH2.0 coins staked.
Binance, being one of the most prominent cryptocurrency exchanges, saw an opportunity in this upgrade and introduced its ETH2.0 Pledge program. Users could pledge their ETH coins, and in return, receive Binance ETH2.0 tokens (BETH). These tokens were then staked, and users could earn rewards as validators on the Ethereum network.
However, many users pledged their ETH coins without fully understanding the program, and since the coins were staked on behalf of users, they could not be withdrawn until the end of the staking period, which is around two years.
Thus, to address users’ concerns, Binance has released an update to its BETH program, allowing users to redeem their BETH holdings for ETH coins in a 1:1 ratio.

How does the Redemption Process Work?

Starting from April 19th, 2021, users will be able to redeem their BETH holdings for ETH coins through Binance’s ETH2.0 pledge page. Here’s how the redemption process works:
1. Users must log in to their Binance account or create a new one, if they don’t have one already.
2. Navigate to the ETH2.0 Pledge page.
3. Fill out the redemption request form, including the amount of BETH tokens they want to redeem.
4. Wait for the redemption request to be processed.
5. Once the redemption request is successful, users will see their ETH coins in their Binance account.
It’s important to note that the redemption process may take some time, and users must have completed the KYC verification process to be eligible to withdraw their funds.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Binance’s ETH2.0 Pledge Withdrawal Update has been highly anticipated by many users who want access to their funds without waiting for the two-year staking period to be over. With this update, users can now redeem their BETH holdings for ETH coins in a 1:1 ratio, providing them with more flexibility and control over their funds.
