Binance has introduced a new feature called "Withdraw Protection" β a user-controlled lock that lets you freeze your own on-chain withdrawals for 1 to 7 days. Once enabled, you cannot withdraw funds even if you want to.
The main goal is to protect users from wrench attacks (physical threats or kidnappings used to force crypto transfers).
This comes following a recent spike in crypto-related kidnapping attacks, especially in Europe, with France becoming a major hotspot.
