Binance Pool Shuts Down Tomorrow: Litecoin Miners Should Switch Today
Tomorrow is the cutoff.
On October 13, 2026, Litecoin’s 15th birthday, Binance announced it would close Binance Pool and its mining services. The shutdown happens at 2:00 a.m. EST on November 10, so for miners in North America, that’s really tonight.
After that, Binance’s mining connections turn off, and any hashrate sent their way won’t be credited.
If your miners are still pointed at Binance Pool, today is the day to move.
The timing has worked out well for Litecoin miners. Right as Binance announced its exit, LuxxPool was getting ready to launch. We covered that launch on October 20 in As Binance Exits Mining, LUXXFOLIO Launches LuxxPool With Litecoin Foundation Support. Now the window to switch is almost closed.
LuxxPool is run by Luxxfolio, a publicly traded Canadian company with a Litecoin-first treasury strategy. It gives miners a North American option with a direct connection to Litecoin.
Here’s what LuxxPool offers:
0.75% pool fee
Payouts for all 11 coins (LTC + DOGE + 9 other merged-mined coins)
PPLNS and solo mining
North American pool operator
Backed by a publicly traded Canadian company
Part of Luxxfolio’s Litecoin-first treasury strategy
An alternative to F2Pool, ViaBTC, and AntPool
No network fees deducted from payouts
5% of pool fees go to the Litecoin Foundation
Binance says mining done before the cutoff will still count toward final rewards, and remaining balances will be paid out afterward. But anything mined after tomorrow morning won’t be credited.
Switching is simple. Head to LuxxPool, pick your region, add your payout addresses, and point your miners to the new pool.
Binance announced its exit on Litecoin’s birthday. LuxxPool launched right after. Now the deadline is here. Make the switch today.
