Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced earlier this Friday that it had halted futures trading. 

"All futures trading is temporarily unavailable. Our team is working to resolve this as soon as possible," the trading titan said. 

Binance's team is currently working on fixing the problem, and it remains unclear what particular issue forced the exchange to halt trading.

Update (7:21 a.m. UTC): Binance has clarified that the issue affecting futures trading has already been solved. "All futures trading is now fully operational," the exchange clarified.
