A bank temporarily halting withdrawals may not be shut down, but it would be massively fined.

Anyway , i ve been burnt by banks enough in the past to know that binance is better than banks. I can't be preached about it.

Right, public consultations by governments to consider it. Versus the banks just doing it.

Banks halt funds every day, when they close for business at end of day. ATMs are available but can be out of order or out of cash. Binance is open 24/7 and maintenance that requires downtime has to happen at some point
