The rather strange explanation from Binance was a disk failure.
An unusual event given their global status, one would assume some level of redundancy in the system rather than having to take the whole exchange system off line.
But within hours of the Binance problems two other exchanges also went offline.
Was this a coordinated attack?
Who would benefit from exchanges being down?
Who is currently in panic mode in regards to crypto in general?
I suspect we will never know the actual answer, but a coordinated attack by the banking cartel with possible help from some very powerful computers could be in play.
'They' can't shut the internet down, most western govs need the internet, but 'they' could and may have tried to take down crypto exchanges, forgetting of course the whole basic principle of BTC and other cryptos is the decentralised nature of the Crypto train. Derail one carriage & the rest will stay on track.
The cartel are scared, that can only mean one thing, Moon time is near for the Crypto Express.
All Aboard! (& bring a friend or 3, & explain blockchains & eWallets to them - they will thank you later)
