The share Binance would not disclose when it announced the pool closure is now on the record. CoinDesk, citing Hashrate Index, puts Binance Pool at about 2.3% of network hashrate in December 2025, roughly 26 EH/s, against about 9.2 EH/s now, under 1% and eleventh in the latest table. That is a drop of around 65% in ten months, which reframes the shutdown from a strategic exit to the closing of something that had already emptied out. The pool launched in April 2020 and stops accepting work at 07:00 UTC on November 10, with identity checks for pending final payouts due by 23:59 UTC the same day and pool pages removed permanently on November 24. The concentration number is the one to keep. Foundry USA, AntPool and F2Pool now hold about 64.2% of hashrate between them, up from 61.4% in December when ViaBTC held the third slot instead of F2Pool. Binance Pool's 9.2 EH/s has to land somewhere in the next four weeks, and on current form most of it lands with the three pools that already control nearly two thirds of the network.
