Some users argued that Binance is getting it wrong, as it’s not about the success rate of Kamino Finance but that balances are disappearing after failed transactions.

According to the user, Binance customer service said, “Thank you for your patience while I learn about your concerns. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Regarding price volatility, unfortunately this is one of the risks you face when trading such products, it is a common situation in the cryptocurrency space and you must take these factors into account when developing your trading strategy. Thank you for your understanding.” Another user shared similar issues with Fartcoin while pointing out to Binance that the issues may be beyond Kamino Finance and more from Binance’s trading platform.
