The primary keyword for this update is ValueChain SOSO route pause. Bybit announced on August 17, 2026 that it supports the ValueChain (SOSO) network upgrade expected at approximately 8:30 a.m. UTC on August 17, 2026, with deposits and withdrawals via ValueChain temporarily suspended from 8:00 a.m. UTC. Trading on ValueChain assets is not affected, and Bybit will not issue a separate resumption announcement, so users must set an alert on the Deposit or Withdrawal page.
What Happened
Bybit announced on August 17, 2026 that it supports the ValueChain (SOSO) network upgrade expected at approximately 8:30 a.m. UTC on August 17, 2026, with deposits and withdrawals via ValueChain temporarily suspended from 8:00 a.m. UTC.

The event dates above come from the cited sources; this page was checked against those sources on August 19, 2026 UTC before publishing. The event date and the publish date are intentionally separated: the event date comes from the cited source, while this page is published in UTC during the August 19 news window.
Why It Matters
For CryptoSigy, this is a route-timing event: transfers built around a ValueChain deposit or withdrawal must account for the pause window and the resumption alert rather than an assumed restart time, which matters for custody movement, arbitrage and funding plans that touch SOSO.
The owner fit controls the framing. Exchange and venue events stay on CryptoSigy as listing, liquidity, fee, margin or contract-risk context; protocol and ecosystem events stay on Radar when the useful question is chain operations, governance or security infrastructure.
What To Watch Next
Watch the deposit and withdrawal resumption alert on Bybit, spread behavior during the pause, whether other venues pause ValueChain at the same time, and the post-upgrade network status before moving funds.
If the official source updates contract specs, fee terms, deadlines, block heights or protocol details, rebuild the decision from the updated source rather than from a stale headline.
The editorial filter is exchange route pause, deposit and withdrawal timing, resumption alert and transfer risk.. Treat this as decision context, not as a prediction, recommendation or promotional note.
Date discipline matters: published and updated timestamps are generated at publish time in UTC, while event dates in the body come from the cited source.
Risk reminder: betting and crypto decisions can cause financial loss. Use official sources, keep stakes or position sizes controlled, and avoid treating one update as a complete strategy.
Before acting on the update, compare the official notice with the live product, market or protocol surface. If contract specs, fee terms, route availability, lineup status or governance details differ, the live source should override the older assumption.
The practical output is a watchlist, not a verdict. Readers should know which timestamp, rule, venue field or protocol dependency must be checked next before the update has any operational value.
