Isn’t that the same thing MarketMakers do for stock market anyway?

Well of course Binance going short on crypto is obviously more dubious than MMs going short on securities as those are regulated which makes it quite different.

Anyone care to tell me what I did wrong?

The problem here is that their status report says there is no issue while the reality is clearly different.

It is like AWS not working for anyone in the world, their status page being full green, and the AWS support saying everything is fine.

Market Makers are not exchanges, though.

In the markets I've worked exchanges can't trade against you.

The difference being that those exchanges are regulated.
You don't know what the problem is the title is highly misleading.
The problem is that there is an issue with Binance withdrawing assets where multiple withdrawals of USDC in the Algorand blockchain fail, being Algorand one of the fastest and robust blockchains out there. Hence, the problem is on the Binance side.
You got the right direction with a little more time you might get to the point that you realize you don't know what the problem is on binances side. But you are a crypto bro so over over exaggeration and sensationalizing is probably the norm for you.
How do you know what I know? I am an incumbent.
You can always provide proof but as a crypto bro you default to "Trust me, bro." :)
Do you think that non-anonymous confidential information should be exposed on a public site?
I hope they crash and burn and die. Absolutely vile organisation.
So one guy is having technical difficulties and tweeted about it, and binance says things are working fine on their end…

I’m not saying this isn’t a liquidity issue, but is an angry customer support tweet really evidence of that?

It's not a guy... it's OP but his reply to binance says everything we need to know to flag this thread.
So one random person's tweet (with 5 likes) reporting an issue with their account means Binance is facing a liquidity crisis?
First, likes are not a measure for truth. Hollywood is full of likes ;-)

This is not how things work. Exchanges offer zillions of assets and the same asset (e.g. USDC) could be available in multiple L1s and L2s. The liquidity issue is specific to an asset in an specific technology.

The problem is when the exchange says that there is liquidity for that specific asset in an specific technology and the information is incorrect. There are few cases when some exchange shows their liquidity pool in an asset/technology.

Ok but this seems like an issue isolated to just one random person on Twitter?

If there was a real liquidity crisis why aren't more people complaining?

No, the issue happens because it is not one of the top cryptocurrencies, so few people withdraw that asset. It is not isolated to a random person it is connected to specific low liquidity assets.
