Exchange Reviews and Delisting Criteria
Binance announced that it continues to conduct periodic reviews of spot trading pairs in order to protect users and maintain quality in the trading market.
The cryptocurrency exchange has decided to remove certain spot trading pairs from its platform after recent evaluations revealed they did not meet criteria such as insufficient liquidity and low trading volume.
Suspension Date and Affected Trading Pairs
According to an official announcement by Binance, trading on certain spot trading pairs will be completely suspended as of January 16, 2026, at 06:00. The pairs to be removed include Bitcoin (BTC), Binance Coin (BNB), and numerous altcoins traded with FDUSD.
The trading pairs to be delisted are listed as follows: 2Z/FDUSD, AAVE/FDUSD, A/BTC, APE/FDUSD, API3/BTC, ARB/FDUSD, EUL/BNB, FET/FDUSD, HMSTR/FDUSD, LAYER/BTC, LAYER/FDUSD, MIRA/BNB, OP/FDUSD, ORDI/FDUSD, PYTH/FDUSD, TRX/FDUSD, WCT/BNB, YB/FDUSD, ZBT/BNB, and ZKC/FDUSD.
Clarification on Asset Availability and User Precautions
Binance officials emphasized that the removal of a spot trading pair does not mean that the associated digital asset has been completely delisted from the platform. Users can continue to buy and sell these assets through other trading pairs on Binance.
On the other hand, the exchange warned users to review their open orders and take necessary precautions before trading pairs are removed. The statement noted that maintaining market quality is critical for both individual investors and the overall ecosystem.
Strategic Importance of the Delisting
This step is seen as part of Binance’s strategy to create a healthier and more sustainable spot market structure.
