Cryptocurrency giant Binance announced its decision to remove several altcoin trading pairs from its exchange on Tuesday. The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange has announced plans to stop trading eight trading pairs. of altcoins.
This measure, scheduled to take effect from December 10 at 03:00 UTC, shows Binance’s efforts to improve market quality.
Things Binance Users Need To Do
Binance states that it evaluates the performance of trading pairs as part of its commitment to ensuring high standards and industry requirements. With this standard, they periodically review the Token portfolio, removing Tokens that do not meet the requirements in terms of liquidity and trading volume. The exchange claims these measures protect users and maintain a high-quality trading environment.
“When a coin or token no longer meets these standards or the industry landscape changes, we conduct more thorough review and may remove it. Our priority is to ensure the best service and protection for our users while continuing to adapt to evolving market dynamics,” Binance declare on Tuesday.
In this context, the Cryptocurrency exchange with the largest trading volume plans to remove the following spot trading pairs.
The exchange will automatically delete all trading orders after stopping trading in each respective pair.
“Please note that users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, and they are strongly advised to close their positions and/or transfer their assets from Margin Wallet to Spot Wallet first. when margin trading stops on December 4, 2024 at 06:00 (UTC). Binance will not be responsible for any potential losses,” the exchange warned.
Therefore, users interested in these pairs may consider adjusting their trading strategies accordingly before Binance delists. Notably, the exchange will also discontinue its spot trading bot service for these pairs at the same time. Binance recommends that traders cancel or update their automated trades to avoid potential financial loss.
Before this delisting move, the value of GFT, IRIS, KEY, OAX and REN all dropped sharply. This instability could be due to investors losing confidence in the prospects of the tokens when the delisting occurs, which could lead to further sell-offs.
This development is not surprising. History shows that delisting tokens from major exchanges often leads to a wave of mass sell-offs.
Similarly, Token listing acts as a bullish effect. This happened recently when Binance listed SLERF and SCRT, sending Token prices skyrocketing amid the market fever.
The same happened to Akash Network (AKT), as it increased by 30% following the announcement of its listing on Binance. While the listing drives price increases, recent developments show the impact of delisting on an exchange on the value of altcoins.
