The world’s largest crypto exchange Binance on Wednesday said it plans to delist some spot and margin trading pairs. The delisting to impact crypto such as Axelar (AXL), Coin98 (C98), Enjin Coin (ENJ), Bella Protocol (BEL), NULS, Lisk (LSK), Litentry (LIT), and SafePal (SFP).

Binance Delisting AXL, C98, and ENJ Coin Spot Trading Pairs

On January 8, Binance revealed the plan to remove and cease support some spot trading pairs for Axelar, Coin98, and Enjin Coin. The delisting will take effect at 03:00 UTC on January 10.

This move followed Binance’s periodic review of market liquidity and trading volume. The exchange cited poor liquidity and low trading volume as the main reasons for delisting these pairs.

Even though the affected tokens can still be used for trading alongside other assets on the platform, the decision to remove these trading pairs has raised concerns among traders and investors. The delisting of pairs like AXL/FDUSD, C98/BTC, and ENJ/ETH signifies a shift in market dynamics, prompting users to adjust their positions accordingly.

Investors To See Liquidity Issues?

Furthermore, the removal of trading pairs from Binance can result in reduced liquidity, which can increase the volatility of the affected tokens, especially amid crypto market crash. The exchange also declared that it would terminate Spot Trading Bot services for the affected pairs.

Users who have set up automated trading bots for these pairs are advised to cancel or adjust them to avoid potential losses. This warning highlights the broader implications of delisting for traders who rely on automated strategies. The delisting news triggered a sharp decline in the price of the affected tokens, contributing to the ongoing market volatility.

Binance Margin announced the delisting of several cross and isolated margin trading pairs. These include Bella Protocol (BEL), NULS, Lisk (LSK), Litentry (LIT), and SafePal (SFP) in BTC pairs.

The delisting process starts with restrictions on asset transfers into Isolated Margin accounts. Isolated margin borrowing will be suspended on January 9. Binance advised users to close their positions or transfer assets to Spot Accounts before January 16. On this date, all affected positions will be settled automatically, and pending orders will be canceled.

Cross-margin pairs such as LIT/BTC, NULS/BTC, and SFP/BTC will be delisted alongside isolated margin pairs, including BEL/BTC, LIT/BTC, LSK/BTC, NULS/BTC, and SFP/BTC. One of the top crypto exchanges emphasized that users would no longer be able to update their positions during the delisting process, and failure to act in time could result in potential losses.

Despite these changes, the affected tokens will remain tradable in other pairs. This strategic move follows the exchange’s commitment to maintaining high-quality trading markets and optimize the user experience.
