Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has decided to remove certain BTC trading pairs from its platform. This change, set to take effect on November 27, has captured widespread attention in the market. As users discuss how to manage their assets in the affected pairs, the prices of the relevant cryptocurrencies have declined due to this decision.
Which Pairs Are Being Removed?
In an official announcement dated November 20, Binance revealed that it would remove specific cross-margin pairs such as C98/BTC and IDEX/BTC. This removal will occur at 06:00 UTC on November 27. Additionally, isolated margin pairs including C98/BTC, FIS/BTC, IDEX/BTC, MBOX/BTC, REN/BTC, and TKO/BTC will also be taken off the platform.
The exchange will limit users’ ability to take positions in these pairs. As of November 21, isolated margin borrowing services will be suspended. Binance stated, “Users will not be able to transfer their assets to isolated margin accounts through manual or automatic transfers.” On November 27, all positions will be closed, and automatic liquidation processes will commence.
Price Declines Occurred
Binance’s decision has negatively impacted the prices of the affected cryptocurrencies. The price of C98 fell by 2%, dropping to $0.1459. IDEX decreased by 1%, reaching $0.04033. FIS also dropped by 2%, trading at $0.3464. MBOX, REN, and TKO recorded declines of 4%, 6%, and 1%, respectively.
This situation has drawn reactions from users. Binance’s frequent decisions to remove tokens and pairs have caused concerns among traders, particularly regarding the potential impact on liquidity and price stability. Last month, Binance’s removal of other tokens similarly led to price drops, forcing users to reconsider their trading strategies and evaluate alternative platforms.
The removal of these pairs has triggered a new wave of fluctuations in the market. During this process, it is crucial for users to closely monitor Binance’s decisions.
