Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced the completion of another phase of spot market trading pair reviews and decided to delist several spot pairs. Binance cited low liquidity, insufficient trading volume, and other factors that, in the exchange's view, reduce market efficiency. The company specified the exact suspension time: trading for the listed pairs will be fully halted from 06:00 on January 2, 2026.
Binance's Decision to Delist Trading Pairs
Binance regularly conducts spot market pair reviews to protect user security and maintain a high-quality trading environment. In its official announcement, the exchange stated that the reasons for delisting are related to low liquidity, insufficient trading volume, and other factors negatively impacting market efficiency. According to Binance, these reviews aim to reduce manipulation risks and safeguard market integrity.
Similar measures have been seen in previous platform releases, where Binance adjusted its list of available instruments in response to market conditions and internal assessments. More details on comparable decisions can be found in articles about the exchange's actions to remove tokens and pairs: removing nine tokens and delisting margin pairs.
Which Trading Pairs Are Delisted
Binance listed all pairs for which trading will be suspended. The list includes six spot pairs for which trading will cease at the specified time, and open orders will be automatically canceled.
- ARKM/BNB
- BARD/BNB
- EGLD/RON
- LISTA/FDUSD
- SCR/FDUSD
- ZKC/BNB
The exact suspension date and time is 06:00 on January 2, 2026. After this point, open orders for these pairs will be automatically canceled, and trading will no longer be possible. It is important to note that this only concerns the specified spot pairs and does not mean the assets themselves are removed from the platform.
What Users Should Do
Binance clearly states that the affected assets are not removed from the platform: they can still be bought and sold through other trading pairs that remain listed. Users are advised to check their open positions and orders before the deadline to avoid unexpected automatic cancellations. If you plan to quickly sell or reallocate assets, use the available alternative pairs on Binance.
Why This Matters
If you mine and store earned tokens on Binance, the suspension of these trading pairs may affect your open orders and plans for quick sales of specific pairs. However, the mining process itself and the number of your devices will not change due to the delisting — only the availability of trading pairs on the spot market is affected. Keep in mind that automatic cancellation of orders after 06:00 on January 2, 2026, may require you to manually transfer or close orders in advance.
Recommended Actions
Advice for miners with 1–1000 devices: first, review all open orders and open backup pairs for trading if you plan to sell assets soon. Second, if you need to convert coins, find other available trading pairs for these assets on Binance and, if necessary, move liquidity there before the specified date. Finally, monitor official Binance announcements to stay informed about possible future listing changes.
Binance's Future Plans
The exchange noted that such regular reviews will continue as part of its policy to maintain a healthy trading environment and reduce manipulation risks. Binance warned that similar steps may be taken in the future depending on the status of specific pairs and advised users to closely follow official announcements.
