Binance Announces Delisting of 12 Spot Pairs on January 17, 2025

On January 17, 2025, at 3:00 UTC, Binance Exchange will delist 12 spot trading pairs to maintain a high-quality trading environment. This decision is part of Binance's periodic review of its listed pairs to ensure liquidity and trading volume standards are met. The delisting will help protect users and improve the overall market quality.

Affected Trading Pairs

The 12 spot trading pairs to be removed, include BNX/BTC, CATI/BNB, CATI/BRL, CHZ/FDUSD, DOGS/BNB, GTC/BTC, HIGH/BTC, LISTA/BTC, NOT/BRL, PIXEL/BTC, TKO/BTC, and TWT/BTC

Binance advises users to cancel open orders and positions on these pairs to prevent potential losses. However, Binance assures that this delisting only affects the mentioned pairs. Other spot trading pairs on the platform will remain unaffected.

Market Impact and Broader Trends

The delisting of these trading pairs may have a noticeable impact on the respective tokens, especially as the crypto community anticipates an altseason. As more digital assets enter the market, competition for liquidity increases. 

While these coins may face reduced demand, users still have the option to purchase them via on-chain methods, such as decentralized exchanges. In response to regulations like MiCA in Europe, exchanges are increasingly delisting tokens to ensure compliance. 

Despite the short-term market shifts, crypto continues to serve as an alternative hedge against inflation, with many investors eyeing it as a safer option than traditional equities.
