Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced the removal of low-volume trading pairs, including DCR/BTC, PEPE/TUSD, and ZEN/ETH, effective December 13 at 03:00 (UTC). This decision aligns with Binance’s ongoing efforts to maintain high liquidity and market quality on its platform.
Why Are These Pairs Being Removed?
The delisting of these trading pairs is part of Binance’s regular market evaluation strategy. Criteria such as liquidity, trading volume, and overall market quality play a significant role in these decisions. The trading pairs set for removal have shown notably low activity:
- PEPE/TUSD: 24-hour trading volume of just 120,279 TUSD
- ZEN/ETH: 16.81 ETH in volume
- DCR/BTC: 1.41 BTC in volume
These figures underscore the inability of these pairs to meet Binance’s market standards. Users are advised to update or cancel any Spot Trading Bots linked to these pairs before their removal.
Binance clarified that the delisting only applies to these specific pairs, and the associated tokens will remain tradable under other pairings on the platform.
Binance’s Dual Approach: Delisting and Expansion
This delisting follows the removal of several other trading pairs on December 10. However, Binance’s strategy isn’t solely about pruning low-performing pairs. The exchange continues to expand its offerings with new listings. Recent examples include the addition of SPX6900, a popular meme coin, and other tokens like Solana-based ACT and PNUT, which saw significant price increases post-listing.
For instance, ACT and PNUT surged by 1,199% and 208%, respectively, after their Binance debut. Similarly, the ACX token from Across Protocol gained 150% following its listing announcement. These moves demonstrate Binance’s ability to shape market trends and attract investor attention through strategic additions.
Maintaining Market Leadership
By removing underperforming trading pairs and introducing high-potential assets, Binance aims to ensure a superior market environment for its users. This balanced approach is critical to the platform’s sustained leadership in the cryptocurrency space. Binance’s proactive strategies continue to set it apart as a trusted and innovative exchange.
