Binance has announced it will remove certain margin trading pairs from its platform to maintain trading quality and enhance user security in margin markets. According to the official statement from the exchange, trading on specific Cross Margin and Isolated Margin trading pairs will cease on January 15, 2026, at 09:00 AM.
According to the announcement, the trading pairs to be excluded from Cross Margin include AUDIO/BTC, SUSHI/BTC, MTL/BTC, IOTX/ETH, SLP/ETH, TRB/BTC, PYR/BTC, EGLD/BTC, ENS/BTC, APE/BTC, NEO/BTC, NMR/BTC, SHIB/DOGE, and MINA/BTC. The list for Isolated Margin is broader, with pairs such as AUDIO/BTC, CTSI/BTC, ATOM/ETH, WAN/BTC, MOVR/BTC, OXT/BTC, STORJ/BTC, YFI/BTC, FLUX/BTC, AUCTION/BTC, and REQ/BTC also being removed from trading.
Binance emphasized that it considers many factors when making such decisions, including liquidity, trading volume, volatility levels, and overall market conditions. The platform noted that trading pairs with low volume or increased risk in margin markets could have negative consequences for users, and reminded users that such periodic reviews are conducted regularly.
Authorities warned users with open positions prior to the aforementioned date to close their positions or repay their debts to avoid potential liquidation risks. Otherwise, open positions may be automatically closed after the relevant margin pairs are delisted.
Binance reiterated that margin trading involves high risk, advising investors to exercise caution and prioritize risk management in such transactions.
