Binance to Delist Multiple Bitcoin Trading Pairs: Details

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience observing crypto markets, today’s news from Binance has caught my attention yet again. The delisting of multiple trading pairs for six tokens, including C98, IDEX, FIS, MBOX, REN, and TKO, is a move that sends ripples through the market.


Binance, a significant player in the cryptocurrency exchange market, has caused a stir by announcing its decision to eliminate several Bitcoin trading pairs. Specifically, it will remove Cross and Isolated margin trading for six tokens: C98, IDEX, FIS, MBOX, REN, and TKO. This announcement has led to an immediate shift in market sentiment towards bearishness, with the affected tokens experiencing a drop of between 1% and 4%.

Details of the Binance Delisting

The delisting process will unfold in two stages, commencing on November 27 at 06:00 UTC. On Binance, all Cross and Isolated margin pairings such as C98/BTC, IDEX/BTC, C98/BTC, FIS/BTC, IDEX/BTC, MBOX/BTC, REN/BTC, and TKO/BTC will be removed one by one.

In line with the ongoing process, Binance is temporarily disabling both manual and automated transfers of these specific assets into Isolated Margin accounts. Furthermore, from November 21 onwards, users will not be able to secure loans using these particular trading pairs.

On November 27th, Binance will automatically conclude all user trades associated with these pairings, process settlements, and withdraw any outstanding orders.

Although some tokens have been removed, they continue to be accessible for trading on Binance’s spot market, offering an alternate choice. However, the absence of margin trading for these pairings means fewer leverage opportunities, making them less enticing for aggressive traders.

In addition, this limitation influences the market’s general ease of accessing funds or assets (liquidity). Yet, it’s worth noting that the larger Binance market may encounter fewer restrictions due to its wide variety of over 300 different digital tokens available for selection.

Market Sentiment: Bearish Clouds Looming

As an analyst, I observed a significant impact on TRX‘s price following Binance’s announcement, with noticeable price declines mirroring those of other affected tokens. This underscores the uncertainty among investors about this particular token. At the time of writing, TRX was trading at $0.20, with a 24-hour volatility of 2.3%. The market capitalization stood at a substantial $17.15 billion, while the volume over the same period amounted to $801.09 million. This drop in TRX’s price was also seen after its removal from the Binance.US platform.

In a 2% drop, Coin98 (C98) currently stands at $0.1459, with fluctuations between $0.142 and $0.1518. Meanwhile, IDEX decreased by 1%, resting at $0.04033 within its daily price range of $0.03915 to $0.04354.

In today’s trading, Stafi (FIS) experienced a 2% decrease, ending at $0.3464, with the day’s lowest point being $0.332 and the highest reaching $0.3645. MOBOX (MBOX) posted the most significant decline of 4%, trading at $0.1875 after touching a daily low of $0.1814. REN also saw a substantial drop of 6%, sliding to $0.04049, showing a fluctuating range between $0.03936 and $0.04322.

Currently, Tokocrypto (TKO) has decreased by 1%, settling at around $0.315. This token’s movement lies between $0.3054 and $0.3247. These fluctuations suggest a strong influence Binance has on market sentiment, particularly for tokens heavily traded on its platform. This dependence can amplify price instability whenever Binance takes major actions.

The removal of Bitcoin (BTC) trading pairs for certain tokens has sparked worries about their potential future market fluidity and overall appeal. This action also eliminates margin trading restrictions and reduces leverage options, compelling traders to explore other possibilities and adapt their tactics.

Delisting can hurt reputation, reduce relevance, and change investor confidence in projects. Investors frequently view these actions as a signal of waning confidence from exchanges. This perception can drive reduced trading activity and amplify price declines.

As a researcher, I’ve observed that Binance’s decisions to delist tokens have previously impacted their prices. For instance, in October, the delisting of four tokens led to similar price decreases and sparked discussions about the sustainability of lesser-known assets.
