Binance Delists AVAX and MATIC’s TUSD Trading Pair

In a July 24 announcement, the digital asset exchange disclosed updates to its spot trading pair listings. On July 26, Binance will delist the AVAX/TUSD, MATIC/TUSD, and VOXEL/BTC trading pairs. The exchange cited the need for high-quality trading markets adding that it will conduct periodic reviews and remove pairs due to liquidity and volumes.

The crypto exchanges issued instructions to users ranging from steps to be taken before the July 26 date. Users can still trade corresponding tokens on the platform as other tokens will not be affected.

“Delisting a spot trading pair will not affect users’ ability to trade its corresponding tokens on the Binance spot platform (if applicable). Users can still trade the underlying and quoted assets of the spot trading pair on other trading pairs provided by the Binance platform.”

Furthermore, Binance will take out the trading bot service on July 26 while urging users to close all trading bot services for the listed trading pairs before July 26 to avoid losses.
