Binance Margin will phase out several BTC margin trading pairs, including Band Protocol, Gitcoin, Highstreet, Perpetual Protocol, STP, and AVA. This affects both cross and isolated-margin trading options, reducing available pairs for users.
The exchange has cautioned users to close positions and transfer affected assets from Margin Wallets to Spot Wallets to avoid potential losses. However, despite the delisting news, coins like Highstreet and Perpetual Protocol have surged by 6% to 12% in price, while AVA, Gitcoin, BAND, and STP recorded modest gains of 1% to 2%. This mixed market response highlights varying investor sentiment across the affected assets.
On December 3, Binance informed users about upcoming changes to its margin trading offerings. Several BTC trading pairs, including Band Protocol, Gitcoin, and Highstreet, will no longer be available for cross or isolated-margin trading.
According to the announcement, BAND/BTC and GTC/BTC cross-margin pairs, along with isolated margin pairs like AVA/BTC, HIGH/BTC, PERP/BTC, and STPT/BTC, will be removed. The delisting process begins on December 4, 2024, with the suspension of isolated margin borrowing. Full removal, including automatic closure of positions and cancellation of pending orders, will occur on December 11, 2024, at 06:00 UTC.
Binance, one of the top crypto exchanges, advises users to act proactively by closing positions and transferring funds to Spot Wallets ahead of these deadlines. While these pairs are being phased out, the underlying assets will still be tradable on other available pairs within the platform. These changes aim to streamline Binance’s offerings and better align with market demands.
November saw a bullish trend in the crypto market, with approximately $1 trillion added in just one month. This surge in market momentum has positively impacted several of the affected assets, despite Binance’s delisting announcement.
Band Protocol (BAND) price traded at $1.90, up 4% in the last 24 hours and 22% over the past week. GTC price surged 40% in the past week, reaching $1.20, and has gained 100% over the last month. PERP rose 7% to $1.03, marking a 20% increase in just one week.
Highstreet (HIGH) price also saw strong performance, up 12% to $2.04. Meanwhile, STPT price exchanged hands at $0.05, a 40% hike over the past month. AVA price was up 8%, priced at $0.72, reflecting a positive short-term outlook despite the upcoming delisting.
