In the cryptocurrency markets, listing and delisting decisions directly affect investor behavior, and recent announcements from Binance have attracted attention in this regard. The exchange announced that it will be making comprehensive changes to certain assets and trading pairs in both margin trading and the spot market. According to the announcements, these changes will be implemented gradually starting April 10, 2026.
Margin Delisting for WAN
First, a significant step is being taken on the margin side. Binance has decided to completely remove the WAN token from margin trading. Accordingly, WAN will be removed from being a borrowable asset in both Cross Margin and Isolated Margin. At the same time, the WAN/USDT trading pair will also be removed from the margin market. This process will not proceed in a single step, but with a multi-stage schedule.
As of April 8, new borrowing transactions for WAN will be suspended for users. By April 10, users' open positions will be automatically closed by the system, existing orders will be canceled, and the relevant trading pairs will be completely removed. At this point, Binance specifically advises users to close their positions or transfer their assets to their spot accounts before the process is completed.
The details of how the system will work for users holding WAN in margin accounts have also been explained. If users have both collateral and debt positions, the existing collateral will first be used to pay off debts. The remaining assets will either be transferred to the spot account or sold directly, depending on certain conditions. It is stated that the system will automatically sell, especially in accounts with low collateral ratios.
A similar scenario applies to Portfolio Margin users. After the specified date, any remaining WAN assets in the account will be automatically liquidated, and the resulting amount will be added to the user's balance. Binance explicitly emphasizes that it will not be responsible for any losses that may occur during this process. It is also stated that users should closely monitor their maintenance collateral ratios.
Cleanup in the spot market
On the other hand, Binance has decided to remove some trading pairs not only in the margin market but also in the spot market. According to the announcement, the BNB/TUSD, GRT/BTC, SOL/TUSD, and TRUMP/BRL trading pairs will be removed from the platform as of April 10, 2026, at 06:00 AM UTC. Factors such as low liquidity and trading volume are cited as reasons for this decision.
However, there's an important detail here. The removal of these trading pairs doesn't mean the tokens are completely deleted from the platform. Users will still be able to buy and sell these assets through other pairs traded on Binance. This is more of a reduction in trading options. Furthermore, trading bot services that rely on these spot trading pairs will also be discontinued on the same date. Therefore, investors using bots should update or shut down their systems in advance to avoid potential disruptions.
