Binance has announced that it will delist Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK). According to the exchange’s October 14 announcement, all spot trading pairs for both assets will close on October 28, 2026, at 03:00 UTC. Both tokens saw sharp price movements in the first minutes following the announcement.
Binance Announces Delisting Schedule for EPIC and QUICK
Binance will automatically cancel open orders once spot trading ends. Support for spot trading bots operating on the affected pairs will also end at the same time.
Other products will begin winding down earlier. The announced schedule will apply depending on each token’s availability across the relevant products:
- Futures: New positions will be blocked from October 20 at 08:30 UTC, followed by automatic settlement at 09:00 UTC.
- Margin trading: The affected tokens will be removed on October 20 at 10:00 UTC.
- Spot Copy Trading: Support will end on October 21 at 03:00 UTC.
- Simple Earn: Positions will be closed on October 21 at 07:00 UTC, with assets and accrued rewards transferred to users’ spot accounts.
Deposits will no longer be credited after October 29 at 03:00 UTC. Withdrawal support is scheduled to end on December 28 at 03:00 UTC; remaining balances may be converted into stablecoins after December 29.
However, Binance does not guarantee conversion. If conversion is not possible, withdrawals may remain available, subject to network availability.
Binance assesses factors such as liquidity, development activity, security, and transparency during its periodic reviews. The announcement does not specify which criteria EPIC and QUICK failed to meet.
What Are Epic Chain and the EPIC Token Used For?
Epic Chain originated from the Ethernity Chain project. In March 2025, Binance supported the transition from Ethernity Chain’s ERN token to EPIC, exchanging users’ tokens at a one-to-one ratio. EPIC/USDT spot trading began on March 13, 2025.
The project currently presents itself on its official website as a travel platform for crypto users. It aims to expand the everyday use of crypto assets through hotel and flight bookings.
Benefits for EPIC holders include booking discounts and access to a personal travel concierge under certain conditions. According to the project, users holding at least $10,000 worth of EPIC can access this dedicated concierge service.
The platform also promotes XRP cashback on bookings. EPIC’s current utility therefore centers on access to travel services and user benefits; the advertised discounts and cashback rates are subject to the project’s own terms.
What Are QuickSwap and the QUICK Token Used For?
QuickSwap is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange known for its presence in the Polygon ecosystem. Users can swap tokens, provide assets to liquidity pools, and access various decentralized finance products.
The project’s official documentation shows that it operates across multiple networks, including Base, Soneium, and Immutable zkEVM, alongside Polygon PoS. Its products also include perpetual futures trading.
QUICK serves as the platform’s governance token. Holders can participate in decisions about the protocol’s future through proposals and votes.
QuickSwap’s tokenomics also include buybacks and token burns. A June 2025 announcement from the project outlined the use of protocol revenue to purchase and burn QUICK. This mechanism aims to reduce the token supply, while governance decisions determine how the model operates.
EPIC and QUICK Prices Fall Sharply
Selling pressure increased across both tokens following Binance’s delisting announcement. According to JrKripto data from around 10:41 UTC on October 14, EPIC fell 18.43% over the previous 24 hours to approximately $0.3530.
QUICK dropped 21.85% over the same period, trading at $0.0078346. Its daily decline therefore exceeded EPIC’s.
The losses also extended to their weekly performance. EPIC’s seven-day decline reached 29.62%, while QUICK fell 25.03% over the same period.
