Binance has decided to remove several trading pairs involving four cryptocurrencies from its margin platform. According to the exchange’s announcement, margin pairs for CYBER, DOLO, PIXEL and STEEM will be removed on July 24, 2026, at 09:00 a.m. Türkiye time.
The affected pairs fall into two categories. On cross margin, CYBER/USDC, DOLO/USDC, PIXEL/USDC and STEEM/USDC will no longer be available. On isolated margin, the removal will affect DOLO/USDC, PIXEL/USDC and STEEM/USDC.
The process begins today. Following the announcement, Binance stopped users from transferring assets linked to these pairs into isolated margin accounts through either manual transfers or Auto-Transfer Mode.
There is one exception. Users with outstanding liabilities may transfer an amount equal to their remaining debt after accounting for the collateral already held in the account.
The second stage will begin on July 21 at 09:00 a.m. Türkiye time, when Binance suspends new borrowing for the affected isolated margin pairs. The main removal process will take place on July 24.
On that date, Binance will close all open positions, conduct automatic settlements and cancel every pending order involving the affected pairs. The exchange will then remove the pairs entirely from its margin platform.
Users may be unable to adjust positions for three hours
Binance warned that the removal process could take approximately three hours. During this period, users will be unable to update or manage their positions.
Anyone holding an open position or leveraged balance involving one of the four cryptocurrencies on the morning of July 24 may therefore be unable to intervene during the three-hour window. Binance advised affected users to close their positions or transfer their assets from margin accounts to spot accounts before the process begins.
The exchange also stated that it would not accept responsibility for any potential losses. Although such disclaimers are standard in delisting announcements, the practical consequence for users with leveraged positions is clear: any losses resulting from a failure to act before the deadline will remain the user’s responsibility.
Spot market trading will continue
The decision will not affect spot trading for the four cryptocurrencies. Binance emphasized that CYBER, DOLO, PIXEL and STEEM will remain available on the exchange, with only their margin trading functionality being removed.
Users will still be able to buy and sell these assets on the spot market. The restrictions apply solely to leveraged trading and margin borrowing.
Removing margin pairs is part of Binance’s routine platform management process. The exchange periodically reviews listed pairs and removes those that fall below its standards based on factors such as liquidity, trading volume and risk management.
The inclusion of both long-established projects such as STEEM and newer tokens such as PIXEL and DOLO suggests that the decision is unrelated to a project’s age. Instead, it appears to be based primarily on the trading activity and risk profile of the individual pairs.
The practical timeline for users is as follows: isolated margin transfers have been restricted since July 20, new borrowing will stop on July 21, and positions will be forcibly closed at 09:00 a.m. Türkiye time on July 24. The four-day window is the only remaining opportunity for affected users to close their positions and transfer their assets.
