Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced another delisting decision as it continues its regular audits of spot trading pairs. According to the official announcement published on December 31, 2025, some spot trading pairs will be removed from the platform as of January 2, 2026, and trading in these pairs will be completely stopped. Binance emphasized that this decision was made to protect users and maintain high quality standards in the market. The exchange reminded users that it periodically reviews all spot trading pairs it lists; some pairs may be delisted based on various criteria such as insufficient liquidity, low trading volume, and overall market performance.
Pairs to be Delisted on January 2, 2026
According to information shared by Binance, trading in the following spot trading pairs will end as of 06:00 AM UTC on January 2, 2026:
- ARKM/BNB
- BARD/BNB
- EGLD/RON
- LISTA/FDUSD
- SCR/FDUSD
- ZKC/BNB
After this time, users will not be able to place orders on these pairs, and open orders will be automatically canceled. Binance recommends that users make the necessary arrangements before this date to avoid any potential disruptions.
Tokens are not completely removed from Binance
One of the points particularly emphasized in the statement was that the delisting of a spot trading pair does not mean that the token in question is completely removed from the Binance Spot market. Users will be able to continue buying and selling the main and counter assets in these trading pairs through other pairs that are still active on Binance. For example, even if a token is removed from trading on the BNB pair, the same token may continue to be traded on a different stablecoin or another crypto asset pair. Therefore, it is important for investors to check the available trading options instead of panic selling.
Spot Trading Bots services will also be terminated
Another important detail in Binance's announcement concerns Spot Trading Bots services. Spot trading bots working for the relevant trading pairs will be automatically stopped as of January 2, 2026, at 06:00 UTC. Binance explicitly warned users about this, recommending that bot settings be updated or bots be completely deactivated to prevent potential losses. This warning is critical, especially for investors using automated trading strategies. Because failure to shut down bots in time can lead to unwanted trades or unexpected losses.
Regional access warning
Binance also reminded that this announcement is a general statement and that the mentioned products or services may not be available in some regions. The delisting of spot trading pairs generally indicates low trading volume or decreased market interest in those pairs. While such decisions can cause price fluctuations in the short term, it's not always accurate to say they directly reflect the fundamental state of the token project.
