Binance Executes New Spot and Margin Pair Delistings as Market Quality Review Continues

Binance is executing two scheduled delisting actions on January 23.

First, Binance will remove a batch of spot trading pairs and terminate Spot Trading Bots for those pairs at 03:00 UTC, as stated in the Binance spot pair removal notice.

Second, Binance Margin will delist multiple cross and isolated margin pairs at 06:00 UTC, close user positions, perform automatic settlements, and cancel pending orders, as outlined in the Binance Margin removal notice.

Spot Pair Delistings at 03:00 UTC

Binance will remove and cease trading on 20 spot pairs at 03:00 UTC on January 23.

The pairs listed in the announcement are:

• AI/BTC, ALLO/BNB, APE/BTC, AUCTION/BTC
• BOME/FDUSD, DYDX/FDUSD, ENA/BNB
• FIL/ETH, ID/BTC, KITE/BNB
• LDO/BTC, LRC/ETH, NMR/BTC
• PENGU/FDUSD, PNUT/BTC, PYR/BTC
• STRK/FDUSD, XVG/ETH, YFI/BTC, ZIL/ETH

Binance also states it will terminate Spot Trading Bots services for the same set of pairs at 03:00 UTC, and advises users to update or cancel bots before the cutoff in the same spot delisting notice.

A key operational point is that Binance says delisting a spot pair does not remove the underlying tokens from Binance Spot. The base and quote assets may still be tradable via other available pairs.

Binance Margin Delists Multiple Pairs at 06:00 UTC

Binance Margin states it will delist the following pairs at 06:00 UTC on January 23.

Cross margin pairs:

• YGG/BTC, ARPA/BTC, OGN/BTC, COMP/BTC, SUPER/BTC, JOE/BTC

Isolated margin pairs:

• YGG/BTC, CELO/BTC, VET/ETH, ARPA/BTC, OGN/BTC, GAS/BTC, COMP/BTC, SUPER/BTC, DIA/BTC

Binance also states that isolated margin borrowing for the affected isolated pairs was suspended earlier at 06:00 UTC on January 21, and that at 06:00 UTC on January 23 it will close positions, perform automatic settlements, and cancel pending orders for the affected pairs, per the margin delisting notice.

Binance cautions that users may not be able to update positions during the delisting process and that the process may take approximately three hours.

Why It Matters

These actions can move markets even when the assets remain listed.

Spot pair removals can distort short-term pricing by forcing liquidity to migrate into remaining pairs, which can widen spreads and increase slippage during the transition window.

Bot termination adds a second-order effect. Strategies tied to the delisted pairs are forcibly shut off at the same time, which can create sudden reductions in passive liquidity or trigger manual unwinds.

Margin delistings are more mechanically disruptive.

When positions must be closed and settled on a schedule, traders can face rushed deleveraging, unexpected borrow constraints, and volatility spillovers into related pairs and venues.

What To Verify Next

• Look for any project-level guidance on liquidity migration and preferred replacement pairs if teams publish updates.
• Check whether the delisted spot pairs have alternative high-liquidity routes on Binance, such as USDT or FDUSD pairs.
• Monitor spreads and volume patterns shortly after 03:00 UTC, especially if price discovery concentrates into fewer pairs.
• Watch for forced unwind behavior around 06:00 UTC in the affected margin markets, including any abrupt moves driven by position closures.

Practical Checklist for Traders

• Cancel or migrate Spot Trading Bots tied to the delisted spot pairs before 03:00 UTC on January 23.
• If holding margin positions in the affected pairs, close positions and transfer assets out of Margin accounts ahead of 06:00 UTC on January 23.
• Re-check the exact pair you trade. In delisting waves, traders often misclick into lookalike tickers or substitute pairs with different liquidity profiles.
• Expect thinner books and less predictable fills during the first hour after each cutoff.

Conclusion

Binance is executing a coordinated operational reset on January 23, removing 20 spot pairs and terminating their Spot Trading Bots at 03:00 UTC, then delisting multiple margin pairs at 06:00 UTC with position closures and settlements.

The biggest near-term effects are market structure driven: liquidity migration, wider spreads in remaining routes, and potential rushed deleveraging in margin markets. Execution hygiene matters most during these windows: confirm the pair, cancel bots early, and close margin exposure before the settlement process begins.
