Dear Binancian,
At Binance, we regularly review each digital asset we list to ensure it continues to meet a high level of industry standards and requirements. When a coin or token no longer meets these requirements, or the market environment changes, we conduct further analysis which may lead to its delisting from our platform. Our priority is to provide the best services and protections to our users while continuing to adapt to changing market dynamics.
When we conduct these reviews, we consider a variety of factors. Here are some of the factors that lead us to decide to delist a digital asset:
Team commitment to the project;
Level and quality of development activity:
Trading volume and liquidity;
Network stability and security against attacks;
Network/smart contract stability;
Level of public communication;
Responsiveness to our regular requests for due diligence;
Evidence of unethical/fraudulent conduct or negligence;
New regulatory requirements;
Contributing to a healthy and sustainable crypto ecosystem.
Following our latest reviews, we have made the decision to delist and halt trading of all Spot trading pairs with the following token(s) on 2024-12-10 03:00 (UTC):
Remarks :
The exact trading pairs removed are: GFT/USDT, IRIS/USDT, KEY/USDT, OAX/BTC, OAX/USDT, REN/BTC, REN/USDT
All trading orders will be automatically deleted after trading of each respective trading pair is stopped.
The token valuation will no longer be displayed in your wallet after delisting. Please make sure you have not selected the “Hide small balances” option in your wallets so that you can view your assets after trading is stopped.
Deposits of this token(s) after 2024-12-11 03:00 (UTC) will not be credited to your account.
Withdrawals of this token(s) from Binance will no longer be supported after 2025/02/12 03:00 (UTC).
Delisted tokens MAY be converted to stablecoins on behalf of users after 2025/02/13 03:00 (UTC). Please note that the conversion of delisted tokens to stablecoins is NOT guaranteed. A separate notification will be made prior to the conversion, if applicable, and stablecoins will be credited to users' Binance accounts after the conversion.
Binance Simple Earn will delist the above-mentioned token(s) on 2024/12/06 03:00 (UTC). Users may choose to redeem their positions in the flexible and locked products in advance. Otherwise, these positions in the flexible and locked products will be automatically redeemed on the date mentioned above and then transferred to users’ Spot wallets, along with any accrued rewards.

Binance Margin will delist GFT, IRIS, KEY, OAX, and REN from Cross Margin and Isolated Margin on 2024/12/04 06:00 (UTC). The Cross Margin and Isolated Margin pairs GFT/USDT, IRIS/USDT, KEY/USDT, OAX/USDT, REN/BTC, REN/USDT will be delisted from Margin. Starting today, users will no longer be able to transfer any amount of the aforementioned token(s) via manual transfers and the automatic transfer mode for Cross Margin and Isolated Margin to their margin accounts. If users have outstanding liabilities of these tokens, they can only manually transfer the amount of the liabilities of this token to their margin accounts, after deducting any collateral already available.

If there is still collateral or liabilities on the above-mentioned token(s), one of the following two situations will occur:
If users only hold the aforementioned token(s) as collateral:
If the Margin Collateral Level (MCL) is greater than 2, the aforementioned token(s) will be transferred to users' Spot Wallets, until the MCL reaches 2. The remaining tokens in their Cross Margin Accounts that need to be delisted will then be sold in full.
If the NMG is less than 2, the remaining tokens in the cross margin accounts of users who are to be delisted will be sold in full.
If users only hold the aforementioned token(s) as liabilities:
If the NMG is equal to or greater than 2, pending orders will not be affected.
If the NMG is less than 2, all pending orders in their cross margin accounts will be cancelled.
The system will then sell additional collateral tokens to purchase and fully repay the liabilities of the delisted token(s).
Please note that users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, and they can close their positions and/or transfer their assets from their margin wallets to their spot wallets before margin trading stops on 2024/12/04 06:00 (UTC).
