Binance has announced the delisting of three spot trading pairs: DCR/BTC, PEPE/TUSD, and ZEN/ETH, effective December 13, 2024. This decision follows Binance's regular assessment of trading pairs based on liquidity and trading volume. Despite the delisting, users can still trade Decred (DCR), Pepe (PEPE), and Horizen (ZEN) through other available trading pairs on the Binance platform.

Why Are These Pairs Being Delisted?

Binance conducts periodic reviews to maintain a high-quality trading environment. Delisting decisions are based on several key factors:

  • Low Liquidity and Trading Volume: Insufficient activity may impact market efficiency.

  • Regulatory or Compliance Risks: Ensuring adherence to global regulatory standards.

  • Project-Specific Risks: Including user adoption, development activity, or other project vulnerabilities.

  • Ethical Concerns: Evidence of fraudulent activities or market abuse.

When a trading pair no longer meets these criteria, Binance delists it to safeguard user interests and platform integrity.

What Should Users Do?

1. Close Open Orders:
Users are advised to review and close any open orders involving the affected pairs (DCR/BTC, PEPE/TUSD, ZEN/ETH) before the delisting date to avoid unexpected losses.

2. Trade Using Other Pairs:
Even after delisting, the tokens DCR, PEPE, and ZEN will remain available for trading on Binance through alternative pairs. Users can continue their trading activities seamlessly.

Important Notes:

  • Token Availability Remains Unchanged: The delisting of a trading pair does not affect the availability of the tokens themselves on Binance.

  • Stay Informed: For detailed guidance on the delisting process and frequently asked questions, users can refer to Binance’s Delisting Guide & FAQ.

This decision underscores Binance’s commitment to providing a secure and high-quality trading experience for its users. Regular updates from Binance will help users stay informed about any platform changes.

By taking these steps, Binance aims to maintain a robust trading environment that prioritizes user safety and market efficiency. Stay vigilant and updated with the latest developments to make the most of your trading journey.
