Binance Delists 10 Pairs, Shifts Focus to DeFi, Web3 and Metaverse
Binance announced it will delist 10 BTC margin trading pairs effective Friday, Jan. 30, removing cross and isolated margin for Decentraland (MANA), dYdX (DYDX), Kusama (KSM), Arweave (AR), Synthetix (SNX), Hive (HIVE), 1inch (1INCH), ICON (ICX), Syscoin (SYS) and Loopring (LRC). The change specifically targets leveraged trading channels; users with open margin positions should review the exchange notice for deadlines and required actions to close or migrate positions.
The delistings reduce available leverage for these altcoins and could trim liquidity or increase volatility in affected pairs. Binance frames the move as part of a product and risk-management recalibration as it narrows focus toward prioritized DeFi, Web3 and metaverse offerings. Traders and projects tied to these tokens will likely watch for further policy shifts and adjust margin strategies or venue selection accordingly.
