Binance Delists Key Trading Pairs Sparking Speculations
Binance has recently announced its plans to delist four trading pairs from its platform. The announcement showed that APE/ETH, ATOM/BNB, BAL/BTC, and BNB/DAI, would be removed from the exchange. This announcement by the crypto exchange has sparked speculations.
Meanwhile, the company noted that this move was part of their regular reviews of spot trading pairs, which consider several factors like liquidity, trading volume, and others. Notably, the delisting is scheduled for October 11, 2024, at 3:00 UTC.
The exchange indicated that this action is in line with its effort to maintain a high-quality trading environment for the users. In addition, it also clarified that the delisting of these pairs will not affect the availability of the individual tokens. In other words, the users can continue to trade the base and quote assets through other trading pairs still available on the platform.
Notably, the exchange also advised users of its Spot Trading Bots to cancel or update their bots for these pairs to avoid potential losses once trading ceases.
Will These Delistings Impact BNB And Other Prices?
The news of Binance’s delisting tends to trigger mixed reactions in the market. Typically, such announcements from the top crypto exchanges can impact investor sentiment. For instance, positive developments usually lead to market optimism, while decisions like delisting can fuel uncertainty.
Having said that, traders might interpret this delisting as a sign of reduced interest or declining liquidity in the affected pairs. It could potentially drive down the prices of these tokens in the short term, sparking speculations over a potential price crash.
However, the delisting of spot trading pairs does not necessarily guarantee a price slump. Although chances remain, the investors can sometimes avoid such announcements, as the exchange has still other pairs of these crypto available on its platform.
As of writing, APE price was up about 0.55% and exchanged hands at $0.74, while its trading volume dropped by 5% to $50.44 million. On the other hand, ATOM price was down about 0.5% to $4.35, and its trading volume dipped 30% to $78.81 million.
