Binance announced on July 1, 2026 that it will advance the scheduled removal of certain spot trading pairs from July 3, 2026 to July 1, 2026 at 12:00 UTC. A total of 12 trading pairs are affected: BIGTIME/USDC, BTC/EURI, CTK/BNB, CTK/BTC, ETH/EURI, ETH/PLN, GUN/BNB, JST/BTC, ZEN/BTC, BTC/PLN, USDC/PLN, and USDT/PLN. The exchange will also terminate spot trading bot services for these pairs at the same time.
Background and Market Impact
Binance regularly reviews trading pairs and delists those with low liquidity or trading volume. Moving the delisting date forward by two days suggests a rapid deterioration in liquidity or a strategic decision to consolidate trading resources. The delisted pairs involve multiple assets: BIGTIME (a gaming token), CTK (a DeFi token), JST (a blockchain financial services token), ZEN (a privacy coin), GUN (a gaming project), as well as BTC, ETH, and stablecoins like USDC and USDT paired with fiat-pegged tokens (EURI, PLN). The removal of BTC/EURI and BTC/PLN may impact European users who rely on euro-based and zloty-based trading pairs.
User Actions and Alternatives
Binance assures that users can still trade the underlying assets through other trading pairs. For example, BIGTIME can be traded against USDT, and BTC remains available against USDT, FDUSD, BNB, and other major pairs. CTK and JST holders may need to adjust to pairs like CTK/USDT or JST/USDT, which may have different liquidity profiles. The termination of spot trading bots could disrupt algorithmic strategies; traders should migrate their bots to alternative pairs before the deadline.
