Impact on Other Trading Pairs

This delisting affects only the specified pairs. Binance has clarified that users can still trade these tokens through other active pairs on the platform. Users can still engage with HMSTR, SAGA, ILV, LTO, and MDT through different trading options within Binance Margin.

Why Binance is Delisting These Pairs

While Binance did not disclose specific reasons for the delisting, such decisions are typically based on factors like low trading volume and limited liquidity. Pairs with consistently low activity can create trading inefficiencies, making them less suitable for the platform. As part of its commitment to maintaining a good trading platform, Binance regularly reviews and adjusts its offerings.
