Binance axes 23 spot pairs on Jan. 9 in market quality, liquidity cleanup

Binance will remove 23 low-liquidity spot trading pairs on Jan. 9, 2026, deactivating bots while keeping the underlying tokens tradable via other pairs.

Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, announced plans to remove 23 spot trading pairs from its platform, effective January 9, 2026, at 06:00 UTC.

Binance to delist pairs

The exchange stated in an official announcement that all spot trading pairs undergo regular reviews to protect users and maintain trading quality standards. The delisting decision resulted from factors including low liquidity, insufficient trading volume, and other elements affecting market efficiency, according to the company.

The removal of the trading pairs does not eliminate access to the underlying crypto assets on the platform, Binance stated. Users will retain the ability to trade the affected assets through alternative trading pairs that remain supported on the exchange.

Binance also announced that automated spot trading bots configured for the affected currency pairs will be deactivated at the specified date and time. The exchange advised users to update or deactivate their bot settings before the deadline to prevent potential losses.

The company conducts periodic reviews of its trading pairs as part of its platform maintenance procedures, according to the statement.
