Here we go again, binance exchange decided to delist 30 different types of trading pairs on its platform and six of those trading pairs involve tokens launched on Binance Launchpad Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) platform, namely BitTorrent, Elrond, Harmony and WINk.
The trading pairs are mostly TUSD and USDC pairs and Binance claimed that the pairs were being removed to improve liquidity and user trading experience and that the choice of trading pairs was as requested by most project teams.

Why would the project teams want such? what am i missing here? anyone?

Let's put this one the main aims of the team.
Those teams were creating such request to binance to do that and in my understand if those coins are facing a big problem due to the decrease of the daily trade volume. The teams are thinking if they can put only in a few trading pair and there will be a chance to build good liquidity in the market.

Remember about the various kind of trading pairs will be dividing the total volume into the small parts.

That's why even ERD and bittorrent created such request for binance.
To make the trade volume becomes centralized and those projects hope if this will increase the liquidity.

They are aware about the possibility of big spread that will be created due to the low daily trade volume and big spread between buying and selling order. In that situation, the token can be dumped easily.

If you are someone who owns an exchange platform, it would make sense to remove pairings that does not generate enough volume. Why maintain something that is no longer beneficial to the platform? It should not be a problem for the affected pairings also. I believe they still have the option to request again once there is consistent demand for another pairing.

Those trading pairs have low volume right now. That's why binance has decided to delist those trading pairs. I think this is not a bad dession. Because binance is one of the top exchange in the crypto market. They are improving the quality of the exchange. The next thing is other binance listed coin's projects are work and update day by day to get more volume of their coins.

They have a good point and I think it is a good idea so there will be more opportunities to traders because some pairs are really just a waste because few people use it to trade.

I personally think this is a very nice initiative from Binance. Time to time clean up is absolutely necessary. Why wasting platform with non performing assets. Instead give opportunity to new ones which might shine.

It means that Harmony, Wink, Elrond and so on will not be delisted but only there will be less pairs to trade? That is not a problem definetely because you can switch between BTC and USD instantly :).

If the exchanges have a low volume trade, the exchanges will delist the coin/tokens because they think that they cannot make a profit from those coins/tokens. It's normal to see that, and if you remember, the other exchanges were already delisting the other coins too because of the low volume trade. We will see another delist from the exchanges in the future so that's good for the exchanges itself because they can get a fresh list to make a profit.

that is normal. shitcoins come and die to disappear from the face of the market. if it wasn't happening then the number of existing coins would have been in 4 digits instead of being 2k something.
the most interesting thing about this particular delisting is the fact that a lot of the dead shitcoins are the tokens they were advertising as IEOs on their platform and were supposed to be better than the rest of the shitty ICOs. you can see now that there really isn't any difference even though they changed the name from ICO to IEO and tried pretending there is.

I think it is mainly because of the team themselves not the Binance itself, as OP stated above.
The team is asking for this because they want the users to focus on one pair of trade instead of making a multiple order from different pair that will reduce the orders and widen the gap between the orders.
it is an old trick to maximize the volume and increase the support.


Precisely, as long as it is there. Everything is fine

I see nothing wrong with removing illiquid pairs from trading. And the fact that some of these coins with IEO Binance Launchpad makes you wonder - is there a difference between ICO and IEO?

Most of these are very cheap coins and deleting the BTC trading pair is not an issue at Binance exchange. Investors can switch to USDT for trading as this is a trading pair with a much higher liquidity than BTC. When this news came out I was very worried about the IEO projects at this exchange but when calmly researching the content, I felt that this was something that all other exchanges should do during this time.

The idea itself isn't so ba, actually it's great, the thing is that some people aren't comfortable enough using USDT (not 100% safe as you know)so they prefer trader with other Stable Coins.

Now let's get back to what Binance team did by desisting those pairs, i's GREAT MOVE i say & i wish to see only one dominant table Coin there trading against other crypto so the liquidity starts to be logic gain.

Since Binance banned USA users, we all notice a huge decrease in the daily trading volume & since Binance has a great team adapting with market conditions, i salute them for doing this move or removing these Stable Coin Pairs & make them in one (let( say USDT only).

Chill pal, those pairs that got removed on binance exchanges have no trading volumes thats why they are been removed, i trust any decisions make by binance exchange,its for the best of every traders and the projects as well, its a good move that needs to be made, hope other exchanges can learn from binance team

Today I saw this news and it is very sad. they even delisted trading pairs with BTT. they themselves have created a rush around this coin and now they are now removing the trading pair. it all looks like a hidden scam

I share your opinion that coins/tokens that do not generate enough volume should be delisted, Binance is not my main exchange, I'm checking some of the coins and tokens that they delisted in Coinmarketcap, one popular is BitTorrent https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bittorrent/
Volume (24h)
$62,717,954 USD
7,780 BTC
4,481,517,904 TRX

Does BitTorrent deserves to be delisted it has a good performance in terms of volume, am I missing something here/

some of the coins which are being delisting are newly launched Ieo i think they didnt show real development to binance team they are getting delisted

Just for the record, here is the official statement from Binance:

https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/360034580431

But I was surprised to see BTT/BTC, I mean what happened? BTT was doing good and it really alarm me that such good coin as BTT are going to be delisted right after just listing them a couple of months ago. Does it mean that it is being used for pump and dump scheme?

Bittorent and wink are tron's tokens under Justin Sun's management. On seeing this topic first, I thought it could an usual maintenance routine for an exchange whereas new tokens (Bittorent was launched last Feb 11th and this Sept 11th only wink was launched or airdropped for tron's holders). I guess all the tron holders must need to wake up now at least. But, with recent down surge of BTC, Tron must be one of the coin which performed well. Still, not sure what are the plans Sun is having.

We need to accept those decisions of centralized authorities are making and need to understand that this is how exchanges are working. They clearly mention one of the reason as "to improve liquidity and user trading experience". So, we must need to assume like it would be for "better binance".

Actually it was very good when we looked at it. For low-value coins against BTC, such as WIN, NPXS, DENT, BTT, trading became increasingly difficult. So think about the WIN / BTC parity was between 1-2 sats. If you bought WIN for 1 satoshi when you sold at 2 sats would be 50% profit, but it would require a lot of trading for that. The same goes for the others.

But there is one more bad thing. WIN had already dropped to 1 satoshi. In 8 decimal with 1 satoshi, the last point for trade in Binance. Now there is a chance to fall further against the USD.

its good news for this coins, because more comfortable trade on usd pairs then 1-2 sat to BTC. Priced have more place for move. Also there are traders who trade only on fiat pairs.

In my opinion, it is a great decision, because they need to support the liquidity of each trading pair and if you have several pairs with low trading volume on such a huge exchange as Binance, you need to take action, to stay on the same level.

I'm not sure if you misunderstood what was in the OP. BTT wasn't delisted. Only the BTT/BTC pairing was removed. I went to the Binance twitter page and see reactions on the BTT?BTC pair removal, here's one user has to say:

https://twitter.com/subsidieland/status/1178559889171460096

Yes, trading at 2 sats will not help the coin to increase its price and even it is not a good idea because most of the people will afraid to trade them in BTC. Now it is better option for trading them in USDT pairs because we might see price movement compared to Satoshi.

Wow i didn't expect that. Especially for BitTorrent, Elrond, Harmony and WINk. Success on IEO hosted by binance, listed by binance but delisted by binance too. I think it will makes the price of these coins crash. For people who hold these coins, be careful.

I was quite surprised to know Binance delist the BTC pairs of IEOs even recent IEOs like those of Wink. This action and the fact that Binance will only conduct IEO once a month proves that Binance will select projects more carefully, which also shows that the IEO Trend is regressing.

It's only delisting trading pair of some coin, i think that is good idea becuse some pair have a low volume. So i think it's not effect to the coin price.

Binance is becoming too crowded from all these stablecoin pairs. They should focus on just a few stablecoin pair while make other stablecoin tradeable with the reference stablecoins. I think this move is an start to implement that. If BitTorrent is tradable with 5 other USD fixed stablecoin, it's not necessary to pair it with two more.

I'm also surprised to hear this. even ONE has also experienced a significant decline after this news was announced.
which is my question, is it removed from binance will it also be deleted from the  binance DEX trade?
or all tokens that use BEP-2 will still be traded on the  binance DEX?

It always do on any exchanges, if there is not enough volume then it is time to delist it.
There are more tokens who have better demand that can be listed on that space.
That is what cryptocurrency is about the volume and demand.

I share the same argument this a bad precedent, BitTorrent is enjoying a very good volume now they are delisting for that useless reason, developers will now have second thought if Binance is the right exchange for them to launch their IEO since they are going to delist their coin even if they have a good volume and moving up.

The delisting of these pairs had help the price of BTC to go up I guess. Its not a bad decision all along :)

I'm somehow not happy to see some of the coins I hold were included in the list which had dropped due to it. I see it a reason to buy more of it if there were just updated from the team, an intervention probably.

Just looked at those pairs delisted, apart from these 3 trading pairs that is well utilized, BTC, BNB and Ether, the others is sparingly used. I don't think it is fair to be devoting technical resources to pairs people are not interested in using, if this move is going to concentrate liquidity good for the project.

It feels bad to me that because I did not think this before that Such an exchange as Binance, where 1 satoshi coins will be traded once a day. Anyway, These coins have been falling in price long ago but again after the BTC pair delisted, it again fell. And I think a lot of traders have lost huge money from these coins.

I think binance should delist tons of coins because of the low volume they have. For example we see WINK, lots of hype, Tron backed and tons of money behind it, However 1-2 BTC volume.
 I do not understand why exchanges keep these coins there. They should delist more to make other succesful ones get more volume.

This is my main take from all of this, people have been claiming that ieos will be way better than icos and we are seeing that is not the case, it doesn't matter how much the developers of a coin try to hype their coins the issue is that no one is interested in those projects anymore, if they really want to develop something then they can do it for free as satoshi did and then release a finished product to the world, if they cannot do that they cannot expect us to care about their projects.

Even binance is delisting some pair maybe if its a loss of binance. But I think it will be good for its customers as those dead coins are not needed anymore in that big exchange. Of course, they can be traded in other smaller exchanges and be active again. But I really support this delisting procedure, we need coins with high volumes only.

This usually happen because of low trade volume on those pairs, and another time when developers don't constantly honor terms and conditions. For me, I will prefer  BTC, ETH, stablecoin. Anything aside these I may never trade. Funny I trade BTC pair 99.9% of my trade.

They removed only the trading pairs but not the tokens themselves. It's completely different. These trading pairs were not in demand and the decision was not long in coming. I think it's normal. But the tokens themselves are traded on the site.

By the look of it, they decided to remove the pair where there is not much volume and some coins where the price of tokens was in single sats digit so I guess their decision was not that bad.

It may be delisting in some stablecoin pairs because of the many types of stablecoin so that binance may decide to concentrate on just a few stablecoin pairs. This is only delisting in stablecoin pairs and not in delisting tokens, in my opinion normal thing

In decentralized entities they can alter anything as they want so we cannot stop this happening and this could be an answer for the people who were going behind IEOs from big exchanges they are still in risk of going into shit coins.But there project teams asked so exchange is supposed to do what they were requesting and only stable trading pairs won't hurt the cap value of coin.

OMG! almost six trading pairs removed on Paxos Standard (PAX) coin. But i think a lot of pairs really valueless. I missed NPXS/BTC pair this is highest trading pair for Pundi X (NPXS). But this project gradually dumping 12 satoshi to 3 satoshi right now. That's why NPXS BTC trade pair removed for the project liquidity. LUN/ETH pair was something effective for trading i think.  DOGE/FAX,ERD/PAX and PHB/PAX worst trading pairs ever in that case good decision. 

It is important to realize that they are not delisting cryptocurrencies but pairs.
If they delist some cryptocurrencies that would mean that these cryptocurrencies are no more interesting and profitable for Binance. People will sell these cryptocurrencies in a fear that they bought bad ones.

To be honest, I prefer to trade the altcoin pairs with the ETH and BTC, stable coin pairs are the fastest option for liquidating the altcoin holdings. Binance made the right decision for increasing the liquidity on the main altcoin pairs, only some traders choose the USDC or Tether pairs for trading. The day traders are the main driver of the daily liquidity and removing the less liquid pairs will help them from my experience.

Or perhaps pairs with btc, eth and usd. Those three were enough to pair with altcoins on the exchange and not with so many bunch of other more like ltc, tether or even their token's exchange. Most of the popular coins has like 8-10 pairings which is really the culprit behind it's good liquidity. Binance should have known this and implemented strictly from the start.

TUSD and USDC are not as popular as USDT. This is probably the reason why trading pairs with these stablecoins have very low volumes and are finally taken out of trading one after another. Last time, there was also a batch of delisted trading pairs with a long list of pairs even including BTC and ETH. But the coins listed in the OP are rather new so there is also the factor that they have yet to attract many traders.

It's misleading. The article is making it seem like that Binance is turning on the tokens which it sold on its launchpad, but that's really not the case.

All they've seen here is that the cost of maintaining a market such traded against TUSD far outweighs any benefit it brings, or that it clogs up their interface. I doubt that their plains is to actually delist the coin that they IEO'd in the past completely, since the majority of these coins they are delisting can be still traded against BNB/BTC.

So we've not come to that stage yet. It's not like these pairs were terribly important anyways since USDT were far more popular compared to the other stablecoin listings.
