Notably, the delisting specifically targets pairs with TUSD, which Binance is reportedly phasing out due to unspecified issues. High-volume trading pairs for these cryptocurrencies with USDT, TRY, and BUSD will remain available on the exchange.

Reasons for Delisting

Binance cited its commitment to protecting users and maintaining a high-quality trading market as the primary reasons for the delisting. The exchange conducts regular reviews of all listed spot trading pairs. In this instance, factors like low liquidity and trading volume led to the delisting decision of the pairs.

Additionally, after the delisting is complete, Binance will immediately cease its Spot Trading Bots services for the affected trading pairs.

The announcement from Binance, which controls a significant portion of the global cryptocurrency market, could potentially influence the prices of the delisted tokens. Historical data suggests that delisting announcements on major exchanges can trigger price movements.

This news comes when the market is already facing uncertainty due to factors like upcoming inflation data and monthly options expiry, which may further influence investor sentiment.
