Binance US Delists 101 Trading Pairs Following SEC Freezing Order

The exchange confirmed no plans to resume trading for those pairs and is pausing its OTC trading portal for potentially months. 

Binance’s U.S. subsidiary announced the removal of over 100 advanced trading pairs on Wednesday and paused its OTC trading portal following legal pressure from the SEC to freeze its assets earlier this week.

Some of the targeted pairs include AAVE/USDT, COMP/USDT, EOS/USDT, and BCH/BTC. 

Binance US did not specify why the sudden pair removals were necessary, but assured users that their assets “remain safe” on the platform. The action will take effect at 12 pm EDT on June 8, and deposits and withdrawals will continue to process normally.
