Today, Binance exchange has announced the removal of specific margin trading pairs from its platform wherein Bitcoin (BTC) serves as the quote currency

Binance, one of the world’s leading crypto exchanges, has announced its intention to delist specific margin trading pairs involving Bitcoin (BTC).

Moreover, this delisting specifically affects DGB/BTC and TLM/BTC in both categories with Bitcoin as the quote currency. Meanwhile, VOXEL/BTC pair will be removed from the isolated margin category. In a notice issued to its users, Binance specified that at 06:00 a.m. UTC on Sunday, July 7, 2024, the platform will suspend isolated margin borrowing on these isolated margin pairs.

Moreover, following this, at 06:00 (UTC) on July 8, 2024, Binance Margin will automatically close users’ positions. Thereafter, it will conduct settlements and cancel all pending orders on the affected trading pairs. Once this process is completed, these pairs will be permanently removed from margin trading on the platform.

The crucial aspect of this announcement is the role of Bitcoin as the quote currency in these pairs. In the trading world, the base currency is the first currency listed in a pair, and it is the commodity being bought or sold. The quote currency, in this case, Bitcoin, is the currency in which the base currency is priced. Hence, this means that users were trading DGB, TLM, and VOXEL, with Bitcoin as the measure of value.

This delisting decision impacts traders who prefer Bitcoin as the standard measure for their trades. It represents a significant adjustment for those who use Bitcoin’s relatively stable value as a benchmark against other, more volatile cryptocurrencies. By delisting these pairs, Binance potentially reduces the flexibility for users to trade lesser-known tokens
