Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has announced the addition of new trading pairs, including SOL/USDC, XRP/USDC, ADA/USDC, and MATIC/USDC. This expansion is set to take effect on December 28 and may positively impact the prices of the involved digital assets by increasing liquidity and accessibility. Listing on Binance could also contribute to the perceived credibility and legitimacy of these tokens, potentially boosting investor confidence.

Following the announcement, Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA) have seen price increases, while Polygon (MATIC) has experienced a significant 20% jump in valuation. In contrast, delisting assets from major exchanges can have negative effects on token prices, as demonstrated by the recent removal of several trading pairs from Binance.
