Binance announced that it will remove certain trading pairs as part of its periodic reviews of margin markets, aimed at protecting user security and maintaining a high-quality trading environment.
According to the exchange’s statement, trading in certain cross-margined and isolated trading pairs will be completely suspended from 9:00 a.m. on January 23, 2026.
Pairs of cross margins to write off include YGG/BTC,ARPA/BTCOGN/BTC, COMP/BTC, GREAT/BTCand JOE/BTC. On the isolated margin side, the following trading pairs will be removed from the platform: YGG/BTC,CELO/BTCVET/ETH, ARPA/BTCOGN/BTC,GAS/BTC, COMP/BTC, GREAT/BTCand DIA/BTC.
Immediately following the decision, Binance announced that users would no longer be able to transfer assets linked to these pairs to lower margin accounts via manual or automatic transfer modes. If users had outstanding debts tied to these tokens, they would only be able to make manual transfers for the debt amount, and existing collateral would be deducted.
According to the schedule, isolated margin lending transactions will be suspended starting January 21, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Starting January 23, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., Binance will automatically close user positions, perform automatic settlement, and cancel all pending orders. Following these processes, the trading pairs in question will be completely removed from Binance Margin.
The exchange highlighted that the delisting process could take around three hours, during which users would not be able to update their positions. To avoid potential losses, users are strongly advised to close their positions or transfer their assets from margin accounts to spot accounts before stopping margin trading. Binance also specifically stated that it would not be held responsible for any losses resulting from the process.
