- Binance removes several trading pairs while expanding listings for major cryptocurrencies.
- Exchange reshapes markets as new crypto trading pairs launch globally.
- Binance updates platform structure with delistings, margin changes, and new listings.
Binance has announced the removal of several cryptocurrency trading pairs from its platform while simultaneously introducing new trading options, reflecting a broader adjustment in the exchange’s marketplace structure as it continues reviewing liquidity conditions, trading activity levels, and overall market performance across its spot and margin services.
In its latest platform update, Binance confirmed that two spot trading pairs will be removed after internal evaluations identified declining trading activity and reduced liquidity levels, factors that the exchange routinely monitors when deciding whether certain markets should remain active or be removed from its system.
Consequently, the exchange stated that trading for the DODO/BTC and GMT/EUR pairs will officially cease on March 13 at 3:00 a.m. UTC, a move that effectively removes these markets from Binance’s spot trading environment while users retain access to the underlying assets through other supported trading pairs available on the platform.

Margin Platform Adjustments Affect ARDR Trading
Besides the spot removals, Binance also revealed adjustments affecting its margin trading ecosystem, where the ARDR token will no longer remain available as a borrowable asset within the Cross Margin system, signaling a reduction in margin-related exposure for the asset within the exchange’s leveraged trading infrastructure.
Additionally, the ARDR/USDT trading pair will be removed from both Cross Margin and Isolated Margin services, with the delisting scheduled to take effect on March 12 at 6:00 a.m. UTC, meaning traders currently holding positions connected to the pair must manage or close those positions before the deadline arrives.
Moreover, Binance disclosed a separate infrastructure update involving the NIL token, explaining that the exchange will discontinue support for the NIL mainnet as the asset transitions toward the Ethereum-based ERC20 version, which now serves as the primary supported network within Binance’s ecosystem. As part of that change, deposits and withdrawals involving the NIL mainnet will stop on March 20 at 3:00 a.m. UTC, and the exchange advised users to complete any transfers ahead of that deadline to ensure their transactions are processed successfully before network support ends.
Binance Expands Market Access With New Crypto Trading Pairs
While several trading pairs are leaving the platform, Binance has also expanded the number of markets available for other major cryptocurrencies, highlighting a shift that replaces less active trading pairs with new markets designed to support assets currently experiencing stronger trading demand. Within the margin platform, Binance introduced the NEAR/USD1 trading pair on Cross Margin on March 10 at 8:00 a.m. UTC, providing additional leverage trading options connected to the Near Protocol ecosystem.
Furthermore, the exchange launched three additional Cross Margin trading pairs involving established cryptocurrencies, including BCH/U, NEAR/U, and TRX/U, all of which became available on March 10 at 10:00 a.m. UTC. At the same time, Binance expanded the spot market by opening trading for BCH/U, NEAR/U, NEAR/USD1, and TRX/U pairs, allowing traders to access new liquidity routes involving Bitcoin Cash, Near Protocol, and Tron across the exchange’s standard trading platform.
Additionally, Binance carried out a network upgrade involving Ethereum infrastructure during the same period, temporarily suspending deposits and withdrawals of tokens operating on the Ethereum network on March 10 at 5:55 a.m. UTC while the technical upgrade was completed. Normal operations resumed shortly after the upgrade concluded, ensuring that Ethereum-based token transactions continued without disruption once the maintenance process ended.
