As 2025 draws to a close, Binance is making another adjustment to its trading lineup, underscoring how large exchanges regularly recalibrate products before entering a new cycle. The crypto exchange said it will scrap several spot and margin trading pairs linked to the First Digital USD stablecoin on January 6. The change affects Bitcoin Cash, TAO, Avalanche, Litecoin, Sui, Cardano, and Chainlink. Despite the breadth of tokens involved and Binance’s dominant position in global trading volumes, markets showed little immediate reaction, suggesting the move is being treated as operational rather than market-moving. The decision adds to a steady stream of listing and delisting announcements from Binance in recent months, reflecting a broader effort to manage liquidity, risk, and platform structure. Pairs removed in January Binance confirmed that FDUSD spot and margin pairs for Bitcoin Cash, TAO, Avalanche, Litecoin, Sui, Cardano, and Chainlink will be removed on January 6. The delisting applies to both cross-margin and isolated margin trading pairs. The exchange did not provide a reason for the decision. While Binance regularly reviews trading pairs based on factors such as liquidity and usage, no specific criteria were cited in this announcement. Margin restrictions already active Ahead of the delisting date, Binance has already introduced changes affecting margin account activity. Users are no longer able to move assets linked to the affected pairs into isolated margin accounts through manual transfers or Auto-Transfer Mode. Users with outstanding liabilities tied to these tokens may still make manual transfers, but only up to the value of their liabilities and after deducting any available collateral. These limits are intended to reduce risk exposure as the margin products linked to FDUSD are phased out. The defining feature across all the removed trading pairs is their connection to the First Digital USD stablecoin. No other stablecoin pairs were included in this round of removals, placing the focus squarely on FDUSD rather than on the underlying cryptocurrencies themselves. Following the announcement, prices across the affected tokens showed minimal volatility, according to market data. The subdued response contrasts with earlier delistings where price declines followed quickly, suggesting traders viewed this move as largely technical. Recent Binance listing activity The FDUSD delisting follows recent changes to Binance’s spot trading offerings. Around one week earlier, the exchange opened spot trading for Cardano and several other cryptocurrencies, though the service was unavailable to users in jurisdictions such as the US, Canada, Cuba, Iran, and the Netherlands. Prices for Cardano and some other listed tokens rose after that announcement. Earlier in December, Binance announced the removal of StaFi, REI Network, and Voxies, with prices of those assets falling after the news. In October, the exchange terminated services for Flamingo, Kadena, and Perpetual Protocol. Kadena’s valuation dropped following that statement, according to price records.
