Binance is making changes to its trading roster again, this time pulling back three spot trading pairs and putting several cryptocurrencies under closer scrutiny.
The move is part of the exchange’s routine efforts to maintain an efficient and secure trading environment.
As of May 9, 2025, trading will end for ANIME/BNB, STRK/BTC, and THE/BTC pairs. Binance stated the decision follows an internal evaluation based on factors like low liquidity and limited trading activity. Alongside the delistings, the platform will also disable its Spot Trading Bots for these specific pairs. Users are advised to deactivate any bots tied to the affected assets to avoid unintended losses.
Despite the removal of these pairs, Binance clarified that the tokens themselves will still be available for trading through other pairs on the platform.
In a separate but related update, Binance has issued a fresh warning for six tokens that may be at risk of delisting. As part of its asset monitoring process, the exchange will tag Stella (ALPHA), Hifi Finance (HIFI), LeverFi (LEVER), Movement (MOVE), Portal (PORTAL), and Rei Network (REI) with its “Monitoring Tag” starting May 7. This designation indicates increased volatility and risk, prompting heightened oversight.
Tokens that carry the tag are subject to regular reviews and could face removal if they fail to meet Binance’s listing requirements. The exchange emphasized that the measure is intended to protect users and uphold quality standards on the platform.
