Binance will remove several cross-margin and isolated-margin trading pairs involving Ripple’s XRP, Bitcoin Cash, and Avalanche on March 27, with the process expected to take around three hours.
The exchange said the move will affect pairs including XRP/BNB, BCH/USD1, AVAX/USD1 and others, while also restricting user transfers and limiting trading flexibility during the delisting window.
“Exclusive immediately, users will no longer be able to transfer any amount of assets of the aforementioned pair(s) via manual transfers and Auto-Transfer Mode into their Isolated Margin accounts,”
The announcement reads.
Binance warned that users may be unable to adjust or close positions during the delisting process, creating potential exposure to market volatility as trading functionality is temporarily constrained.
Prices of affected tokens have edged lower, with XRP down 3%, BCH slipping 2%, and AVAX also declining, although the broader crypto market downturn appears to be the dominant driver of losses.
Earlier in March, Binance removed 21 smaller altcoins including WorldShards and Hyperbot, triggering sharp declines of up to 80% in some cases, followed by further delistings such as Loopring and Radiant Capital where losses were more moderate.
Conversely, Binance listings continue to provide strong upside catalysts, as seen when Centrifuge surged more than 60% after new trading pairs were introduced, highlighting the exchange’s influence on liquidity and market sentiment.
At the time of reporting, XRP price was $1.42.
