Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced plans to delist specific margin trading pairs involving Bitcoin (BTC) on July 8th, 2024. This move affects both cross and isolated margin pairs, impacting DigiByte (DGB), Alien Worlds (TLM), and Voxies (VOXEL).
Understanding the Delisting:
- The delisting specifically targets pairs where Bitcoin serves as the quote currency. In simpler terms, users were trading DGB, TLM, and VOXEL using Bitcoin as the benchmark for their value.
- This impacts traders who utilize Bitcoin’s relative stability as a reference point for trading more volatile cryptocurrencies. By delisting these pairs, Binance potentially reduces flexibility for users to trade these tokens directly against Bitcoin.
What This Means for Users:
- Users who hold positions in the affected pairs (DGB/BTC, TLM/BTC – both cross and isolated margin, VOXEL/BTC – isolated margin only) need to take action to avoid potential losses.
- Binance recommends closing these positions and transferring assets from Margin Wallets to Spot Wallets before margin trading ceases on July 8th, 2024 (06:00 UTC).
- The exchange emphasizes user responsibility for managing positions before the deadline and will not be liable for any losses incurred.

Important Considerations:
- While direct trading with Bitcoin is being removed, these assets (DGB, TLM, VOXEL) can still be traded on other available pairs within the Binance Margin platform.
- This delisting reflects Binance’s ongoing efforts to optimize its platform for a streamlined user experience. They regularly review products to ensure alignment with market demands, regulations, and user needs. This often involves removing pairs with low liquidity or minimal market interest.
What to Do Now:
- Binance users with positions in the affected pairs should review their holdings and consider closing them before the deadline.
- Explore alternative trading options for DGB, TLM, and VOXVoxel using other available pairs on the Binance Margin platform.
- Stay informed by checking Binance’s official announcements for further details and updates.
