Binance will remove seven spot trading pairs on August 21 at 03:00 UTC: F/USDC, HIVE/USDC, ILV/USDC, LTC/BNB, NMR/USDC, STEEM/USDC and SUI/BNB. The exchange said routine market reviews consider factors including liquidity, trading volume, network stability, smart-contract security, developer commitment and responsiveness to compliance audits. Removing a spot trading pair will not delist the underlying tokens, which will remain tradable through other available markets, including routes against stablecoins or Bitcoin. Binance said the change is intended to consolidate liquidity and improve order-book depth. Spot Trading Bots assigned to the seven markets will also be halted, and users must cancel or reconfigure active strategies before the cutoff. Binance will separately delist specified cross-margin and isolated-margin pairs at 06:00 UTC on August 21, suspend Conflux Network deposits and withdrawals for an upgrade on August 24, conduct BNB Smart Chain wallet maintenance on August 20, and end Sophon deposit and withdrawal support through BNB Smart Chain on August 21.
