AAVE

Fact Check
The assessment is primarily based on the high-authority, high-relevance evidence from the official Binance Announcements Telegram channel. This primary source directly confirms that a spot trading pair delisting is scheduled for the exact date mentioned in the statement, January 13, 2026. While the summary of this source does not specify the exact number of pairs (20), it confirms the core details of the event and the date, making the statement highly credible.The other official Binance sources, such as the Binance Support Center and Binance Square, do not contradict this information. They reference other listing or delisting events on different dates, which is expected for a major exchange and does not invalidate the specific claim about January 13. The source from Bybit is correctly disregarded as it is an irrelevant competitor. The confidence is high because the key information is corroborated by an official Binance communication channel. The small probability of falsehood accounts for the fact that the specific number of pairs ('20') is not explicitly confirmed in the provided source summaries.
Summary

Binance announced it will remove and halt trading of 20 spot pairs, such as AAVE/FDUSD and ARB/FDUSD, at 03:00 UTC on January 16, 2026, as part of a market adjustment. Trading bot functions for these pairs will be terminated alongside the delisting, but the involved tokens will remain tradable through other available pairs on the platform.
