Binance, the leading cryptocurrency exchange globally, has announced its decision to delist additional spot trading pairs, including Internet Computer (ICP) and Maverick Protocol (MAV). This move, unveiled on Wednesday, is part of Binance’s broader strategy to refine its trading offerings and ensure market quality.
The delisting will affect ICP/BNB and MAV/TUSD trading pairs, which will be removed on July 19 at 03:00 UTC. Binance will also terminate its spot trading bot services for these pairs, urging users to update or cancel their bots to prevent potential financial losses.
Binance periodically reviews its listed trading pairs to protect users and maintain a high-quality trading market. Delisting decisions are influenced by factors such as liquidity and trading volume.
This announcement follows the recent introduction of new reference rates and real-time indices for Internet Computer (ICP) and Ripple’s XRP by CME and CF Benchmarks, highlighting the rapidly changing landscape of the cryptocurrency market.
Following the announcement, ICP’s price adjusted slightly, trading at $9.98 after a 6.35% rise the previous day. The 24-hour price range for ICP showed a low of $9.34 and a high of $10.29. ICP futures open interest rose by 4% in the past 24 hours. Significant buying activity was observed on CoinEx and Bybit, with volumes surging by 70% and 7%, respectively.
Maverick Protocol (MAV) also surged 6.71% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $0.2319. This indicates continued interest and volatility in the cryptocurrency market despite Binance’s adjustments.
