Binance to Delist Seven Spot Trading Pairs, Including Litecoin and Sui Markets

Binance will remove seven spot trading pairs from its platform on August 21, with Litecoin and Sui among the better-known cryptocurrencies affected by the latest trading market update.

The exchange said trading for F/USDC, HIVE/USDC, ILV/USDC, LTC/BNB, NMR/USDC, STEEM/USDC and SUI/BNB will cease at 03:00 UTC on August 21, 2026. Binance published the notice on August 18 as part of its regular review of listed spot trading markets.

The move does not mean Binance is removing Litecoin, Sui or the other underlying assets from its Spot platform. Instead, the exchange is discontinuing specific trading pairs while leaving the affected cryptocurrencies available through other supported markets.

Binance to Remove LTC/BNB and SUI/BNB

Among the seven markets scheduled for removal, LTC/BNB and SUI/BNB are likely to attract the most attention because they involve Litecoin and Sui, two widely followed crypto assets.

Binance said its decision followed a periodic review designed to maintain a high-quality trading environment and protect users. The exchange considers several factors when reviewing spot trading pairs, including liquidity and trading volume.

The full list of spot trading pairs being removed is:

F/USDC
HIVE/USDC
ILV/USDC
LTC/BNB
NMR/USDC
STEEM/USDC
SUI/BNB

Trading on all seven markets will end simultaneously at 03:00 UTC on August 21.

For Litecoin and Sui traders, the distinction is important. The removal of LTC/BNB does not eliminate Litecoin trading on Binance, while the removal of SUI/BNB does not remove Sui from Binance Spot. Traders can continue accessing the assets through other trading pairs that remain available on the exchange.

Binance Spot Trading Bots Will Also Be Affected

The August 21 change also applies to Binance's automated trading services connected to the affected markets.

Binance confirmed that Spot Trading Bots for the seven trading pairs will be terminated at 03:00 UTC on August 21, where applicable. The exchange advised users running automated strategies on these markets to update or cancel their bots before trading support ends.

This is particularly relevant for traders who use automated orders rather than managing positions manually. A bot configured specifically for one of the delisted pairs may no longer operate as intended after Binance stops supporting that market.

Users should therefore review their active strategies before the deadline and make any necessary changes to avoid unexpected trading issues or potential losses.

Why Binance Regularly Removes Trading Pairs

Binance periodically reviews the trading pairs listed on its exchange rather than maintaining every market indefinitely.

According to the exchange, factors such as poor liquidity and trading volume can contribute to a decision to remove a spot trading pair. The broader objective is to maintain market quality and provide users with trading markets that meet Binance's internal standards.

A trading-pair delisting should therefore not automatically be interpreted as a decision to remove the underlying cryptocurrency.

In this case, Litecoin, Sui, F, HIVE, ILV, NMR and STEEM remain available on Binance Spot through other supported trading markets. The change is specifically focused on the seven pairs listed in the August 18 announcement.

What Litecoin and Sui Traders Need to Know

For traders holding LTC or SUI, the immediate action is not necessarily to sell their assets.

Instead, users trading Litecoin through LTC/BNB or Sui through SUI/BNB should check which alternative markets are available before August 21. Traders using the affected pairs may need to move their activity to another supported spot market.

The same consideration applies to users trading F, HIVE, ILV, NMR or STEEM against USDC.

Binance has made clear that the spot pair removal does not affect the availability of the base and quote assets on Binance Spot.

Binance's August 21 Deadline Is Now Approaching

With the deadline set for 03:00 UTC on August 21, traders using any of the seven markets have limited time to review their positions and automated trading settings.

The most important point is that the announcement concerns trading pairs rather than a blanket removal of the cryptocurrencies involved. Litecoin and Sui will continue to have access to Binance Spot markets through other available pairs.

For users running Spot Trading Bots, however, the deadline is more immediate because Binance will terminate the relevant bot services when trading support for the affected pairs ends.

Traders should therefore review their accounts ahead of the scheduled change and ensure that any active orders, trading strategies or automated systems are adjusted accordingly.

Binance Continues Routine Market Reviews

The latest delisting is another example of Binance's ongoing approach to managing its spot market. Rather than keeping all listed pairs permanently available, the exchange evaluates individual markets and removes those that no longer meet its requirements.

For the seven pairs scheduled for removal, trading will officially cease at 03:00 UTC on August 21, 2026.

For Litecoin and Sui holders, the announcement does not signal the end of Binance support for either cryptocurrency. The key change is the removal of the LTC/BNB and SUI/BNB markets, while alternative trading pairs remain available.

Users should check Binance's latest market listings before trading and ensure any affected automated strategies are updated before the deadline.
