Binance Removes Four USDC Spot Trading Pairs on September 18
According to BSCN, the affected markets are being removed based on Binance’s regular assessment of trading conditions. The exchange said its review considers factors including liquidity, trading volume and other market considerations.
Four USDC Markets to Be Removed
The affected Spot pairs are:
- BREV/USDC
- COOKIE/USDC
- LA/USDC
- QNT/USDC
Binance is scheduled to discontinue trading in all four markets at the same time on September 18 at 11:00 a.m. UTC+8.
The change applies specifically to the listed USDC trading pairs. It does not constitute a removal of the underlying tokens from Binance’s Spot platform.
Users who trade these assets against USDC will therefore no longer be able to use the four specified markets once trading closes. The source did not indicate any changes to the availability of the assets through other supported trading pairs.
Binance Cites Periodic Market Review
Binance said its periodic review evaluates liquidity, trading volume and other market factors when determining whether individual Spot markets should remain available.
Such reviews can result in specific trading pairs being discontinued without necessarily affecting the broader listing status of the associated assets.
In this case, the decision concerns BREV, COOKIE, LA and QNT markets paired with USDC. BSCN reported that the four tokens themselves will remain available on Binance Spot through other supported markets.
The distinction is relevant for traders because the removal of a single quote-asset pair does not automatically mean that an asset has been delisted from the exchange.
USDT Pairs Remain Available
Following the closure of the four USDC markets, each affected token will continue to have access to other supported markets, including USDT pairs, according to BSCN.
The availability of alternative markets means the reported change is limited to the specified USDC pairs rather than the complete removal of BREV, COOKIE, LA or QNT from Binance Spot.
Binance did not disclose additional details in the source post regarding changes to the tokens' other trading markets.
The four USDC markets are scheduled to close on September 18 at 11:00 a.m. UTC+8, marking the effective time for the latest adjustment described in Binance’s periodic market review.
