Binance to Delist 12 Margin Pairs in Early September, Affecting SUI, AVAX and LINK

Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, plans to delist 12 margin trading pairs in early September, including pairs tied to major cryptocurrencies SUI, Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK). The move particularly affects the Bitcoin pairs of SUI, Avalanche, and Chainlink.

In a recent announcement, Binance issued a removal notice for margin trading pairs scheduled for September 3, 2026. According to the post, the affected margin trading pairs will be delisted on September 3 at 06:00 (UTC). A total of 12 Isolated Margin pairs will be delisted, five of which are also on Cross Margin.

The Isolated Margin pairs include SUI/BTC, AVAX/BTC, LINK/BTC, TNSR/USDC, SXT/USDC, TURTLE/USDC, AIXBT/USDC, BREV/USDC, USDE/USDC, WBETH/ETH, BFUSD/USDT, and BNSOL/SOL. Five pairs — TNSR/USDC, SXT/USDC, TURTLE/USDC, AIXBT/USDC, and BREV/USDC — will be delisted on Cross Margin.

Effective immediately, users may no longer be able to transfer any amount of the aforementioned assets into their Isolated Margin accounts via manual transfers or Auto-Transfer Mode.

Margin pair delistings are a routine part of exchange operations: exchanges periodically review and trim their margin offerings based on factors such as liquidity and trading activity on individual pairs. Notably, a margin pair delisting is distinct from a spot delisting — removing SUI/BTC or AVAX/BTC from margin trading does not remove the underlying tokens from the exchange, and in this case SUI, AVAX, and LINK continue to be tradeable on Binance through their other listed pairs.

Key dates for users

Binance outlined the timeline for the delisting process. On September 1 at 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will suspend isolated margin borrowing on the affected isolated margin pairs.

On September 3 at 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will close users' positions, conduct an automatic settlement, and cancel all pending orders on the affected cross and isolated margin pairs, which will then be removed from Binance Margin.

The delisting applies only to the specified margin pairs. Users can still trade the underlying assets on other trading pairs available on Binance Margin.

To avoid potential losses, Binance urges users to close their positions and/or transfer their assets from Margin Accounts to Spot Accounts before margin trading ceases on September 3 at 06:00 (UTC). Users will be unable to update their positions during the delisting process, which may take approximately 3 hours. Because positions are closed and settled automatically at delisting time, users holding open margin positions in the affected pairs face the settlement outcome without the ability to intervene, which is why the exchange emphasizes acting before the September 3 deadline.

Separately, Binance has also earmarked three crypto assets for delisting on September 3 — ICON (ICX), Secret (SCRT), and Storj (STORJ) — following a recent review. In a previous announcement, the exchange said it has decided to delist and cease trading on all spot trading pairs for these tokens on September 3 at 03:00 (UTC). Binance conducts periodic reviews of listed assets, and spot delistings of this kind mean the affected tokens will no longer be tradeable on the exchange at all — a materially different impact from the margin pair removals above.
