Bitcoin Exchange Binance Delisted Numerous Altcoins from Its Futures Trading Platform

Binance has announced it will be delisting certain trading pairs from its margin trading platform. According to the exchange’s statement, various $USDC trading pairs will be delisted from both cross-margin and isolated margin trading platforms on May 15, 2026, at 09:00 AM.

The cross-margin trading pairs to be removed include LSK/$USDC, HEI/$USDC, GMX/$USDC, BIGTIME/$USDC, and MAV/$USDC. On the isolated margin side, support for HEI/$USDC and BIGTIME/$USDC trading pairs will end.

Binance has stated that users will no longer be able to transfer assets for relevant trading pairs to isolated margin accounts via manual or automated transfer methods. However, users with outstanding balances will be able to continue transferring funds up to their current obligations. The company also announced that borrowing transactions for these isolated margin pairs will be suspended as of May 13, 2026.

The exchange announced that user positions would be automatically closed during the delisting process on May 15th, settlement procedures would be carried out by the system, and all pending orders would be canceled. The delisting process is expected to last approximately three hours, during which time users will not be able to update their positions.

Binance advised investors to close their positions or transfer their assets to spot accounts before margin trading ends to avoid potential losses. The company also emphasized that it would not be responsible for any potential losses that may occur during the delisting process.

Cryptocurrency exchanges sometimes remove certain trading pairs due to low liquidity, declining trading volume, or risk management policies. Binance’s latest move is seen as part of its strategy to create a more efficient and sustainable trading environment in the margin market.
