Binance Removes Multiple Margin Pairs on January 23, 2026

Binance trading interface showing charts as the exchange removes multiple margin pairs in January 2026

Binance has confirmed it will delist several margin trading pairs effective January 23, 2026 at 06:00 UTC. The affected pairs include:

  • YGG/BTC
  • ARPA/BTC
  • OGN/BTC
  • COMP/BTC
  • SUPER/BTC
  • JOE/BTC

(and additional unspecified pairs). This follows earlier margin clean-ups on January 6 and January 15, 2026, continuing Binance’s periodic review of margin market quality.

Standard Delisting Procedure

Binance will follow its usual process:

  1. Suspension of new borrowing for the affected pairs
  2. Automatic closure of all open margin positions at market price
  3. Settlement of outstanding margin loans and interest
  4. Removal of the pairs from the margin trading interface

Users with open positions in these pairs do not need to take manual action — Binance handles the closure automatically. Any resulting profit/loss will be reflected in the user’s spot wallet.

Reasons Behind the Removals

Binance states the decision is driven by:

  • Low trading volume and liquidity on these pairs
  • Insufficient market depth for safe margin trading
  • Overall goal of maintaining a high-quality trading environment

No regulatory action or specific token issues were cited in the announcement. The move aligns with Binance’s long-standing policy of periodically pruning low-activity margin markets.

Market & Trader Impact

  • Short-term liquidity shock possible on affected tokens (YGG, ARPA, OGN, COMP, SUPER, JOE)

  • Increased spot selling pressure expected from forced margin liquidations

  • Traders using cross-margin or isolated margin with these pairs should review positions before January 23

  • No direct impact on spot, futures, or funding rate markets for these tokens
