Binance to Delist Low Liquidity Trading Pairs for PEPE, DCR, and ZEN

Binance has announced the removal of three low-liquidity trading pairs from its platform as part of its ongoing efforts to maintain a high-quality trading market for its users. The affected pairs—DCR/BTC, PEPE/TUSD, and ZEN/ETH—will be delisted on December 13 at 03:00 (UTC).
In a statement released on December 12, Binance explained that the decision was part of its periodic review process, which evaluates trading pairs based on factors such as liquidity, trading volume, and overall market quality. The exchange removes pairs that no longer meet its standards to ensure a streamlined and effective trading experience for all users.
Binance further emphasized the importance of users taking action to prevent potential losses. “Users are strongly advised to update and/or cancel their Spot Trading Bots prior to the cessation of Spot Trading Bots services,” the announcement noted.
At the time of the announcement, the trading volume for the affected pairs was notably low. The PEPE/TUSD pair had a 24-hour trading volume of just 120,279 TUSD, while the ZEN/ETH pair saw only 16.81 ETH in volume, and the DCR/BTC pair had a modest 1.41 BTC traded over the same period.
Despite the delisting of these specific trading pairs, Binance clarified that the tokens themselves—PEPE, DCR, and ZEN—will not be removed from the platform. Users will still be able to trade these assets through other available pairs on Binance.
This action follows Binance’s recent delisting of several other spot trading pairs, including GFT/USDT, IRIS/USDT, KEY/USDT, OAX/BTC, OAX/USDT, REN/BTC, and REN/USDT, which took place on December 10.
While Binance is pruning low-liquidity pairs, it continues to expand its offerings. The exchange recently introduced perpetual trading for the SPX6900 meme coin, adding new options for traders. Binance’s strategic listings often have a significant impact on token prices, with new additions frequently experiencing a sharp surge in value. Meme coins, in particular, have been among the biggest beneficiaries of this trend.
Last month, the listing of two Solana-based meme coins, ACT and PNUT, saw explosive growth, with their market caps soaring by 1,199% and 208%, respectively. In some cases, even the announcement of an upcoming Binance listing is enough to trigger a rally. ACX, the native token of Across Protocol, surged approximately 150% on December 6 following news that it would be listed on Binance.
Binance’s ongoing efforts to refine its marketplace through regular reviews and the strategic listing of new assets underscore its commitment to maintaining a dynamic and competitive trading environment. As the exchange continues to grow, its decisions will have a significant impact on the market, influencing the liquidity and valuation of numerous cryptocurrencies.
