Binance Eliminates Three Specific Trading Pairs
Binance, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has made a series of changes to its platform. On August 15, 2025, at 03:00 UTC, the exchange delisted the spot trading pairs for ANIME, HYPER, and STO due to low liquidity and project inactivity [1][2][5]. However, the underlying tokens remain tradable via other pairs or withdrawals on Binance.
This delisting has impacted holders of these pairs, cancelling open orders and disabling related trading bots. Users are advised to update or cancel their Spot Trading Bots prior to the cessation of Spot Trading Bots services [1][5].
Simultaneously, Binance launched new perpetual contracts for AIO/USDT and XNY/USDT with up to 50x leverage, expanding its derivative offerings for these tokens. Such perpetual contracts typically attract speculative trading due to leverage options, which can increase short-term volatility and liquidity around these assets.
The delisting of ANIME, HYPER, and STO is likely to cause some price impact due to liquidity fragmentation. However, the delisted tokens remain listed on Binance under other pairs, which may mitigate extreme price declines but could reduce overall trading volume and investor confidence short-term.
On the other hand, the introduction of new leveraged perpetual contracts for AIO and XNY may enhance trading activity and volatility for those tokens. Leveraged trading can amplify price swings, potentially leading to increased trading interest.
OlaXBT (AIO) experienced a major uptick of almost 50% after the disclosure, while ANIME cryptocurrency saw a 16% daily increase following the delisting announcement [3]. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) saw an 8% increase, currently trading above $4,700, and Solana (SOL) soared by 15% to surpass $200, coinciding with the broader resurgence of many altcoins [4].
Binance also announced a zero-fee trading promotion for VIP 2-9 users and spot liquidity providers, and a promotion exclusive to new accounts registered through a specific link, covering the BNB/USDC, ADA/USDC, TRX/USDC, and XRP/USD trading pairs, which will run from August 12 until October 11 [6]. However, there is no direct link or announcement associating zero-fee trading specifically with the delisted pairs or the new AIO/USDT and XNY/USDT perpetual contracts in the provided results.
It's worth noting that the promotion does not apply to the newly launched AIO/USDT and XNY/USDT perpetual contracts [7]. The delisting does not prevent clients from trading the spot trading pairs' base and quote assets on other available trading pairs on the platform [2].
Binance does not appear to have announced any changes to the delisting of ANIME, HYPER, STO, or STO cryptocurrencies [8]. Typically, the withdrawal of support from a crypto behemoth like Binance has a negative impact on the prices of the affected cryptocurrencies [9]. However, the specific impact on the prices of ANIME, HYPER, and STO following this delisting remains to be seen.
