Binance has announced that it will remove several crypto tokens from its platform on August 26, 2024. This change will affect six tokens and their trading pairs, marking a big shift in what the platform offers. The Titan crypto exchange will also make a major update, removing and stopping trading for all spot pairs of six tokens starting on August 26, 2024, at 11:00 UTC+8.
This decision is part of the exchange’s regular review to make sure all listed digital assets meet their high standards and comply with industry changes. The trading pairs being removed include CVP/USDT, EPX/USDT, FOR/BTC, FOR/USDT, LOOM/BTC, LOOM/TRY, LOOM/USDT, REEF/TRY, REEF/USDT, and VGX/USDT.
After August 26, all open orders for these pairs will be automatically removed. Deposits of these tokens won’t be credited to accounts after August 27, 2024, at 03:00 UTC. Withdrawals for these tokens will be stopped after November 26, 2024, at 03:00 UTC. Binance may convert the delisted tokens into stablecoins for users starting November 27, 2024.
The impact of this delisting also affects other Binance services. Binance Simple Earn will remove these tokens after August 22, 2024, with automatic redemption for Flexible and Locked Products. The auto-invest feature for these tokens will end after August 20, 2024.

Impact on Binance Loans and VIP Services
Binance Loans and VIP Loan services involving LOOM, REEF, and EPX will close all outstanding loan positions by August 20, 2024. Users are strongly advised to repay any loans before this date to avoid potential losses. Additionally, the Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot will stop working for LOOM/USDT and REEF/USDT pairs on August 19, 2024.
While this delisting affects many services, the USDⓈ-M LOOMUSDT and REEFUSDT Perpetual Contracts trading will continue as usual. This shows the complex nature of cryptocurrency trading and how exchanges manage their different products.
