The cryptocurrency exchange Binance has expanded its list of trading pairs by adding new ones for PNUT and others, while removing some existing pairs.
Additional Support for PNUT
Binance added seven new pairs to Binance Spot, including PNUT/BRL and PNUT/EUR, to enhance the user's trading experience. Zero maker fees are available for ETH/EURI. Trading bot services are now available for several pairs, including ADA/USDC and DOGE/USDC. PNUT support led to a 1,400% price increase over the last two weeks due to its listing with a 'seed' tag and backing from Elon Musk.
Removal of Trading Pairs
Binance announced plans to remove some trading pairs from the spot trading feature, including DAR/BTC and RARE/BRL, starting November 22. Margin trading support for pairs such as C98/BTC and FIS/BTC will also end on November 27, due to factors like low liquidity.
Market Impact
Removal of pairs from the Binance platform often negatively affects the price of the respective digital assets by reducing accessibility and potentially causing reputational damage. Most affected tokens are in decline, with SuperRare (RARE) experiencing an 8% daily drop, currently trading around $0.11.
Binance's decision to expand trading options for PNUT and other cryptocurrencies reflects its effort to adapt to changing market conditions. The removal of certain pairs underscores the need to maintain liquidity and attractiveness.
