Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, made a significant announcement regarding the suspension and subsequent delisting of leveraged trading pairs. The affected pairs include BNBUP/USDT, BNBDOWN/USDT, ETHUP/USDT, ETHDOWN/USDT, BTCUP/USDT, and BTCDOWN/USDT.

All existing trading orders connected to these pairs will be automatically cancelled on February 28, 2024, at 06:00 (UTC). No new orders will be permitted.

Following the cessation of operations, Binance will proceed with the delisting process and promises to reimburse the value of these digital assets according to a specific schedule. Trading for the BNBUP/USDT pair will cease on February 28, while the delisting and asset repurchase will conclude on April 1.
