Binance is removing four USDC spot trading pairs from its platform as part of its latest periodic market review. The exchange has scheduled the removal of BREV/USDC, COOKIE/USDC, LA/USDC and QNT/USDC for September 18 at 03:00 UTC, which corresponds to 11:00 a.m. UTC+8.
Binance stated that decisions to remove spot trading pairs are based on multiple factors, with low liquidity and trading volume being particularly prominent, and that it periodically reviews market conditions and user experience for all listed pairs.
The cleanup spans distinct sectors, removing interoperability middleware protocol Quant ($QNT), zero-knowledge coprocessor Brevis (BREV), Web3 AI data analytics platform CookieDAO (COOKIE), and decentralized AI verification protocol Lagrange (LA).
Holders of the affected tokens do not need to move assets off the exchange. Binance explicitly stated that removing a spot pair "does not affect the availability of the tokens on Binance Spot," and that customers can continue trading the base and quote assets through other supported markets after the USDC pairs close.
BREV, for example, continues to have a BREV/USDT market on Binance, and COOKIE retains a COOKIE/USDT spot market on the exchange. USDT-denominated alternatives remain in place for all four tokens.
Spot Trading Bots tied to the affected USDC pairs will also terminate simultaneously at the removal deadline. Users running automated strategies on these pairs should update or close their bots before the cutoff to avoid disruption.
