Binance's delisting of 12 margin trading pairs significantly reduces liquidity and trading avenues for these specific altcoins. this removal of leverage trading options is generally a negative signal, likely leading to selling pressure on the affected tokens. while the impact is high for the specific coins, the broader market impact is medium.
The information is based on an official announcement directly from binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange.
The removal of margin trading pairs reduces utility, accessibility, and potential trading volume for the involved tokens. traders currently holding leveraged positions will likely close them before the delisting deadline (dec 4th) to avoid forced settlements, creating selling pressure. new investors will have fewer options to trade these assets, decreasing demand.
The most significant price action is expected in the period leading up to the delisting date (dec 4th) as traders close positions. while the reduction in liquidity might have a prolonged effect, the immediate and most pronounced price impact from this specific event will be short-term.
