In a dual announcement impacting its spot trading offerings, cryptocurrency exchange giant Binance has unveiled a significant new listing while simultaneously removing numerous low-volume trading pairs. The exchange will list the SENT token for spot trading on January 22, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. UTC, marking it with its distinctive Seed Tag designation to indicate higher potential volatility and risk.
The listing will introduce three trading pairs: SENT/BTC, SENT/USDT, and SENT/BNB. SENT is the native utility token for the Sentinel ecosystem, a decentralized virtual private network (dVPN) and bandwidth marketplace protocol. Binance's Seed Tag system requires users to pass specific educational quizzes acknowledging the risks associated with newer projects before they can trade. The exchange notes that tokens can graduate from the Seed Tag to a standard listing as their ecosystems mature and trading volumes stabilize.
In a separate but related move, Binance announced it will delist 20 spot trading pairs effective 06:00 on January 23, 2026. The removal is part of the exchange's periodic review to maintain a high-quality trading environment, citing criteria such as low liquidity and insufficient trading volume. The affected pairs are: AI/BTC, ALLO/BNB, APE/BTC, AUCTION/BTC, BOME/FDUSD, DYDX/FDUSD, ENA/BNB, FIL/ETH, ID/BTC, KITE/BNB, LDO/BTC, LRC/ETH, NMR/BTC, PENGU/FDUSD, PNUT/BTC, PYR/BTC, STRK/FDUSD, XVG/ETH, YFI/BTC, and ZIL/ETH.
Binance officials emphasized that the delisting does not affect the overall accessibility of the underlying tokens on Binance Spot, as they remain available through other trading pairs. However, the exchange will also terminate its Spot Trading Bots services for these specific pairs, urging users to update or disable their bots to prevent potential losses. Market analysts view these regular delistings as a critical measure to ensure a healthier market and protect investors from high-risk, illiquid pairs.
