Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced a dual set of changes to its trading platforms, involving new listings on its Spot market and the delisting of numerous pairs from its Margin trading service, both scheduled for March 5, 2026.
On the Spot trading side, Binance will introduce five new trading pairs: AVAX/U, LINK/U, LTC/U, PAXG/U, and ZEC/U. Trading for these pairs will commence on March 5, 2026, at 11:00 AM. The "U" in these pairs is understood to represent a stablecoin or quote asset, expanding trading options for Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), Litecoin (LTC), Pax Gold (PAXG), and Zcash (ZEC). Concurrently, Binance will activate its Trading Bots services and the Spot Algo Orders feature for these new pairs, allowing for automated algorithmic trading strategies.
Furthermore, Binance is launching a zero-maker-commission campaign for all eligible "U" spot and margin trading pairs. This campaign begins at the same time as the new listings (11:00 AM on March 5) and will remain in effect until further notice, aimed at boosting liquidity and user trading volume.
In a separate but related move, Binance is delisting a significant number of cross and isolated margin trading pairs. The delisting process begins with the suspension of new borrowing transactions in the affected isolated margin pairs at 09:00 on March 4, 2026. At 09:00 on March 5, 2026, all user positions in these pairs will be closed, automatic liquidations will occur, and pending orders will be canceled. The exchange warns this process may take about three hours, during which no position updates will be possible.
The delisted cross-margin pairs include CHZ/BTC, CAKE/BTC, ENA/BTC, UNI/ETH, CRV/BTC, INJ/BTC, and XTZ/BTC. The isolated margin pairs being removed are FET/BTC, OP/BTC, PAXG/BTC, CHZ/BTC, CAKE/BTC, ENA/BTC, CRV/BTC, INJ/BTC, and XTZ/BTC. Binance has advised users to close their positions or transfer assets from Margin to Spot wallets before the deadline to mitigate risks, noting that these assets will remain tradable in other pairs on Binance Margin.
