Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its decision to remove several liquidity pools from its Binance Liquid Swap platform.
This strategic move, set to take effect by December 6, involves discontinuing major pairs such as Polygon (MATIC), Solana (SOL), Tron (TRX), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Avalanche (AVAX), and Polkadot (DOT).
Details of Liquidity Pool Removal
Binance Liquid Swap, a platform enabling users to provide liquidity and earn rewards while facilitating easy token swapping, will witness the removal of crucial liquidity pools.
Notable pairs to be eliminated include AVAX/USDT, BCH/BNB, BCH/USDT, DOT/BNB, MATIC/BTC, SHIB/DOGE, SOL/BNB, TRX/USDT, and USDC/USDT.
Implications for Users
Effective from December 4 at 04:00 UTC, users will be unable to add liquidity to the mentioned pools. Additionally, individuals holding positions in these pools will automatically receive their deposited assets in their spot wallets by December 6.
Binance reiterated its commitment to optimizing trading experiences for users by periodically reviewing and consolidating listed liquidity pools. The removal aims to concentrate liquidity, reduce slippage, and offer improved transaction prices on the exchange, aligning with the strategy to enhance overall user experience.
Ongoing Trend and Future Plans
This move follows earlier removals of liquidity pools including major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), BNB, Cardano (ADA), and others.
Furthermore, Binance has been strategically adjusting its offerings, recently including the removal of support for stablecoin BUSD by February 2024 and discontinuing support for several other tokens in October.
