On January 2nd, Binance revealed new changes set to take place for the Romanian Leu (RON) spot trading on the exchange. The announcement involves the USDC/RON spot trading pair and comes following a previous note about the delisting of the BTC/RON spot trading pair today.
Binance to delist USDC/RON pair
The biggest crypto exchange in the world announced that it will delist USDC/RON on January 9 at 08:00 (UTC) from Binance Spot.
Starting January 9, the following will take place:
- All remaining RON balances in users' spot accounts will no longer be usable for trading.
- All open spot orders for USDC/RON will be automatically closed when trading stops.
The crypto exchange added that users will still be able to buy crypto with their RON balances via Buy Crypto and Convert. Also, P2P services will continue to operate normally, allowing users to engage in peer-to-peer transactions.
Binance delisted the BTC/RON pair on January 2nd
This announcement came after Binance previously revealed that it planned to delist the BTC/RON spot trading pair on January 2nd, at 03:00 (UTC). The exchange also terminated the trading bots' services for the BTC/RON pair at the same time.
Binance's decision came following its regular review process targeted at maintaining a high-quality trading environment. The exchange decided to delist the BTC/RON trading pair due to poor liquidity and trading volume.
These latest announcements came after the crypto exchange had previously revealed new fiat service providers for EEA and non-EEA users in 2026. Binance suspended some payment methods on December 29 and revealed that its service provider, Bifinity UAB, was set to stop its services to all users on December 31.
The latest changes made by the crypto exchange for Romanian and EU users might be due to the MiCA crypto framework implementation in the region. The crypto exchange hasn't received a MiCA license yet, despite multiple efforts.
