According to the official announcement, Binance Leverage will remove the following leveraged trading pairs on January 3, 2026 at 12:00 (UTC+8): Cross Margin Leverage: FLOW/BTC; Isolated Margin Leverage: FLOW/BTC

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform will delist the FLOW/BTC margin trading pairs on January 3, 2026, at 04:00 (UTC). This decision affects both the cross margin and isolated margin pairs. Effective immediately, users are restricted from transferring any assets of the specified pairs into their Isolated Margin accounts through manual transfers or Auto-Transfer Mode. Users with outstanding liabilities in these tokens can only transfer up to the amount of their liabilities, minus any existing collateral. On January 2, 2026, at 14:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will suspend isolated margin borrowing for these pairs. The following day, at 04:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will proceed to close users’ positions, conduct automatic settlements, and cancel all pending orders related to the cross and isolated margin pairs. Subsequently, these pairs will be removed from Binance Margin. Despite the delisting, users can continue trading these assets through other available trading pairs on Binance Margin. During the delisting process, which may last approximately three hours, users will not be able to update their positions. Binance strongly advises users to close their positions and transfer their assets from Margin Accounts to Spot Accounts before the cessation of Margin trading on January 3, 2026, at 04:00 (UTC). The platform emphasizes that it will not be liable for any potential losses incurred during this period. Users are encouraged to manage their positions proactively to avoid any disruptions. The announcement underscores the importance of adhering to the specified timelines to ensure a smooth transition and mitigate risks associated with the delisting process.
