Binance to remove 4 USDC spot pairs on Sept. 18

Binance has scheduled the removal of four USDC spot trading pairs involving BREV, COOKIE, LA and QNT for Sept. 18 at 03:00 UTC. Summary Binance will remove four USDC spot pairs on September 18 while keeping underlying tokens tradable. BREV, COOKIE, LA and QNT remain available through other Binance spot pairs after removal deadline. Spot Trading Bots tied to affected USDC pairs will terminate simultaneously at 03:00 UTC Friday. Binance cited periodic market reviews and factors including poor liquidity and trading volume levels. Binance says pair delistings do not remove assets; supported alternatives will remain available for trading. Binance’sofficial Sept. 16 announcement lists BREV/USDC, COOKIE/USDC, LA/USDC and QNT/USDC among the pairs that will stop trading following the exchange’s latest market review. The deadline corresponds to 11:00 a.m. UTC+8. The exchange said it periodically evaluates its listed spot pairs and may remove markets because of several factors, including weak liquidity and trading volume. Binance did not give a token-specific reason for any of the four removals.

Binance explicitly said removing a spot pair “does not affect the availability of the tokens on Binance Spot.” Customers can continue trading the base and quote assets through other supported markets after the four USDC pairs close. BREV, for example, continues to have a BREV/USDT market on Binance. CoinGecko currently identifies Binance’s BREV/USDT pair among the token’s more active markets, alongside trading venues including Bitunix and OKX. BREV was trading near $0.0735 in the latest CoinGecko snapshot, with roughly $3 million in global 24-hour volume. COOKIE retains a COOKIE/USDT spot market on Binance. The exchange’s trading page lists the market separately from the USDC pair scheduled for removal. COOKIE carried Binance’s Monitoring Tag in the latest available trading-page data, a designation Binance uses for assets subject to closer periodic reviews. Lagrange remains available through LA/USDT. Binance originally opened LA spot trading in July 2025 with USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD and TRY markets. The Sept. 16 announcement identifies only LA/USDC for removal and does not announce a complete Lagrange delisting. Quant similarly retains QNT/USDT on Binance. Current exchange data continue to show an active QNT/USDT order book, while CoinGecko ranks Binance among the largest individual markets for QNT trading. USDC itself is not being removed from Binance Spot under the announcement. The action concerns four individual markets quoted against the stablecoin. Trading bots will stop when the four pairs close Automated trading services connected specifically to BREV/USDC, COOKIE/USDC, LA/USDC and QNT/USDC face the same Sept. 18 deadline.
