One of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, Binance, has announced its decision to delist Bitcoin (BTC) trading pairs for QI, TLM, and VITE. This move, set to take effect on 6th February 2025, has sparked concern among investors. Market experts warn that removing these trading pairs could reduce liquidity and trigger price volatility.
Why is Binance Removing These Pairs?
Binance regularly reviews its trading pairs and removes those with low liquidity or declining trading volumes. In its latest statement, Binance reiterated that it continuously assesses market conditions and may remove certain pairs to ensure a better trading environment. However, the exchange clarified that QI, TLM, and VITE will not be entirely delisted. Investors can still trade these tokens via other available trading pairs on the platform.
Despite this reassurance, the removal of BTC trading pairs could impact market liquidity, making it harder for traders to execute large orders without significant price changes.
Impact on Prices and Market Sentiment
Historically, delistings from major exchanges have led to price drops due to reduced liquidity and panic selling. Binance plays a crucial role in shaping the crypto market, and past delistings have resulted in substantial market downturns for affected tokens. Investors are now questioning how this decision will impact prices. If alternative high-volume trading pairs do not emerge, QI, TLM, and VITE could experience further depreciation in the short term.

Current Market Reactions
Following the announcement, the three affected tokens saw mixed movements:
- BENQI (QI) remained stable at $0.0096, but its daily trading volume dropped 31%.
- TLM initially rose by 2%, trading at $0.0068, though its volume declined by 40%.
- VITE fell by 1.2% to $0.0070, with a significant 56% drop in trading volume. Over the past month, VITE has lost 48% of its value, and 29% in the past week alone.
What Should Investors Do?
While Binance’s decision raises concerns, panic selling may not be the best strategy. Since the tokens are not entirely delisted, investors can still trade them through other pairs. Analysts suggest that while liquidity concerns remain, long-term opportunities may still exist if demand persists in alternative markets. If the market sees heavy selling pressure, further price declines could be inevitable.
