- Users are advised to close positions and move assets early to avoid forced liquidation or automatic conversion.
Leading crypto exchange Binance announced on Wednesday it will remove all spot trading pairs for StaFi (FIS), REI Network (REI) and Voxies (VOXEL) on December 17 at 03:00 UTC. The crypto exchange said the decision followed a routine review process intended to keep listings aligned with operational, security and regulatory standards. The delisting affects spot markets and will ripple across several Binance products in the weeks ahead.
Binance to Remove Spot Trading of StaFi, REI, Voxies
Binance said it conducts periodic assessments of every listed token to determine whether projects continue to meet a “high level of standard and industry requirements.” Criteria include the development team’s commitment, trading volume and liquidity, the quality of development activity and network security. The exchange also factors in public communication, community engagement, changes to tokenomics and responsiveness to due diligence requests.
Open spot orders for FIS, REI and VOXEL will be canceled when trading halts and Trading Bots for those pairs will be terminated at the same time. Spot Copy Trading positions will be delisted earlier, on December 10 at 03:00 UTC. After that cutoff, outstanding assets may be force-sold at market price or moved to users’ Spot Accounts if amounts are unsellable.
The timetable for other services runs into early 2026. Deposits of the three tokens will not be credited after December 18 at 03:00 UTC, while withdrawals will remain available until February 16, 2026 at 03:00 UTC. Binance said it may convert remaining token balances into stablecoins after February 17, 2026 if withdrawals prove infeasible, but conversions are not guaranteed and would be announced separately.
Several Binance features will be affected. Simple Earn positions tied to the tokens will be closed on December 10 at 07:00 UTC if users do not redeem them. Binance Pool will stop mining support on December 9. VIP Loan and Flexible Loan products will close outstanding loan positions on December 9 at 07:00 UTC. Margin pairs will be removed on December 9 at 10:00 UTC after borrowings are suspended earlier that week. Portfolio Margin holdings left after removal will be automatically liquidated and converted to USDT, with proceeds added to users’ balances.
Futures contracts linked to the tokens will remain tradable, the exchange said, though Binance warned it may impose protective measures to limit risk. Those measures could include adjustments to leverage, margin requirements and index components or changes to funding rates to manage periods of extreme volatility.
Other services will be phased out on staggered dates. Convert will delist associated pairs on December 17 at 02:00 UTC and Convert Low-Value Assets will act on December 16 at 02:00 UTC. Buy and Sell Crypto will remove the tokens on December 4. Gift Card and Binance Pay support will end between December 4 and December 17.
Binance reiterated that delisting reviews are driven by legal and compliance concerns, market risk from low liquidity or capitalization, continuity issues such as absent teams or halted development, and ethical concerns including fraudulent practices. The exchange said it contacts project teams during reviews but does not publicly disclose delisting decisions in advance.
The delistings highlight stricter scrutiny from exchanges and regulators as the market addresses sustainability and compliance. Listings are no longer a simple signal of long-term viability. Exchanges increasingly act as gatekeepers, reducing exposure to assets that fail to demonstrate sustained development, transparency or market activity.
The removal of these crypto could force project teams to reassess roadmaps and investor relations. For smaller token issuers, the risk is immediate: diminished liquidity and reduced access to mainstream markets. Industry participants say clearer governance, ongoing development and transparent communication are necessary for relisted tokens to regain exchange support urgently.
Users holding FIS, REI or VOXEL are advised to review positions, cancel automated strategies and move assets ahead of the deadlines to avoid forced sales or liquidations.
