Introduction
On October 21, 2025, Binance announced significant changes to its margin trading offerings. Beginning October 23, 2025, at 06:00 UTC, Binance will delist specific margin trading pairs, specifically GALA/BTC for both cross and isolated margin trading. This announcement affects traders holding positions in these pairs and signals important actions requiring immediate attention.
Details of Delisting
Affected Margin Trading Pairs
The following trading pairs will be affected by this delisting:
- Cross Margin Pair: GALA/BTC
- Isolated Margin Pair: GALA/BTC
Traders should note that effective immediately, manual transfers of assets for these pairs into isolated margin accounts will no longer be possible. Users holding outstanding liabilities in these tokens can only transfer amounts up to their liabilities, excluding any collateral already available in their margin accounts.
Timeline for Actions
The delisting process is characterized by the following key dates:
- October 22, 2025, at 06:00 UTC: Suspension of isolated margin borrowing for the GALA/BTC pair.
- October 23, 2025, at 06:00 UTC: Closure of user positions, automatic settlement, and cancellation of pending orders for both the cross and isolated margin pairs. At this time, these pairs will be officially removed from Binance Margin.
Traders are strongly encouraged to finalize any positions or transfer assets from Margin Accounts to Spot Accounts ahead of this deadline, as the delisting process might take around three hours.
Recommendations for Users
To minimize risk and potential losses during the delisting process, Binance advises the following:
- Close any open positions in the affected pairs before the delisting.
- Transfer assets from margin accounts to spot accounts in advance of the cessation of margin trading.
Binance will not be liable for any losses incurred during this transitional period.
Conclusion
Binance’s decision to delist specific margin trading pairs reflects ongoing changes in their service offerings and aims to streamline user experiences. It serves as a vital reminder for traders to actively manage their investments and stay informed.
