Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, has announced platform amendments taking effect on March 5th. The exchange will introduce new trading pairs like AVAX/U and ZEC/U while delisting several cross and isolated margin pairs. This initiative focuses on the U stablecoin, with a zero-fee promotion for eligible users. The announcement has not significantly altered cryptocurrency prices, which remain influenced by broader market movements.
Binance has prepared two actions for its trading platform that will take effect on March 5th. The exchange stated it will open trading for AVAX/U, LINK/U, LTC/U, PAXG/U, and ZEC/U pairs on that date.
Trading bots services for these pairs will be enabled simultaneously, and a zero-fee promotion is planned for eligible users on U spot and margin trading pairs. U is a stablecoin launched in late 2025 and pegged to the US dollar.
In a separate move, Binance will remove certain trading pairs that no longer meet its necessary criteria. The company detailed the delisting of cross margin pairs like CHZ/BTC and isolated margin pairs like FET/BTC.
Users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, which may take approximately three hours. “Users will no longer be able to transfer any amount of assets of the aforementioned pair(s) via manual transfers and Auto-Transfer Mode into their Isolated Margin accounts,” the company explained.
Cryptocurrencies including AVAX, LINK, LTC, and ZEC posted gains on March 3rd, likely driven by the broader market rebound. PAX Gold (PAXG) was down 4% daily following a pullback in the price of gold.
The disclosure has not weighed on the prices of the involved cryptocurrencies, as most have posted daily gains in line with the market. This indicates the announcement’s immediate impact on asset values has been minimal.
