Binance will delist seven spot trading pairs (AIXBT/USDC, DOLO/USDC, ENJ/USDC, HUMA/USDC, SXT/USDC, TNSR/USDC, TURTLE/USDC) effective September 25, 2026.

Upbit, South Korea's largest crypto exchange, placed Sophon (SOPH) under review as a trading-warning asset and halted deposits due to concerns surrounding disclosure practices, shifts in token-circulation strategy, and procedural transparency. The review process may ultimately result in delisting if the identified issues remain unresolved. Separately, Binance will delist seven USDC spot pairs on September 25, including AIXBT/USDC, DOLO/USDC, ENJ/USDC, HUMA/USDC, SXT/USDC, TNSR/USDC, and TURTLE/USDC, citing liquidity constraints and insufficient trading volume.
The delisting of USDC pairs does not remove the underlying tokens from Binance entirely—they will remain accessible through alternative trading pairs. This distinction means traders retain some exchange access to these assets, though the specific USDC denominations are being retired. The timing and scope of both actions suggest heightened scrutiny of token transparency and market viability across major exchanges.
The extent to which these regulatory and operational changes reflect broader industry concerns about token disclosure standards or individual asset issues remains unclear. Whether other exchanges may follow similar review or delisting protocols in response to these precedents is not yet known.
