Morgan Stanley shifts to a bullish stance on the US dollar, with high yields set to continue weighing on global risk appetite.
Morgan Stanley has adjusted its previously bearish outlook on the U.S. dollar, forecasting that the greenback’s strength will persist through mid-2027. The bank projects the U.S. Dollar Index will rise to 104 by then, while the euro could fall from its current level around $1.14 to $1.10 against the greenback. The report cites expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes, U.S. economic resilience, and persistently high energy prices as factors that will sustain America’s relative interest rate advantage and continue to underpin the dollar. This outlook aligns closely with recent market conditions. On September 25, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remained near the 5.2% mark, with the U.S. Dollar Index trading around 101. While U.S. stocks stabilized at the open on optimism over artificial intelligence, and bitcoin hovered around $84,900, elevated yields continued to weigh on valuations of risk assets. Morgan Stanley had earlier revised its Fed rate path to include two 25-basis-point hikes in December this year and March 2027, lifting the federal funds rate range to 4.25%-4.5%, which is likely to be maintained through 2027. For the foreign exchange market, this means the U.S.’s interest rate advantage over other major economies will be slow to narrow. The report also flags European political risks as an additional headwind for the euro, including the French presidential election in spring 2027 and electoral risks in Germany and Italy. If the euro’s risk premium continues to rise, it will work in tandem with the U.S. interest rate advantage to boost the dollar.

PAID Token’s automatic fee revenue sharing pushes its market capitalization to exceed $40 million, with over 360% growth in 24 hours.
PAID official announcement: The platform has successfully distributed $1.44 million to X Money users via its token creator fee automatic revenue-sharing tool. Paid previously launched its token issuance feature on Pons on the 19th. The official stated that 80% of fees will be sent to X users via X Money, while 20% will be converted to SOL for PAID token buybacks. Token issuers can send fees via X Money by adding an X Handle to their project description. Additionally, celebrities on X do not even need to register for Paid or provide consent to receive fund distributions through X Money. According to GMGN market data, PAID’s market cap on Solana has now exceeded $40 million, with a 24-hour increase of over 360% and trading volume of $32.8 million in the same period. On-chain data shows that Frank DeGods, founder of DeGods, purchased PAID approximately four days ago, investing roughly $145,000 to $169,000 and holding tens of millions of tokens.

Goldman Sachs: AI capital expenditure has not reached an inflection point, and the market will conduct stricter scrutiny of monetization efficiency.
U.S. stocks remain resilient amid pressure from high oil prices and elevated yields, with AI themes continuing to underpin tech sector performance. Goldman Sachs’ latest calculations have shifted market focus further toward the revenue side: top U.S. AI cloud vendors will need to generate roughly $300 billion in annualized AI revenue over the next several years to cover their current massive investments; for cloud vendors to achieve meaningful returns and the application layer to sustain high profit margins, end-users’ annual spending on AI applications will need to approach $1 trillion. Goldman Sachs analyst Ryan Hammond forecasts that hyperscale cloud vendors’ capital expenditure will reach around $800 billion in 2026, with the market consensus for 2027 standing at roughly $1.1 trillion. Goldman Sachs’ baseline scenario is that actual 2027 spending may still exceed consensus expectations, though the growth rate and the degree of upside surprise will gradually slow. For AI operations already reliant on data centers, GPUs, storage, and networking equipment, capital expenditure is not nearing a sudden contraction point; the market will closely monitor how much cloud revenue and profit each dollar of investment generates. The report does not simply turn the AI narrative into a pessimistic outlook. Goldman Sachs notes that hyperscale cloud revenue in Q2 has added roughly $70 billion in annualized terms compared to pre-AI boom trends, with announced revenue backlogs exceeding $1.5 trillion. Enterprise AI procurement remains in its early stages, and the recent acceleration in corporate spending will make AI’s impact on corporate profits clearer over the coming quarters.

Security Alert: Users who have previously traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s Ethereum marketplace are advised to revoke authorizations for the Limit Break contract.
RevokeCash has issued a security alert, warning that users who previously traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s Ethereum marketplace likely granted authorization to Limit Break’s Payment Processor contract, which carries a known vulnerability, and recommends revoking that authorization. Yesterday, Magic Eden officials noted that NFTs currently listed on the platform are not affected by the vulnerability, while those listed via its EVM marketplace roughly between February and October 2024 may be impacted; listings after October 2024 are in principle unaffected. The platform is in contact with protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to explore additional risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and will continue investigating the full scope of the impact. Users who have listed or traded NFTs on Magic Eden’s EVM marketplace should revoke related contract authorizations on the Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks. They can filter their addresses via revoke.cash and revoke all NFT authorizations marked as "approved for all". Additionally, Yuga Labs’ Vice President of Blockchain, Quit, stated that the asset claim website for NFT theft incidents tied to the Payment Processor vulnerability is now live. Affected users whose NFTs were successfully recovered by Yuga Labs can now file claims, but must first revoke authorization for the Payment Processor.

AI-themed token IMD on Ethereum mainnet hits an all-time high as its market cap surges past $39 million.
According to GMGN data, Ethereum mainnet AI-themed token IMD has hit a new all-time high market cap of over $39 million, and has since pulled back to $31 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $2.1 million. IMD is an older token on the Ethereum mainnet, having evolved from a chain game pet token to an experimental project featuring "community-provided computing power, AI labor, and token deflation." Its predecessor was Fren Pet, an electronic pet game launched on Base in 2023, later renamed VIBE, and rebranded as IMD in May 2026. Its current narrative centers on building an "AI cooperative": users holding qualified NFTs can connect their computers and Claude/Codex quotas to the network, enabling AI agents to collaboratively write code, audit smart contracts, and develop applications, with rewards distributed for completed projects. The token uses the POOL4 mechanism, where a portion of IMD is allocated from transactions—most of which is burned, with the remainder distributed to stakers and nodes. BlockBeats reminds users that token prices are highly volatile, so investment requires caution.

INTERNET STOCK PICKER REQUIRED TO GIVE UP ALL ILLEGAL PROFITS, PAY A PENALTY OF MORE THAN $400,000 AND CONSENT TO THE ENTRY OF AN ANTI-FRAUD INJUNCTION
Chicago, IL, March 8, 2001 —
The Securities and Exchange
Commission has settled the enforcement action it brought
last year against Yun Soo Oh Park, the Internet stock picker
known as “Tokyo Joe,” and the company Park controls, Tokyo
Joe’s Societe Anonyme Corp. Under the terms of the
settlement, which was as approved today by the District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Park and
Societe Anonyme, without admitting or denying the
allegations made in the Commission’s Complaint, consented to
entry of a federal District Court order that permanently
enjoins them from violating the antifraud and other
provisions of the federal securities laws, and orders Park
and Societe Anonyme to pay $324,934 in ill-gotten gains and
$429,696 in civil penalties, for a total monetary payment of
$754,630. Park and Societe Anonyme also agreed to post a
hyperlink to the court order on the home page of the Tokyo
Joe web site for a period of thirty days.
SEC Enforcement Director Richard H. Walker said, “This case
has established groundbreaking precedent: Those who are in
the business of offering investment advice on the Internet
may take on the same duties and responsibilities as other
investment advisers.” Mr. Walker added, “Today’s settlement
demonstrates that we will not countenance undisclosed
conflicts of interest or other fraudulent conduct from those
recommending purchases or sales of securities - whether on
the web or elsewhere.”
SEC Midwest Regional Director Mary E. Keefe said, “In
requiring Park and Societe Anonyme to pay a significant
penalty and to give back all of the profits they made from
their illegal trading and touting, we are sending a clear
message to those in the stock-picking business: We will
pursue you vigorously if you mislead your customers.”
In its Complaint, filed in January 2000, the Commission
alleged that Park, a self-proclaimed Internet stock-picking
guru, operated an Internet web site through which investors
who paid a monthly membership fee received stock
recommendations and other investment advice from Park. The
Commission charged that Park defrauded members of his
Societe Anonyme by failing to disclose that, in several
instances, he had already purchased shares of the stock that
he was recommending and that he planned to sell his shares
into the buying flurry and subsequent price rise that
followed his recommendations, an illegal practice known as
“scalping.” The Commission also charged that Park touted
one company to members of Societe Anonyme and to the public
without disclosing that he had received shares of stock in
the company in exchange for his recommendation. Finally,
the Commission charged that the past performance results
posted on Park’s web site were materially false and
misleading.
Before submitting his settlement offer, Park moved to
dismiss the Commission’s Complaint, arguing primarily that,
since he dispensed his stock picks and investment advice
over the Internet, he was not an “investment adviser” within
the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act and that the
antifraud provisions of that Act could not be
constitutionally applied to him. The District Court denied
Park’s motion to dismiss in its entirety and held that the
Commission’s Complaint sufficiently alleged that Park was an
“investment adviser” under the Advisers Act and that Park
was subject to that Act’s antifraud provisions. (SEC v.
Park a/k/a Tokyo Joe, and Tokyo Joe’s Societe Anonyme Corp.,
99 F. Supp. 2d 889 (N.D. Ill. 2000).
Under the terms of the settlement, Park and Societe Anonyme
consent to a permanent injunction prohibiting them from
violating the antifraud provisions of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 and the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as well as the anti-touting provision of the
Securities Act of 1933. Park and Societe Anonyme also are
required to pay all of the $279,696 in profits they made
from the thirteen instances of scalping and the one instance
of illegal touting alleged by the Commission, plus $45,238
in prejudgment interest on that amount, for a total
disgorgement payment of $324,934. Park and Societe Anonyme
also are required to pay a civil penalty equal to the amount
of their scalping and illegal touting profits ($279,696)
plus an additional penalty of $150,000 based on Park’s
posting of false and misleading past performance results on
the Tokyo Joe web site, for a total penalty payment of
$429,696. Finally, within two days of the entry of the
District Court order, Park and Societe Anonyme must post a
hyperlink to a copy of the Commission’s order on the home
page of the Tokyo Joe web site for a period of thirty days.

Trader Joe, the decentralized exchange (DEX) dominating Avalanche, has surpassed PancakeSwap. It is now the second-largest DEX by fees generated in the past 24 hours.
According to an Artemis Researcher citing Token Terminal data, the DEX processed over $142 million in trading volume on the last day, with 98% of fees from tokens based in Avalanche. This dominance points to how crucial the DEX is in the high-throughput blockchain, whose on-chain activity has been rising in recent months.
Trader Joe flips PancakeSwap | Source: Emperor Osmo via X Trader Joe also confirmed that it facilitated over $100 million in trading volume through its Liquidity Book. Through this feature, traders can create tailored strategies while benefiting from low fees. The Liquidity Book is designed to significantly enhance efficiency and flexibility versus other traditional automated market maker (AMM) platforms like Uniswap.
In the past 24 hours, Trader Joe processed over $216,000 in fees, above $151,000 recorded by PancakeSwap–a DEX on the BNB Chain ecosystem. While impressive, their combined figure is less than half that recorded by Uniswap, a DEX that’s active on multiple platforms and blockchains, including BNB Chain.
During the same period, Uniswap generated over $1.9 million in trading fees, most of which came from Ethereum, where the DEX is actively used.
Avalanche price trending upward on the daily chart | Source: AVAXUSDT on Binance, TradingView Whether Trader Joe’s will cement its position as the second most active DEX after Uniswap remains to be seen; however, in recent months, the Avalanche ecosystem has been trending following Solana and other low-fee but high-throughput environments, including Ethereum-layer-2s.
Will Avalanche’s Focus On Meme Coins Cement Trader Joe’s Position? More meme coin projects appear keen to deploy on Avalanche’s sub-nets, benefiting from low fees and high scalability. To encourage participation and meme coin projects to launch on the platform, Avalanche Foundation announced a new initiative in late December 2023.
As part of a culture drive, the foundation revealed that it would consider buying meme coins, drawing inspiration from the impact of Bonk in Solana. Through their “Culture Catalyst,” the foundation will explore and acquire potent meme coins deploying on Avalanche.
Considering how viral meme coins can be, it is likely that Trader Joe, a famous DEX on Avalanche, will benefit from this drive. When writing, the foundation has not revealed whether it has bought any meme coin.
Trader Joe’s TVL rising | Source: DeFiLlama However, what’s clear is that Trader Joe has been growing, looking at its total value locked (TVL) in the past few trading weeks. According to DeFiLlama, Trader Joe’s TVL stands at over $172 million, of which more than $126 million are Avalanche-based assets.

In a significant move for OTC traders, Liquid Markets, operated by DWF Labs, has announced the official listing of four prominent tokens: Joe (JOE), Milady Meme Coin (LADYS), FLOKI (FLOKI), and IoTeX (IOTX). This development opens up exciting trading opportunities for users. Moreover, it allows them to engage in transactions involving these tokens against USDT pairs.
Trader Joe’s JOE, Milady Meme Coin (LADYS), and FLOKI Tokens Added to Liquid Markets Trader Joe is a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain. It launches its native token, Joe (JOE), on Liquid Markets. DeFi services like yield farming, swapping, and staking are available from Trader Joe. Once listed on Liquid Markets, traders can easily access the JOE token. This simplifies trading in the Trader Joe ecosystem by increasing liquidity.
Milady Meme Coin (LADYS) is a notable Liquid Markets addition. LADYS, a Milady NFT meme coin, tokenizes the fully memetically optimized white pill. More meme-based crypto assets will be available after Liquid Markets lists LADYS. This meets rising demand from users entering this market.
Additionally, Liquid Markets now allows FLOKI (FLOKI) token sales. The Floki Ecosystem utility token is FLOKI. Since listing on Liquid Markets, FLOKI is more accessible to traders. This allows them to use it in the Floki Ecosystem and join the meme-inspired token trend.
IoTeX (IOTX) Joins Liquid Markets, Strengthening Machine Open Economics The last of the four new tokens is IoTeX (IOTX). It provides a decentralized platform to strengthen machine open economics. IoTeX began building a decentralized ecosystem where humans and machines can trust and freely interact in 2017. IOTX’s listing on Liquid Markets aims to attract more users to the IoTeX ecosystem, which will boost machine economy innovation and collaboration.
Addition of these four tokens to Liquid Markets will greatly improve trading for all users. Adding tokens gives traders more options and flexibility at Liquid Markets. This allows them diversify and find new investments.
Joe (JOE), Milady Meme Coin (LADYS), FLOKI (FLOKI), and IoTeX (IOTX) are now listed on Liquid Markets, demonstrating DWF Labs’ commitment to providing a complete and ever-changing trading experience. The crypto market changes, but Liquid Markets stays ahead by offering traders a wide range of tokens and encouraging new digital asset ideas.

A closely followed crypto analyst believes one decentralized video-streaming altcoin project is about to go on a massive rally.
Pseudonymous trader Kaleo tells his 632,300 followers on the social media platform X that Theta Network (THETA), a platform for decentralized video delivery, could soar by more than 200% as the social finance (SoFi) space finds renewed interest.
[adinserter block="1"]
”I wouldn’t sleep on THETA here. I’m still incredibly bullish on SoFi over the next few months as you have tokens like ARENA and the FT (Friend.tech) airdrop that will be rolling out and bringing more attention back to the sector.”
Source: Kaleo/X Looking at his chart, the trader suggests that THETA could soar beyond $10. THETA is trading for $3.10 at time of writing, up 10.5% in the last 24 hours.
Next up, the trader says he is bullish on Avalanche (AVAX)-based native governance token of TraderJoe (JOE), the biggest decentralized exchange (DEX) on Avalanche.
“With the AVAX memecoin rush kicking off this week (million dollar of incentives for LP (liquidity pool) staking), JOE is easily still one of my highest conviction plays here.”
Source: Kaleo/X Looking at his chart, the trader suggests JOE will increase to $3.50 around April. Joe is trading for $0.92 at time of writing, up 10.5% in the last 24 hours.
Lastly, the trader is bullish on BNB, the native asset of the world’s largest crypto exchange platform. He takes a look at BNB in its Bitcoin pair (BNB/BTC) to back up his thesis.
“BNB/BTC. Full send soon.”
Source: Kaleo/X Looking at his chart, the trader suggests that BNB/BTC is printing a bullish pattern by setting higher low prices and could soon soar to 0.0102 BTC ($710).
BNB/BTC is trading for 0.008496 BTC ($591) at time of writing, down slightly in the last 24 hours.
The bankrupt FTX exchange emptied its FTT treasury account to a new wallet address on April 18.
Arkham Intelligence's dashboard showed that the transferred assets from the FTT Treasury wallet include 195.87 million FTT tokens valued at approximately $247 million, 1,938 ETH valued at around $6 million, and 6.36 million JOE tokens worth $3.25 million.
As a result, the Treasury wallet now holds only about $205 worth of digital assets, a significant reduction from the wallet's balance, which stood at about $612 million at the start of the year.
FTT, the native token of a now-defunct FTX crypto exchange, once gave customers discounts and privileges during the firm's heyday. However, revelations during the trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried showed that the digital asset was used to manipulate the financial records of the exchange and its affiliated trading firm, Alameda Research.
Since the exchange's dramatic collapse, FTT has plummeted by a staggering 98% from its peak of $84. Over the past month, it has declined by more than 34%, with a further drop of approximately 28% in the last seven days alone.
FTX Europe license remains suspendedMeanwhile, FTX regulatory issues continue amid its bankruptcy proceedings.
According to an April 16 notice, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) prolonged the suspension of its European subsidiary license until September 2024.

The financial regulator's directive mandates that FTX Europe adhere to the Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law.
Consequently, FTX Europe remains barred from offering investment services, engaging in business transactions, or accepting new clients in light of this regulatory action. The firm is also prohibited from advertising investment services.
Conversely, FTX Europe must fulfill all pending transactions for itself and its clients upon request. Additionally, the SEC mandates the company to reimburse all funds and financial instruments from its clients.
JOE is the platform token of TraderJoe, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Avalanche. TraderJoe also offers lending and borrowing services through BankerJoe. The JOE token can be staked to receive protocol fees and vote on governance proposals.
Trader Joe is an AMM-based DEX built on the Avalanche blockchain. Most AMM projects on Avalanche, such as Pangolin and Zero Exchange modeled after Uniswap, or Olive and Lydia Finance modeled after Pancakeswap, are inspired by other famous projects on Ethereum and BSC.
Despite its recent launch, Trader Joe (JOE) surpassed Pangolin (PNG) in August to become the AMM DEX with the largest TVL in the Avalanche ecosystem, reaching $500 million in TVL.
Trader Joe’s unique feature is combining DEX with Lending & Leveraged Trading, helping increase liquidity and attracting more funds to the project.
Trader Joe is primarily a DEX responsible for providing swap and trading services. However, this project also offers other essential DeFi features like staking, yield farming, and lending. Additionally, Zap, a new feature of the project, allows users to change LP tokens with a single click.
There are two use cases for the JOE token:
Governance: JOE token holders have a say in decision-making. Proposals are determined with JOEVOTE.Reward to token holders: JOE is given as a reward to stakers, farmers, and liquidity providers.Additionally, Cryptofish and 0xmurloc are co-founders of JOE, while Hruday serves as the frontend engineer.
Overall, Trader Joe takes a long-term approach to governance. The Grow Club is Trader Joe’s first governance panel, a Community Club overseeing the selection and ongoing management of the platform’s Community Farms. This initiative helps Trader Joe operate as a fully decentralized and transparent ecosystem while solidifying the platform’s status as the number one liquidity provider on Avalanche.
Moreover, xJOE is the primary staking mechanism in the Trader Joe ecosystem. When you stake your JOE, you effectively exchange your JOE for xJOE. Over time, holding xJOE tokens will always earn you more JOE.
How to Buy JOE Coin?JOE Coin can be quickly and securely purchased via Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform by trading volume.
To buy JOE Coin, you first need to register on Binance and then send fiat currency. After sending fiat currency such as dollars, you can buy JOE trading pairs by purchasing BUSD, Bitcoin (BTC), Binance Coin (BNB), or Tether (USDT).

Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice
Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.
According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.
On June 25, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) held a press conference. Miao Shengming, SPP’s deputy procurator-general, stated that procuratorial organs are thoroughly investigating both self-money laundering and third-party money laundering crimes, and vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets to ensure full coverage in the investigation and punishment of drug-related money laundering offenses. From January 2025 to May 2026, procuratorial bodies nationwide prosecuted more than 1,200 individuals for drug-related money laundering crimes. A notable example is the major cross-border case of drug smuggling, trafficking, transportation and money laundering involving Li Moubo and others, which was supervised by the SPP and handled by Chongqing’s procuratorial organs. Li laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after receiving combined punishment for multiple crimes in accordance with the law. (Xinhua News Agency)
Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, has declared the delisting of nine altcoin’s spot trading pairs.
This action, set to take effect on August 23 at 03:00 UTC, reflects Binance’s attempts to enhance market quality.
What Binance Users Need To Do?Binance assesses the performance of its listed trading pairs and removes those that do not meet liquidity and volume thresholds. The exchange claims these measures protect users and uphold a high-quality trading environment.

The pairs to be removed include:
ARKM/TUSD CHZ/EUR ENA/EUR FIRO/BTC IOTA/FDUSD JOE/TRY OMNI/BNB REZ/BNB SUPER/FDUSD Although this delisting affects specific trading channels, it does not eliminate the individual tokens from the platform.
“Users can still trade the spot trading pair’s base and quote assets on other trading pair(s) that are available on Binance,” the crypto exchange explained.
Therefore, users with an interest in these pairs should revise their trading strategies accordingly. Importantly, the exchange will also terminate spot trading bot services for these pairs at the same time. Binance advises traders to either cancel or update their automated trades to avoid potential financial losses.
Notably, this round of delisting has not immediately influenced the market prices of the involved tokens. This stability likely stems from their continued availability in other trading pairs on Binance, which helps cushion any negative impacts.
However, the history of token delistings on Binance suggests potential volatility. For instance, Binance’s removal of six altcoins last week led to substantial price drops for those cryptocurrencies. Notably, PowerPool (CVP) and Ellipsis (EPX) saw declines of 14% and 22% immediately after their removal was announced.

This trend continued from last month when tokens such as Dock (DOCK) and Mdex (MDX) experienced sharp falls, nearly 30%, and 23.65%, following their delisting. These incidents shed light on the impact of exchange listings or delisting on an altcoin’s valuation.
PANews reported on January 29th that, according to an official announcement, Binance will remove and cease trading the following spot trading pairs at 16:00 (UTC+8) on January 30, 2026: 0G/FDUSD, ARPA/BTC, AXS/ETH, BEL/BTC, BERA/BNB, ENSO/FDUSD, FORTH/BTC, HEMI/BNB, ILV/BTC, JOE/BTC, MAV/BTC, NEAR/BNB, NTRN/BNB, PHB/BTC, PLUME/FDUSD, PORTAL/FDUSD, RED/BTC, SC/ETH, SEI/BNB, SKL/BTC, and SOMI/FDUSD.

Jiang Zhuoer: This round of Bitcoin bear market may bottom out in Q4 2026, with a target range of $42,000 to $44,000.
BTC.TOP founder Jiang Zhuoer wrote in a post that Strategy’s modified net asset value (mNAV) has fallen to 0.72, near the 0.7 low hit in May 2022 during the last bear market. Citing recent market sentiment events including STRC’s depegging, he noted that mNAV is now in the bottom zone of this cycle. mNAV usually bottoms roughly six months before Bitcoin’s price. Using the "four-year cycle" and volatility decay model, Jiang projected that this Bitcoin bear market will likely bottom between October and December 2026, with a target price range of $42,000 to $44,000. He added that his recent medium-short term strategy remains focused on selling spot assets and holding short positions, and will switch to buying spot and going long once the expected bottom arrives.
