Can These Tokens Still Be Traded?

Yes, the delisting only applies to the specific trading pairs mentioned. Binance has clarified that users can still trade HMSTR, SAGA, ILV, LTO, and MDT through other active pairs on the platform.

Why Is Binance Removing These Pairs?

Binance did not give a specific reason for the removal, but delistings are usually based on factors such as low trading volume and limited liquidity. When a trading pair has low activity, it can create inefficiencies and make trading less effective.

As part of its ongoing market review, Binance regularly updates its offerings to improve the overall trading experience and ensure that only the most viable trading pairs remain available.

This decision reflects Binance’s commitment to optimizing market performance while giving users access to the best possible trading opportunities.
