The delisting and conversion will impact the following tokens:

The conversion process will commence immediately after the delisting and will conclude by 06:59 AM (UTC) on October 21, 2024. During this period, the affected tokens will not be visible in Binance wallets.
The conversion rate will be determined based on the average market exchange rate between the tokens and USDT over the period from 07:00 AM (UTC) on April 21, 2024, to 06:59 AM (UTC) on October 21, 2024. Binance will notify users and send an email update upon completion of the conversion.

After the withdrawal support deadline, Binance will cease to support the affected tokens, and users will no longer be able to transfer any remaining tokens out of their Binance accounts to external wallets.
The decision to delist and convert these tokens is part of Binance's ongoing commitment to providing a secure and efficient trading environment for its users. The exchange regularly reviews its token listings to ensure they meet stringent criteria and standards.
Binance emphasizes that this move is not a reflection on the value or utility of the affected tokens but rather a strategic decision to streamline the platform and enhance user experience. The exchange encourages users to consider alternative trading options for these tokens on other platforms.
