It is worth noting that the exchange's users will still be able to claim the Spark (FLR) token.         

Coinbase, Bitstamp, Bittrex, and a slew of other exchanges have announced that they would suspend XRP trading next month, but Binance U.S. has so far made the most drastic decision to completely delist the token following SEC's lawsuit against Ripple. 

It is worth noting that Binance U.S. CEO, Catherine Coley, is Ripple's former head of XRP institutional liquidity.
