Two Cardano (ADA) pairs delisted on major exchange following XRP removal
In a recent announcement on its website, Binance, one of the world's major crypto exchanges, has shared that it will cease trading and subscription of ADAUP/USDT and ADADOWN/USDT leveraged token trading pairs. The pairs are scheduled to be removed next week, on Aug. 16. Binance has not commented on the reasons for the cessation yet.
