BitcoinEthereumNews.com reports that Binance will remove four USDC spot trading pairs on September 18 at 03:00 UTC. The pairs involving BREV, COOKIE, LA, and QNT are being delisted from USDC trading. Despite this removal, the underlying tokens remain available for trading through other spot pairs on the exchange.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for USDC, measured when this story was written up on 16 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
USDC spot trading shows a buy ratio of 46.8% over the last hour and 45.4% over four hours, compared to 47.0% over the past day. This indicates that buying pressure is fading relative to the longer-term average. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$12.7 million in the last hour and -$51.3 million over four hours. A negative volume delta means that sell volume has exceeded buy volume, pushing the price down as traders exit positions.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.2% sits at the 73rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.4% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for USDC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.7%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 47.0% lower by 2.7 percentage points. Volume has been 1.26 times the average, indicating higher activity than usual. The coin has seen net buying on only 4 of the last 7 days. This suggests that while activity is elevated, the directional bias has been less consistent than the weekly average.
