As Paxos ceases the production of new BUSD, Binance will adapt by slowly discontinuing support for BUSD-related offerings. Updates will be shared regarding affected services. Rest assured, BUSD’s 1:1 backing with USD remains.
Binance continues to back a variety of stablecoins and digital currencies. Again, the shift away from BUSD is encouraged before the February 2024 cut-off.
Spot & Margin Changes
BUSD trading pairs for spot and margin will be gradually taken down. Official announcements on the delistings will be communicated separately.
Starting from specific dates, certain BUSD-related functionalities will be restricted. Nevertheless, trading in other stablecoins and pairs remains unaffected on Binance.
Note: As of September 7, 2023, BUSD borrowings on Cross Margin will be halted. And from October 19, 2023, additional BUSD will not be accepted as new collateral for Cross Margin Wallet. Other tokens are still acceptable.
