Binance will automatically cancel all transactions related to these tokens at the specified deadline. The exchange will gradually delist and stop buying back tokens from April 1st to April 3rd. Users can swap tokens before the delisting date.

In case users do not actively swap their tokens, the exchange will convert the balance into USDT based on the token price on the delisting date. Binance will distribute the tokens to users’ accounts within 24 hours and remove the leveraged tokens from wallets.

Binance’s leveraged tokens are derivative products that allow investors to have leveraged exposure to the associated cryptocurrencies. These tokens represent a basket of perpetual contract positions and are affected by price fluctuations in the perpetual contract market.
