Binance News Roundup – August 14, 2025


Market Momentum Meets Strategic Shifts


Binance is entering mid-August with a flurry of developments that span new listings, product upgrades, high-stakes partnerships, and record-breaking market moves. The exchange’s activity comes amid a crypto market surge, with Bitcoin and Ethereum pushing toward historic highs.



1. Trading Pair Adjustments


Binance announced the delisting of three spot trading pairs — ANIME/FDUSD, HYPER/FDUSD, and STO/BNB — effective August 15, 2025. While these removals don’t affect the availability of the underlying tokens, they will require traders to adjust strategies and update Spot Trading Bots.

On the flip side, Binance.US is adding fresh energy to its memecoin lineup by listing Useless Coin (USELESS), a Solana-based token, with trading kicking off immediately.



2. Platform Upgrades and User Incentives



  • BFUSD Integration – Binance has added the BFUSD stablecoin to its Buy Crypto, Convert, and Margin services, expanding liquidity options.


  • Tick Size Optimization – Minimum price increments for select spot pairs will be updated by August 21, aimed at improving market depth and execution efficiency.


  • USDC Reward Program – Borrowers can now access USDC with rates as low as 4% APR through Margin and Loan products for a limited time, signaling Binance’s push to attract more margin traders.

  • Ethereum (ETH) saw massive inflows into U.S. spot Ether ETFs, totaling $729 million — the second-largest single-day inflow ever. ETH’s price is now hovering near its historical peak.



4. Strategic Partnerships


In a notable trust-building move, Binance has partnered with Spanish banking giant BBVA to let customers store assets off-exchange. BBVA will serve as an independent custodian, a shift designed to reassure institutional and risk-averse retail investors by reducing counterparty exposure.




Paxos Trust, a former Binance partner, reached a $48.5 million settlement with New York regulators over anti-money-laundering oversight failures. The deal includes a $26.5M fine and a $22M investment in compliance infrastructure, highlighting the continued regulatory pressure on crypto institutions.



6. Token Events and Promotions


Within the Binance Wallet, the Reveel (REVA) Pre-Token Generation Event is now live. Users can commit up to 3 BNB each, with allocations determined proportionally. Unused funds will be refunded, and participants can also join a
