Binance Is Delisting EPIC and QUICK on October 28: Every Deadline and What Holders Should Do

5 min

The short answer

Binance will stop all spot trading of Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK) on 28 October 2026 at 11:00 SGT (03:00 UTC), and several products close earlier, starting with Buy & Sell on 15 October and EPIC futures, margin, loans and Binance Pay on 20 October. If you hold either token on Binance, sell before trading ends or withdraw to a wallet or another exchange; withdrawals stay open until 28 December 2026, after which Binance may, but does not promise to, convert leftover balances into stablecoins.

What Binance announced

Binance published the notice on 14 October 2026 at 14:00 SGT. It says both tokens were removed after its periodic review, which looks at factors such as development activity, trading volume and liquidity, team commitment and responsiveness to due-diligence requests. The notice does not say which factor applied to EPIC or QUICK, so we will not guess.

The market reacted at once. At 16:52 SGT on 14 October, Binance's own 24-hour ticker showed:

TokenLast price (USDT)24 h change24 h low – high24 h volume (USDT)
EPIC0.3780−14.7%0.3698 – 0.4593about 2.71 million
QUICK0.00792−22.3%0.00756 – 0.01110about 0.67 million

A delisting notice usually moves the price before the actual removal, because holders who do not want to deal with withdrawals sell into the remaining order book. Thin books also mean wider spreads. Selling a large position at market in one go can cost noticeably more than the quoted price.

20 Oct, 16:30No new positions on the EPIC perpetual contract
20 Oct, 17:00EPIC perpetual settled automatically; Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot strategies closed
20 Oct, 18:00Cross, isolated and portfolio margin delisting; positions settled and orders cancelled
21 Oct, 11:00Spot Copy Trading drops the pairs; leftover assets force-sold at market
21 Oct, 15:00Simple Earn positions auto-redeemed to the Spot account
27 Oct, 10:00"Convert Low-Value Assets" stops accepting them
28 Oct, 10:00Binance Convert removes both tokens
28 Oct, 11:00Spot trading ends; open orders removed; Trading Bots and Gift Cards stop
29 Oct, 11:00Deposits of either token are no longer credited
28 Dec, 11:00Withdrawals end
From 29 Dec, 11:00Possible conversion of leftover balances into stablecoins, not guaranteed

One detail for futures traders: the futures clause matters only for EPIC in practice. Binance's public futures listing shows the QUICKUSDT perpetual already in "settling" status with a delivery date of 28 November 2025, while EPICUSDT is still trading with a delivery time of 20 October 2026, 17:00 SGT.

What to do, by situation

You hold EPIC or QUICK in your Spot wallet. You have three clean options. Sell on Binance before 28 October at 11:00 SGT, preferably with limit orders in pieces instead of one market order into a thin book. Or withdraw to a self-custody wallet and decide later. Or move the tokens to another exchange that still lists them. Do not leave them in place assuming a conversion: Binance itself says conversion "is not guaranteed".

You have them in Simple Earn, Dual Investment or a loan. Redeem or repay yourself before the dates above. Binance will auto-redeem Earn on 21 October and close loans on 20 October, but forced closures happen at whatever price is available at that moment.

You trade EPIC perpetuals or use margin. Close positions before 20 October at 16:30 SGT. Binance warns it may cut maximum leverage, change margin tiers and adjust funding settings on the contract without further notice until settlement, which can push a leveraged position into liquidation even if the price barely moves.

You run a Spot Copy Trading portfolio or a bot on these pairs. Copy portfolios are force-sold on 21 October; bots stop on 28 October. Edit or cancel them now so they do not trade into the last, thinnest days.

You hold tiny balances. "Convert Low-Value Assets" accepts them until 27 October at 10:00 SGT. Untick "Hide Small Balances" after delisting if you want to see what is left, since Binance stops showing the token's valuation.

Where else EPIC and QUICK trade

We checked the public market lists of the major exchanges on 14 October:

Article table: scroll horizontally, or focus the table area and use the arrow keys.

ExchangeEPIC/USDT spotQUICK/USDT spot
GateTradableTradable
MEXCListedListed
OKXNot listedNot listed
BitgetNot listedNot listed
BybitNot listedNot listed

Network matters when you move them. Gate's currency data lists EPIC on Ethereum (ERC-20) and QUICK on both Polygon and Ethereum, with deposits open on each network. Pick the same network on both sides of the transfer, send a small test amount first, and check the receiving exchange's deposit page, not a third-party list.

How to act on this

If you would rather keep the tokens on an exchange than in a wallet, Gate still lists both pairs: open an account from our Gate profile with code nexubest, confirm the deposit network on Gate's deposit screen, and move a small test amount before the rest. Our Binance vs Gate comparison shows the checked fee rows for both venues, and the Binance profile keeps every Binance fee and rule we have verified. For other delistings and listing dates this month, see the market calendar.

What we could not verify

  • The specific review factor that led Binance to remove each token.
  • Whether Binance will actually convert leftover balances after 29 December, and at what rate.
  • MEXC's deposit networks for these two tokens (its public market list confirms the pairs only).
