Binance Delisting Puts QUICK and EPIC Under Pressure
Binance will delist Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK), closing their spot trading pairs at 03:00 UTC on October 28, 2026. The October 14 announcement was followed by 24-hour losses of 19.67% for QUICK and 10.54% for EPIC, according to CoinGecko figures cited in the article. Both tokens previously carried Binance’s Monitoring Tag, but the exchange did not give a specific reason for the Binance delisting. Its review criteria can include liquidity, trading activity, development, security, regulatory compliance and the project team’s commitment.
The delisting affects more than spot trading. Binance plans to settle affected futures contracts on October 20 and restrict or discontinue other services, including margin and loans, on scheduled dates. Spot orders and trading bots will stop when the pairs close. Deposits will no longer be credited from October 29, while withdrawals are scheduled to remain available until December 28. Binance said remaining balances might be converted to stablecoins after December 29, but this is not guaranteed.
QUICK fell sharply after the notice, while EPIC briefly recovered during a shorter intraday period; these moves cover different time frames from the 24-hour figures. Traders should check Binance’s deadlines and assess withdrawal options and liquidity on alternative venues. As the Binance delisting takes effect, reduced trading support could thin liquidity and increase volatility in both tokens.
Bearish
The delisting creates direct selling and liquidity risks for EPIC and QUICK. In the short term, traders may sell ahead of the spot-pair closure or move tokens to other venues, while the loss of Binance trading access can make it harder to execute larger orders without price slippage. The reported 24-hour declines, especially QUICK’s, indicate negative market reaction, though EPIC’s brief intraday recovery shows that price responses can vary by timeframe and do not establish a sustained reversal.
Over the longer term, reduced exchange access and trading support may weaken liquidity, limit participation and increase volatility in both tokens. Such conditions can reinforce downward pressure if demand does not shift to alternative markets. However, the delisting does not by itself establish a fundamental failure, and Binance did not identify a specific cause. Developments from the project teams, liquidity on other exchanges and any further Binance guidance could affect the eventual outcome. Overall, the immediate trading implications are bearish, with uncertainty remaining around longer-term price direction.
