Binance to Delist Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK) on October 28

Published October 14, 2026, 06:50 UTC. Based on Binance's official exchange notice dated October 14, 2026, market data from Finnhub, and a price-reaction flash from Odaily News.

Binance said on October 14 it will delist Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK) from all spot trading pairs at 03:00 UTC on October 28, 2026, after a periodic review found the tokens no longer meet its listing standards, according to an official exchange notice published by the company.

The October 28 cutoff and the December 28 withdrawal end

Spot trading in every EPIC and QUICK pair ends at 03:00 UTC on October 28, Binance said. All open trade orders will be removed automatically after trading ceases, and Binance's Trading Bots service for those pairs will terminate at the same time. The exchange advised users to update or cancel their bots beforehand to avoid losses. Deposits of the two tokens will no longer be credited after 03:00 UTC on October 29, and withdrawals will stop being supported after 03:00 UTC on December 28. After December 29, delisted tokens may be converted into stablecoins on users' behalf, Binance said, adding that conversion is not guaranteed and will be announced separately where it applies.

The wind-down calendar: futures, margin, loans and earn close first

The spot date is the last one on the calendar, not the first. According to the notice, Binance Buy and Sell delists the tokens on October 15 at 03:00 UTC, and margin borrowing on the affected pairs is suspended at 06:00 UTC the same day. Futures contracts for EPIC and QUICK go through automatic settlement at 09:00 UTC on October 20, with new positions blocked from 08:30 UTC. VIP Loan and Flexible Loan positions close at 07:00 UTC that day, margin trading ends at 10:00 UTC, and Binance Pay drops the tokens at 03:00 UTC. Spot Copy Trading follows on October 21 at 03:00 UTC, with any outstanding assets force-sold at market price or moved to users' spot accounts, and Simple Earn positions are auto-redeemed at 07:00 UTC. Convert Low-Value Assets delists the tokens on October 27 at 02:00 UTC, Convert follows on October 28 at 02:00 UTC, and Gift Cards containing EPIC or QUICK are delisted on October 28 at 03:00 UTC.

The review checklist that cut EPIC and QUICK

Binance said it reviews each listed asset periodically to confirm it still meets a high level of standards and industry requirements, and moves to a deeper review and potential delisting when one does not. The notice lists the factors it weighs: the team's commitment to the project, the level and quality of development activity, trading volume and liquidity, the stability and safety of the network, the quality of public communication and transparency, responsiveness to periodic due diligence requests, evidence of unethical or fraudulent conduct, new regulatory requirements, material changes in token supply or tokenomics, changes in ownership or the core team, and community sentiment. The exchange did not say which of the factors EPIC or QUICK failed.

EPIC drops 8%, QUICK falls 5%

The market reacted fast. EPIC briefly dropped more than 8% after the announcement and QUICK fell over 5%, according to an Odaily News market flash, with traders pricing in the loss of the world's largest spot venue for both tokens. Finnhub market data put EPIC at $0.4138, down about 7.7% on the day, in the hours after the notice appeared. The delisting does not affect the underlying Epic Chain or QuickSwap networks, and both tokens keep trading on other exchanges.

Binance's October tightening

The delisting is the latest in a busy compliance month for the exchange. On October 9, Binance said it would restrict eight services and delist 22 tokens for Brazilian users from October 27 under regulatory pressure, a story MABOnChain covered separately. On October 13, the company announced it will shut down its Binance Pool mining service on November 10, ending a six-year run, and confirmed it had paid $283 million in compensation to users liquidated in the October 10 market crash after a USDe depeg. The EPIC and QUICK action is a separate, global spot delisting and is not limited to any one region.
