Fellow Binancians,

Binance will support the Kaia (KLAY) rebranding to Kaia (KAIA).

At 2024-10-28 03:00 (UTC), Binance will delist all existing KLAY spot trading pairs (i.e., KLAY/BTC and KLAY/USDT) and cancel all pending KLAY spot trading orders. At 2024-10-31 08:00 (UTC), Binance will open trading for the KAIA/USDT trading pair.

General

  • Deposits and Withdrawals

    • At 2024-10-28 03:30 (UTC), deposits and withdrawals of KLAY tokens will be suspended. Please ensure that you leave sufficient time for your KLAY token deposits to be fully processed prior to this time. 

    • Deposits of KAIA tokens will be opened at 2024-10-31 07:00 (UTC).

    • Binance will make a separate announcement after the event is completed to notify users when withdrawals of KAIA tokens have opened.

    • After the event is complete, deposits and withdrawals of KLAY tokens will no longer be supported.

  • Binance will handle all technical requirements for users who are involved in this event.

  • Users may refer to the announcement from the project team for more information.

Rebranding

  • KLAY tokens will assume the ticker of KAIA tokens on Binance (i.e., 1 KLAY = 1 KAIA).

Spot

  • At 2024-10-28 03:00 (UTC), Binance will delist and cease trading on all spot trading pairs for KLAY. 

  • The exact trading pairs being removed are KLAY/BTC and KLAY/USDT.

  • All trade orders will be automatically removed after trading ceases in each respective trading pair.

  • Binance will terminate Trading Bots services for the aforementioned spot trading pairs at 2024-10-28 03:00 (UTC), where applicable. Users are strongly advised to update and/or cancel their Trading Bots prior to the cessation of Trading Bots services to avoid any potential losses.

  • Binance Spot Copy Trading will delist the aforementioned spot trading pairs on 2024-10-27 03:00 (UTC). After this time, any outstanding spot trading pairs will be moved to the Spot Wallet. Users are strongly advised to update or cancel their Spot Copy Trading portfolios prior to 2024-10-27 03:00 (UTC) to avoid potential losses.

  • Binance will open trading for the KAIA/USDT trading pair at 2024-10-31 08:00 (UTC).

Futures

  • Binance Futures will close all positions and conduct an automatic settlement on the KLAYUSDT USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts at 2024-10-22 09:00 (UTC). The contracts will be delisted after the settlement is complete. Users are advised to close any open positions prior to the delisting time to avoid automatic settlement. Users are not allowed to open new positions for the aforementioned contract(s) starting from 2024-10-22 08:30 (UTC). In order to protect users and prevent potential risks in extremely volatile market conditions, Binance Futures may undertake additional protective measures toward the KLAYUSDT USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contracts without further announcements, including but not limited to adjusting the maximum leverage value, position value, and maintenance margin in each margin tier, updating funding rates, such as the interest rate, premium and capped funding rate, changing the constituents of the price index, and using the Last Price Protected mechanism to update the Mark Price. A separate announcement will be made for relisting.

  • At 2024-10-22 09:00 (UTC), Binance Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot will close all arbitrage strategies and conduct an automatic settlement on the KLAYUSDT symbols.

Margin

  • Binance Margin will delist KLAY from Cross and Isolated Margin at 2024-10-23 06:00 (UTC). The KLAY/USDT cross and isolated margin pair will be removed from Margin.

  • At 2024-10-18 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will suspend isolated margin borrowings on the aforementioned isolated margin pair. At 2024-10-23 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will close users’ positions, conduct an automatic settlement, and cancel all pending orders on the aforementioned isolated margin pair, which will then be removed from isolated margin.

  • At 2024-10-18 06:00 (UTC), Binance Margin will suspend cross margin borrowings on the aforementioned token(s). At 2024-10-23 06:00 (UTC), if users hold both collateral and liabilities of the aforementioned token(s), the collateral will be used to repay the respective liabilities. If there are remaining collateral or liabilities of the aforementioned token(s), one of two options below will occur:

    • If users only hold the aforementioned token(s) in the form of collateral: 

      • If the Collateral Margin Level (CML) is above 2, the aforementioned token(s) will be transferred to users’ Spot Wallets, up to the point when the CML reaches 2. The remaining tokens in their Cross Margin accounts that are to be delisted will then be fully sold. 

      • If the CML is below 2, the remaining tokens in users’ Cross Margin accounts that are to be delisted will be fully sold. 

    • If users only hold the aforementioned token(s) in the form of liabilities:

      • If CML is at or above 2, pending orders will not be affected. 

      • If the CML is below 2, all pending orders in their Cross Margin accounts will be canceled. 

      • The system will then sell other collateral tokens to buy and fully repay the delisting token(s)’ liabilities.

  • Please note that users will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, and they are strongly advised to close their positions and/or transfer their assets from Margin Wallets to Spot Wallets prior to the cessation of margin trading at 2024-10-23 06:00 (UTC). Binance will not be responsible for any potential losses.

  • Portfolio Margin users are advised to transfer the aforementioned token(s) out of their Margin Wallets to their Spot Wallets and to top up their margin balance before 2024-10-23 06:00 (UTC) where applicable. Users should monitor the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (uniMMR) closely to avoid any potential liquidation that may result from the removal of the aforementioned token(s) from the Margin Wallet. 

  • All KLAY balances in Cross Margin Wallet under the Portfolio Margin account will be automatically converted to USDT from 2024-10-23 06:00 (UTC). The conversion may take approximately 24 hours or longer. Binance Margin will not be liable for any losses on new positions during this period that may incur due to the conversion of funds.

  • A separate announcement will be made for relisting.
