As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the cryptocurrency market, I find myself constantly intrigued by the ebb and flow of digital assets. The recent announcement by Binance to delist MATIC and list POL has certainly piqued my interest.


On August 28th, Binance (BNB) exchange announced that they would remove Polygon’s MATIC token from their platform and instead list a new token called POL. This was the announcement they made regarding the change.

“Starting from a specific date, Binance will remove all current Matic trading pairs such as MATIC/BNB, MATIC/BRL, MATIC/BTC, MATIC/ETH, MATIC/EUR, MATIC/FDUSD, MATIC/JPY, MATIC/TRY, MATIC/USDC, and MATIC/USDT. All outstanding Matic spot trading orders will also be terminated.”

Following the removal of the listing, all outstanding trades will be automatically voided, and all bot-related services will temporarily halt. A fresh trading opportunity for the POL token begins on the 13th of September.

For a seamless changeover, Binance will temporarily halt MATIC deposits and withdrawals starting from the 10th of September.

Even though prices were dropping, there was still a generally optimistic feeling in the market. To start with, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) stood at 0.07 positively, indicating an increase in purchasing actions.
