Furthermore, on November 9, Binance Margin will close positions, perform an automatic agreement, and cancel all pending orders on these cross and isolated margin pairings.
Binance further emphasized that users cannot update their positions during the delisting process and advised users to close their holdings and/or move their assets from Margin Wallet to Spot Wallet before the cession of margin trading on November 9, 2023, at 6:00 a.m. (UTC).
