### 🔎 **Key Binance Platform Changes**

* **Margin Pair Delistings:** Binance will also remove a number of *margin trading pairs*, and automatically settle positions on those before delisting. ([Binance][2])
* **BNB Smart Chain Upgrade:** Binance confirmed support for an upcoming network upgrade and hard fork on the **BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20)** in January 2026 — keep an eye out for temporary maintenance windows. ([Binance][3])
* **New Listings Coming:** Several new tokens are expected to be listed on Binance in 2026 — tracking these early could offer opportunities (but always do your own research). ([99Bitcoins][4])
### 📈 **Tips for Using Binance in 2026**
**1️⃣ Keep up with *delisting announcements***
Binance reviews assets regularly and may remove low-liquidity pairs. Before holding or trading less-popular tokens, *check ongoing announcements* — especially if you use margin trading. ([Binance][1])
**2️⃣ Use platform features to your advantage**
Binance offers advanced tools like **copy trading** and **trading bots** — useful if you want help automating strategies, especially in volatile markets (2026 is expected to stay busy). ([Cryptonews][5])
**3️⃣ Monitor network upgrades**
Technical upgrades (like the BNB Chain fork) can temporarily affect deposits/withdrawals — plan around maintenance windows. ([Binance][3])
**4️⃣ Focus on liquidity & risk management**
Markets can move fast — especially around delistings or new listings. Avoid oversized positions on thinly traded tokens and consider using stop-loss tools. *Risk management is essential.* (general best practice)
**5️⃣ Stay aware of regulatory shifts**
Binance’s compliance landscape is evolving globally, and that sometimes affects payment options, KYC levels, and services in different regions.
