Binance has just announced that it will remove support for five major cryptocurrencies on some of the largest blockchain networks, starting at 8:00 UTC on January 22, 2026. Although the coins will not be delisted, users who send funds to the specified chains after this time risk losing them once and for all.
The pairs involved span many different ecosystems. Arbitrum (ARB) and 0G (0G) will no longer be supported through the Ethereum network. Additionally, 1 INCH is cut on BNB Smart Chain, Kite (KITE) on AVAX-C Chain and Turbo (TURBO) on Solana.
In practice, this means that you cannot make or receive cross-chain deposits or withdrawals for these tokens on the networks from which they are now excluded. The platform indicated that deposits made through these channels after the deadline will not be credited and could result in a total loss of assets.
But users can still transfer these coins using other Binance-supported chains, provided there is enough liquidity.
Are the assets safe?
Choosing a network says a lot. Ethereum and Solana dominate decentralized finance and meme coin flows and BNB Chain has long been a cheaper DeFi alternative. Cutting 1 inch from Solana’s BNB and TURBO cuts off much of the retail access.
What’s particularly ironic is that ARB was actually developed as a scaling solution for Ethereum, but it is now removed from the network.
No official reason has been given, but it could have something to do with the cost of maintaining the bridge, network fees or the risk of non-compliance.
For now, this is a clear sign: if you hold one of these five tokens, it’s time to double-check which network it’s on.
