The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange announced another amendment to its platform, which is particularly focused on popular altcoins such as Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), Zcash (ZEC), and more. It also plans to remove certain trading pairs that no longer meet the necessary criteria. The Newcomers Binance said it will open trading for AVAX/U, LINK/U, LTC/U, PAXG/U, and ZEC/U on March 5th. Trading bots services for these pairs will be enabled on the same day. The initiative is once again centered on U (United Stables) – a stablecoin launched in late 2025 and pegged to the American dollar. To stimulate adoption, Binance will introduce a zero-fee promotion for eligible users on U spot and margin trading pairs. Over the past few weeks, the exchange has added ADA/U, DOGE/U, and PEPE/U to its Cross Margin section, while XRP/U, SUI/U, ASTER/U, and PAXG/U were listed on its Spot market. AVAX, LINK, LTC, and ZEC are all in green territory today (March 3rd), but their gains are likely driven by the broader market rebound rather than Binance’s announcement. While the company can trigger a major pump for a given cryptocurrency, this usually happens after an initial listing, not after introducing additional pairs. Meanwhile, PAX Gold (PAXG) is down 4% on a daily scale following a pullback in the price of the yellow metal. The cryptocurrency is backed by real, physical gold, where each token represents one fine troy ounce stored in secure vaults. These Pairs Will be Removed In addition to offering more trading options, Binance has also chosen to delist certain pairs that no longer meet its standards. It will say goodbye to the cross margin pairs CHZ/BTC, CAKE/BTC, ENA/BTC, UNI/ETH, CRV/BTC, INJ/BTC, XTZ/BTC, and the isolated margin ones FET/BTC, OP/BTC, PAXG/BTC, CHZ/BTC, CAKE/BTC, ENA/BTC, CRV/BTC, INJ/BTC, XTZ/BTC on March 5th. “Users will no longer be able to transfer any amount of assets of the aforementioned pair(s) via manual transfers and Auto-Transfer Mode into their Isolated Margin accounts. If users hold outstanding liabilities of said tokens, these users may only manually transfer up to the amount of liabilities of that token into their Isolated Margin accounts, less any collateral already available,” the company explained. In addition, Binance warned that clients will not be able to update their positions during the delisting process, which may take approximately three hours. The disclosure hasn’t weighed on the prices of the involved cryptocurrency, as most have still posted daily gains in line with the broader market rebound.

AI crypto fraud activity has jumped by 500% over the past year, according to a recent report from TRM Labs. The report added that artificial intelligence greatly boosts the scale and speed of crypto hacks. This indicates the fast use of generative AI in fraud, such as phishing, identity theft, and money laundering. AI boosts social engineering scams and automated fraud in crypto Before the release of AI models, large crypto scams relied on human labor, like call centers and trained operators. But now, AI has removed many of these limits. The report explained that AI helps hackers automate, customize, and expand crypto crimes. It added that threat actors use generative AI to quickly write and design phishing emails and fake investment websites, and even to create realistic chatbots. Large language models, or LLMs, help scammers create personalized messages with a higher chance of engagement. Moreover, AI translation tools help fraudsters localize scams across languages and regions. The report added that deepfake audio and video speed up impersonation. Criminals use this technology to “mimic executives, romantic partners, or public figures with increasing realism.” AI aids scammers in building trust with their victims. It creates convincing stories and handles hundreds of conversations from victims at once. AI essentially sped up and eased Pig butchering and romance scams . TRM also explained that machine learning tools can test stolen usernames and passwords in bulk. It can go through seed phrases and private keys and steal funds within seconds. Moreover, machine learning can identify weaknesses in smart contracts and help hackers quickly attack entire blockchain protocols. “Artificial intelligence does not merely increase outreach volume; it accelerates the entire fraud lifecycle,” stated the report. Last month, a crypto whale lost 1,459 BTC and 2.05 million LTC after falling victim to a social engineering scam. The scammers deceived the victim into approving fraudulent transactions, accessed his hardware wallet, and looted a whopping $282 million. In 2024, an employee of a British engineering firm fell victim to a deepfake scam and transferred around $26 million to Hong Kong bank accounts. Two days ago, US Federal agents in North Carolina seized over $61 million in Tether’s USDT. Investigators found that the seized money came from crypto wallets linked to laundering stolen funds from pig butchering schemes. Last year, illicit crypto transactions reached a record volume of $158 billion. This is a rise of about 145% from the previous year. Around $30 billion of the total losses resulted from scams, according to TRM Labs. The rise in AI crypto fraud isn’t surprising. Vectra AI stated that AI scams jumped by 1,210%. The firm expects to hit $40 billion by next year. Chainalysis echoed TRM Labs’s finding in a recent X post. The blockchain analysis firm stated , “AI‑enabled scams pulled in 4.5× more revenue per operation and generated 9× more daily transactions than non‑AI scams.” The firm reiterated that combating AI-driven crypto scams requires defenders to adopt similar tools, stating that “if bad actors are using AI, defenders should too.” If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.
