Binance has followed through on its plans to discontinue trading for XRP leveraged tokens, specifically XRPUP and XRPDOWN, as of May 12th. The exchange had previously announced the delisting and urged customers to trade their tokens for other assets. Any customers still holding these tokens can redeem them for USDT through the dedicated Leveraged Tokens page or wallet function. This move is part of a larger trend of Binance delisting leveraged tokens, with twenty being delisted in February and six in May. Leveraged tokens are designed to amplify gains or losses in a trade, with XRPUP multiplying returns when XRP goes up and XRPDOWN multiplying returns when XRP goes down.
