In an announcement posted on its website on Tuesday, Binance stated that the conversion rate for automatic conversions would be 1 USDT per 1,515.13 naira.

All spot trading pairs against the naira will be delisted on March 7 at 3:00 a.m. UTC. Open spot orders for these pairs will be automatically closed.

Binance Convert, Binance P2P, the exchange’s Auto Invest feature, and Binance Pay will also cease support for the naira at various dates and times.
