Binance will stop spot trading in Epic Chain (EPIC) and QuickSwap (QUICK) on October 28, 2026, at 03:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Its October 14 announcement sets separate deadlines for deposits and withdrawals, giving holders a longer window to move tokens than to trade them on the exchange. [1]
The immediate market issue is access. Losing a venue can make buying and selling less convenient, even when a token still has uses elsewhere. For QUICK, the change also puts a clear limit on the reach of its earlier Binance listing.

| Action ending | UTC | New York time |
|---|---|---|
| Spot trading | October 28, 03:00 | October 27, 11 PM EDT |
| Deposit crediting | October 29, 03:00 | October 28, 11 PM EDT |
| Withdrawal support | December 28, 03:00 | December 27, 10 PM EST |
Equal panels show different actions, not equal time intervals. These are Binance's stated cutoffs; its conditional network-dependent withdrawal extension is not assured. Binance TH has its own notice.
Trading ends before withdrawals
Spot trading means buying or selling the tokens themselves. Binance will cancel outstanding spot orders when trading ends. Deposits will no longer be credited after October 29 at 03:00 UTC; withdrawal support has a December 28 cutoff at that time. Applicable futures positions settle on October 20 at 09:00 UTC, and margin positions close at 10:00 UTC that day. [1]
Those futures contracts track a token's price rather than giving customers ownership of it. Borrowed-money trading also has a different closure process from simply holding tokens. The later withdrawal date therefore does not preserve every trading service until December.
The platform changes the deadline
Binance TH, operated by Gulf Binance in Thailand, has a separate EPIC notice. Its spot trading and deposit crediting both end October 28 at 10 AM Bangkok time. Its Easy Buy/Sell service ends October 20 at 9 AM Bangkok time. Customers cannot assume that the global platform's deposit date applies there. [2]
“the conversion of delisted tokens into stablecoins is not guaranteed”
EPIC delisting notice [2]
A possible conversion into a stablecoin, which aims to track a currency, is therefore different from a promised cash repayment. The exchange announcements do not establish a single worldwide deadline for every service or platform.
QUICK's exchange listing and its project are separate
QuickSwap operates a decentralized exchange: software lets users swap against tokens supplied to shared trading pools. Those pools are separate from Binance's order book, where buyers' and sellers' orders meet. Removing a Binance market does not itself switch off QuickSwap's trading software. [4]
QUICK is the project's native token. Its documentation describes community voting and staking uses for the new denomination. Those functions do not guarantee a convenient place to sell, a particular token price or a cash payment to every holder. [3]
The denomination matters here. QuickSwap's July 2023 listing announcement described Binance's transition from old QUICK to new QUICK at 1:1,000. That was a change in units, not a thousandfold gain in the value of a holding. Today's removal concerns exchange access, rather than announcing another token split. [5]
The next question is where trading goes
If buyers and sellers move to other venues together, trading may continue with less disruption. If they scatter or withdraw, remaining markets could become harder to trade. A working pool needs supplied tokens; the existence of exchange software alone cannot promise enough liquidity for a particular sale. [4]
Binance's decision creates a concrete access change for EPIC and QUICK. How much trading migrates remains unresolved. The separate trading and withdrawal dates define what closes next; they do not tell holders the price they will receive.
