Binance Drops XRP/MXN Pair as Ripple Partner Bitso Gobbles Up All the Volume CATEGORY: Industry News

Binance has unveiled plans to delist its $XRP/Mexican peso trading pair, with the ax falling on April 24 at 03:00 UTC. The world's largest crypto exchange is giving users the boot and urging them to close any open positions before the cutoff. On the surface, this might look like XRP losing ground in Mexico—but the numbers have a different story to tell.

According to CoinMarketCap, Binance's daily trading volume for this pair is a cool $2,868. In the other corner, Mexican exchange Bitso is absolutely crushing it with over $2.23 million in daily volume for the exact same pairing. The liquidity gap is similarly dramatic: Bitso sits comfortably with roughly $776,000 sloshing around within 2% of the market price, while Binance scrapes together just over $2,400 at similar levels. For anyone trying to move real money on Binance's platform, they'd better brace themselves for some serious price slippage.

The delisting actually highlights just how well Ripple's regional game plan is working. Bitso, acting as a key infrastructure node in the Ripple Payments system, has nailed down real-economy use cases for XRP. The exchange now functions as the go-to liquidity bridge for cross-border transfers between the United States and Mexico, enabling near-instant conversion of dollars into pesos via the XRP ledger.

Market watchers point out that Binance still pulls in the crowds for speculative USDT trading on a global scale, but local fiat corridors in Mexico have clearly migrated over to Ripple's strategic partners. For anyone hunting for genuine payments into Mexico, Bitso remains the heavyweight champion with the deepest liquidity and most rock-solid pricing in the game.
