Binance reaches the main execution phase of the Stargate Finance token merger into LayerZero on October 6.
For Binances global platform:
STG/USDT trading ends at 03:00 UTC
and:
STG deposits and withdrawals suspend at 03:30 UTC.
Binance says affected STG balances will be converted to ZRO at:
1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO
Why STG is being merged into ZRO
Stargate became part of the LayerZero ecosystem through acquisition/consolidation.
The token structure is being consolidated so ZRO becomes the surviving token for Binances supported merger process.
This is a token-structure migration, not a security exploit.
Global Binance spot timeline
At:
03:00 UTC on October 6
Binance removes:
- STG/USDT;
and cancels pending STG spot orders.
Existing ZRO spot trading remains unaffected.
Deposit and withdrawal cutoff
At:
03:30 UTC
Binance suspends STG deposits and withdrawals.
The global notice says that after the merger is completed:
old STG deposits and withdrawals will no longer be supported.
Users should not send old STG after the cutoff expecting it to be credited.
Conversion ratio
Binances stated conversion ratio is:
1 STG = 0.08634 ZRO
This is platform conversion under the event terms.
It is not a floating market execution chosen by the user.
Trading Bots and copy trading
Spot Copy Trading support was removed earlier, on October 5.
Trading Bot support for the affected STG pair is also removed with spot trading.
Users relying on automation should not assume the bot itself performs a separate risk-free conversion.
Existing ZRO pairs remain
The merger does not shut ZRO spot markets.
Binance says existing ZRO trading pairs remain available.
After conversion, the users exposure changes from:
- STG;
to:
- ZRO;
under the stated ratio.
Important UK platform exception
Binances UK platform has published a different notice.
It says:
Binance UK will not support the STG→ZRO merger.
UK STG/USDT spot trading still ends at:
- 03:00 UTC.
UK STG deposits/withdrawals still suspend at:
- 03:30 UTC.
But after the event:
- STG deposits remain unsupported;
- STG withdrawals are expected to resume and continue.
This is materially different from automatic global conversion.
Why legal entity/platform scope matters
A user seeing “Binance supports STG→ZRO” must check which Binance platform/entity serves the account.
Global and UK treatment are not identical.
This can affect:
- whether STG becomes ZRO automatically;
- whether the user retains old STG;
- whether withdrawal is the only post-event option.
Do not use a random migration address
Global Binance says it handles technical requirements for users affected by the supported merger.
Users should not:
- send STG to a social-media “migration wallet”;
- disclose seed phrases;
- sign arbitrary token approvals;
because of the event.
UK users should follow the UK-specific withdrawal instructions rather than a global merger assumption.
Project-level conversion versus exchange conversion
Even after an exchange closes old-token support, project-level conversion mechanisms can have a different timeline.
Users in self-custody need to follow official LayerZero/Stargate instructions.
WikiBit does not assume Binances cutoff equals the final protocol-level conversion deadline.
