Binance announced it would delist eight Token on April 1, 2026, causing all affected assets to plummet by double digits shortly afterward.
The Token to be delisted from the exchange include Arena-Z (A2Z), Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH), Hooked Protocol (HOOK), IDEX (IDEX), Loopring (LRC), Neutron (NTRN), Radiant Capital (RDNT), and Solar (SXP).
Prices plummeted as traders engaged in a mass sell-off.
All eight Token plummeted within minutes of the announcement. Leading the sell-off was A2Z, down 16.19%. IDEX followed with a 17.64% drop, FORTH lost 16.34%, and NTRN fell 15.19%.
HOOK fell 14.16%, LRC fell 12.18%, and RDNT fell 10.95%. SXP was the least declining Token at 8.33%, however, SXP had already been gradually delisted from trading pairs on Binance since mid-2024.
This sell-off is not uncommon. Token delisted by Binance often cause a rapid outflow of funds due to reduced liquidation and empty Order Book .
Things users should know
The impact extends beyond Spot Trading. Binance Futures will automatically settle all open contracts related to these Token on March 24th. Margin lending will be suspended starting March 19th, and these Token will be officially delisted from margin lending by March 24th.
Simple Earn products will be discontinued after March 25th. Services such as lending, Binance Pay, mining pools, and copy trading will also be discontinued sequentially before the April 1st deadline.
Token deposits will be suspended from April 2nd. Users can still withdraw Token until June 1st, after which Binance may mandate the conversion of remaining balances to stablecoins.
Binance stated that the reasons for delisting these Token were weak development, low volume , poor liquidation , and governance issues. Some of these Token had recently received warning tags, signaling increased risk.
RDNT faced further significant challenges. Radiant Capital suffered a $50 million loss in October 2024 due to a hacking of its Multisignature wallet. The project has yet to regain market trust since then.
Binance has accelerated the delisting of Token in 2026. This move indicates that projects that fail to maintain momentum, safety standards, and liquidation will be increasingly scrutinized by Binance.
