Binance announced it will delist six cryptocurrencies from its spot trading platform effective August 17, 2026, at 03:00 UTC. The tokens affected are Across Protocol (ACX),Hashflow (HFT),PIVX, Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR),Vanar (VANRY) and Viction (VIC). All associated spot trading pairs will be removed, and outstanding orders will be canceled automatically.

The decision followed the exchange’s regular evaluation of listed assets. Binance assesses factors such as project development activity, team commitment, trading volume and liquidity, network security, community communication, responses to due diligence requests, regulatory requirements, changes in token supply or economics, and overall project quality. Assets that no longer meet these standards may be removed to help maintain platform quality and user protection.

Monitoring Tags Preceded the Decision

Each of the six tokens had previously received a Monitoring Tag, an early indicator that an asset faces closer scrutiny and elevated risk of removal. Viction received the tag on April 30, 2026. Hashflow followed on May 22, PIVX on June 18, and both PYR and VANRY on July 3. Across Protocol was tagged most recently on July 24. The duration of the warning period therefore ranged from roughly three and a half weeks to more than fifteen weeks before the delisting announcement.

Monitoring Tags require users to complete a risk acknowledgment periodically and signal that the exchange is conducting a deeper review. The tags do not guarantee delisting, yet in this case all six tagged assets moved to full removal from spot markets.

Staggered Closure of Related Products

While spot trading ends on August 17, several other services close earlier. Margin borrowing for the six tokens is suspended beginning August 4. On August 7, Binance Futures will settle all open contracts and close the pairs, while margin trading (both cross and isolated),Binance Pay and mining pool support also end. Spot Copy Trading removes the pairs on August 10, with any remaining holdings transferred to spot accounts where necessary. Simple Earn positions are redeemed on the same day. Convert Low-Value Assets support ends on August 14. Convert services and gift cards stop supporting the tokens on August 17, one hour before spot trading ceases.

Deposits of the six tokens will no longer be credited after August 18. Withdrawals remain available until 03:00 UTC on October 17. After that date Binance may convert any residual balances into stablecoins, though conversion is not guaranteed. Users holding positions, loans or balances in these assets are advised to close, repay or transfer them ahead of the relevant deadlines to avoid automatic settlement or forced actions.

Special Handling for VANRY Migration

Vanar presents an additional operational consideration. Binance will not process VANRY’s planned token contract migration. Holders who wish to migrate to the new contract must complete the process themselves through Vanar’s official migration portal. In the interim, withdrawals of the existing VANRY token remain open on the Ethereum (ERC-20) and Polygon PoS networks, giving users a route to move assets off the exchange before finalizing the migration externally.

Market Reaction and Broader Context

Prices of the affected tokens declined sharply in the hours following the announcement. Reported declines varied across sources and time stamps, with several tokens falling between roughly 7 percent and more than 20 percent. Trading volumes rose notably for some assets as holders adjusted positions. Liquidity on Binance typically declines after delisting announcements, prompting many users to transfer holdings to other venues or wallets before trading ends.

This round brings the total number of tokens Binance has scheduled for delisting in 2026 to 21. Earlier removals occurred in February, April, May and June. The exchange continues to conduct periodic reviews of all listed assets and takes action when projects no longer satisfy its requirements. The six projects themselves are expected to continue operating independently of the Binance listing.
