Binance has announced the delisting of six tokens—Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX (PIVX), Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Vanar (VANRY), and Viction (VIC)—from its spot trading platform, effective August 17, 2026 at 03:00 UTC. The decision follows a periodic review that evaluates assets against a set of rigorous standards.
The exchange outlined the criteria driving the decision, including the level and quality of development activity, trading volume and liquidity, network security against attacks, community transparency, and responsiveness to due diligence requests. Changes in tokenomics, regulatory requirements, or team structure are also considered. Binance emphasized that the move is aimed at protecting users and maintaining platform quality.
Prior to the spot removal, a series of service cutoffs will occur. Futures trading will halt new positions on August 7 at 08:30 UTC, with automatic settlement at 09:00 UTC. Margin borrowing stops on August 4, while VIP Loans and Flexible Loans close at 07:00 UTC on the same day. Binance Pool, Binance Pay, and Spot Copy Trading will also end support for the affected pairs on August 7 and August 10 respectively. The exchange’s Convert feature will remove the tokens at 02:00 UTC on August 17, one hour before spot trading ceases. Deposits after 03:00 UTC on August 18 will not be credited, but withdrawals will remain available until October 17 at 03:00 UTC.
Four of the six tokens—PIVX, PYR, VANRY, and ACX—had been placed under Binance’s Monitoring Tag between June 18 and July 24, indicating elevated risk and the possibility of delisting. Users trading these tagged assets must pass a risk quiz every 90 days. The delisting also follows external events: Coinbase suspended ACX trading on July 28, citing the project’s winding down and a proposed buyout plan. For VANRY, Binance will not support Vanar’s migration to the Base network, advising holders to use the project’s official portal for a 1:1 swap to the new token. Vanar has warned users to rely solely on verified channels to avoid scams.
The delisted tokens have relatively small market caps ranging from under $4 million to $38 million. The exchange may convert remaining balances to stablecoins after October 18, but this is not guaranteed. Binance’s notice provides a uniform timeline but no token-specific findings, leaving future developments to individual project responses and any adjustments in withdrawal or migration arrangements.
