Binance will delist ICON (ICX), Secret (SCRT), and Storj (STORJ) from spot trading on September 3 at 03:00 UTC, while separately expanding restrictions on transactions with certain crypto platforms on August 23. The exchange said the delisting follows a standard review covering team commitment, development activity, liquidity, network safety, communication, and regulatory changes.
The spot removals are the final step in a multi-service timetable. Binance Futures will close and settle affected contracts automatically on August 26 at 09:00 UTC, with new positions blocked from 08:30 UTC. Margin borrowing will be suspended on August 21 at 06:00 UTC, and the tokens will be removed from Cross, Isolated, and Portfolio Margin on August 26 at 10:00 UTC. Spot Copy Trading will delist the pairs on August 27 at 03:00 UTC, while Binance Pay removes them on August 26, Simple Earn after August 27, and Binance Convert on September 3 at 02:00 UTC. Deposits will no longer be credited after September 4, and withdrawals remain available until November 3 at 03:00 UTC. Binance said the tokens may later be converted into stablecoins, but that is not guaranteed.
Separately, Binance will stop processing transactions involving HTX (Huobi Global SA), EXMO Ltd, Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, and Exnode beginning August 23. These additions bring the total restricted platforms to 16, following earlier actions against Shelbit, Aban Tether Exchange, A7 Nigeria, A7 Africa, and PilotFinance. Binance stressed that this is not a delisting: Bitcoin, USDT, and other assets remain tradable, but transfers to or from affected counterparties may be held for compliance review, with temporary wallet restrictions possible.
Founder Changpeng Zhao also commented on US policy, saying that a fully compliant push to bring Hyperliquid into the United States could be positive for decentralized services, while Binance’s 24-hour trading volume reportedly jumped to $14.6 billion from about $4 billion, according to CoinGecko data.
