Six tokens are forced to leave the Binance spot market on August 17, 2026, at 03:00 UTC. The largest crypto exchange has officially announced the delisting of Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX, Vulcan Forged (PYR), Vanar (VANRY), and Viction (VIC). This decision was made based on evaluations of liquidity, development activity, network security, team behavior, transparency, tokenomics, and regulatory changes, without detailing the main trigger for each token.
Series of Closures Ahead of the Deadline
Although the spot delisting schedule falls in the middle of the month, the deadlines for other services are rolling out much sooner. Margin lending for the affected assets has been halted since August 4 at 06:00 UTC.
The heaviest pressure looms over the derivatives market. On August 7 at 08:30 UTC, futures users will be prohibited from opening new positions. Half an hour later, all futures contracts will be force-closed and automatically settled. On the same day at 03:00 UTC, Binance Pool and Binance Pay will officially withdraw their support. VIP Loan and Flexible Loan services will follow, closing at 07:00 UTC, continuing to cross and isolated margin settlement at 10:00 UTC.
The Spot Copy Trading feature will remove the affected pairs on August 10, coinciding with the start of Simple Earn redemptions after 07:00 UTC. The low-value conversion feature will follow, being removed on August 14, before all conversion channels are completely closed on August 17 at 02:00 UTC.
Four Tokens Were Already on the Radar
This delisting does not come entirely without warning. Four of the six projects have already received warnings in the form of Monitoring Tags. PIVX received this label on June 18, followed by PYR and VANRY on July 3, and ACX on July 24.
ACX’s fate had already looked bleak since last month. Coinbase delisted it first on July 28 because the project team is ending their token cycle. This move was triggered by Across’s proposal to transition its token-based DAO into a US C-corporation, followed by a buyback offer using USDC at a price of $0.04375.
What is the Fate of VANRY Holders?
The crucial deadline for receiving deposits is August 18 at 03:00 UTC - all deposits after this hour will be lost and not credited to the balance. Withdrawal channels will indeed remain open until October 17 at 03:00 UTC, after which Binance may potentially convert users’ remaining balances into stablecoins, though without any guarantee.
However, special attention goes to VANRY holders. Binance stated that it will not facilitate the Vanar smart contract swap on the exchange. Token owners must withdraw their VANRY balances via the Ethereum or Polygon PoS network first, and then process them on the project’s native migration portal. These assets will be swapped at a 1:1 ratio to the Base network with a new supply of 10 billion tokens. The exchange only provides the exit door; taking the safety steps is purely the investor’s responsibility.
