Binance to Delist Eight Tokens on April 1 as Several Crash Between 10% and 25% on the News

Binance has confirmed it will remove eight tokens from its platform on April 1, 2026, triggering immediate and sharp price declines across the affected assets within hours of the announcement.

The tokens facing delisting are A2Z, FORTH, HOOK, IDEX, LRC, NTRN, RDNT, and SXP, with trading ceasing at 03:00 UTC on the listed date.

The Market Reaction

The announcement landed on March 18 and the price impact was immediate. IDEX and LRC saw the steepest declines, each dropping over 25% in a short window following the news. FORTH, HOOK, and NTRN fell by more than 20%. SXP dropped approximately 10%. The moves reflect the well-established dynamic of Binance delistings, where removal from the world’s largest crypto exchange by volume effectively eliminates a significant portion of an asset’s accessible liquidity and retail reach in a single announcement.

For smaller tokens with limited presence on other exchanges, a Binance delisting is often the most consequential single event that can happen to a project outside of a protocol failure or hack. The price action across all eight tokens on March 18 was consistent with that reality playing out in real time.

Key Dates Users Need to Know

The delisting process follows a structured timeline with several deadlines that affected holders need to act on before they pass.

Futures and margin positions in all eight tokens will be automatically closed and settled on March 24, 2026. Users holding these assets through Binance Margin or Binance Futures do not have the option to manage their own exit after that date. Outstanding loans against these tokens will also be closed on the same date.

Simple Earn products involving the affected assets will be delisted after March 25, 2026. Spot trading continues until April 1 at 03:00 UTC, after which trading pairs will be removed entirely. Deposits will no longer be credited after April 2, 2026. The final deadline is June 1, 2026, after which withdrawals for these tokens will no longer be supported on the platform.

Users with active Trading Bots or Spot Copy Trading portfolios involving any of the eight tokens are specifically advised to cancel those positions manually before the relevant deadlines to avoid automated losses.

Why Binance Delists Tokens

Binance conducts periodic reviews of listed assets against a set of criteria that covers both project fundamentals and market metrics. The factors that can trigger a delisting include declining or insufficient trading volume and liquidity, deteriorating network stability or security vulnerabilities, lack of active development or team commitment to the project, and poor responsiveness to Binance’s own due diligence requests.

The exchange does not typically provide detailed breakdowns of which specific criteria led to each individual delisting, but the combination of factors assessed gives a broad picture of what Binance expects from projects it continues to support. Tokens that score poorly across multiple categories simultaneously are the most likely candidates for removal.

For the eight tokens announced on March 18, the timing of the review and the breadth of the list suggests this was a routine periodic evaluation rather than a response to any single project-specific event. That said, the market impact is the same regardless of the process behind it. Holders of these assets now have a defined window to manage their positions, and the June 1 withdrawal deadline is the hard cutoff that should be treated as the most critical date on the calendar for anyone still holding these tokens on Binance after April 1.
