Binance will delist eight tokens on April 1, 2026, removing all spot trading pairs for Arena-Z (A2Z), Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH), Hooked Protocol (HOOK), IDEX, Loopring (LRC), Neutron (NTRN), Radiant Capital (RDNT), and SXP. Holders of any of these tokens on Binance need to act before the deadline or risk being unable to trade their positions on the exchange.
The Eight Tokens Binance Is Removing on April 1
The full list of tokens being delisted from Binance on April 1 is: Arena-Z (A2Z), Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH), Hooked Protocol (HOOK), IDEX, Loopring (LRC), Neutron (NTRN), Radiant Capital (RDNT), and SXP. All spot trading pairs for these tokens will be removed on that date.
The announcement triggered immediate sell-offs across all eight tokens. Several of the affected altcoins crashed hard following the delisting news, as traders rushed to exit positions before liquidity dries up.
The delisting covers spot markets on Binance. Traders holding any of these tokens should verify whether their specific trading pairs, such as A2Z/USDT or FORTH/BTC, are still active or have already been flagged for removal ahead of the April 1 cutoff.
Why Binance Is Delisting These Tokens
Binance periodically reviews its listed tokens against criteria including trading volume, project development activity, team responsiveness, and network stability. Tokens that fail to meet these standards during review cycles become candidates for removal.
The exchange warned about these tokens last week before confirming the delistings. This pattern of advance notice followed by formal removal is consistent with Binance’s standard review process rather than an emergency compliance action.
Several of the affected projects have seen declining activity and trading volumes over recent months. Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH) is a governance token for a protocol that has seen reduced engagement, while IDEX and Loopring (LRC) have faced competitive pressure from newer decentralized exchange and Layer 2 solutions.
This delisting follows a broader pattern of exchanges pruning low-activity tokens. Exchange listing and delisting decisions can sharply move token prices, as demonstrated when Arthur Hayes bought ETHFI hours before its Upbit listing, triggering a notable price spike.
What Token Holders Must Do Before the April 1 Deadline
Holders of any of the eight tokens on Binance have a limited window to act. Trading pairs will be removed on April 1, but Binance typically keeps withdrawals open for a period after spot trading ends. Holders should verify the exact withdrawal deadline on Binance’s official announcement page.
After delisting, any remaining balances on Binance may be subject to auto-conversion or may simply become non-tradeable on the platform. Binance’s specific policy on retained balances varies by delisting event, so checking the official support page for this particular removal is critical.
For those who want to continue holding, withdrawing to a personal wallet before the deadline is the safest course of action. Several of these tokens, including LRC, NTRN, and RDNT, remain listed on other centralized exchanges and decentralized platforms. Checking market pages on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap will show which alternative venues still support trading.
The price drops following the announcement have been significant across all eight tokens. Delisted tokens typically see reduced liquidity and wider spreads on remaining exchanges, making quick exits more costly.
In the current market environment, where Bitcoin has struggled to hold $70K amid Federal Reserve uncertainty, smaller altcoins face even greater downside risk when losing access to a major trading venue. The Fed’s recent decision to keep rates unchanged at the March 2026 FOMC meeting has added further pressure across crypto markets.
Binance users holding any of the eight tokens should visit the exchange’s official announcement for the exact timeline, including the final withdrawal date and any auto-conversion policies that may apply to remaining balances after April 1.
