Major Tokens Delisted by Binance Exchange– Market Faces Uncertainty

Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced plans to remove several digital assets from its platform, effective February 24. In an official statement, the Binance exchange confirmed that it will delist AirDAO, Clover Finance, StormX, and Vite after a periodic review revealed that these tokens no longer meet the exchange’s listing standards.

“When a coin or token no longer meets these standards or the industry landscape changes, we conduct a more in-depth review and potentially delist it,” Binance stated in its official announcement.

Impact of the Delisting on Traders

The delisting will take effect at 03:00 UTC on Feb. 24, removing trading pairs such as AMB/USDT, CLV/BTC, CLV/USDT, STMX/TRY, STMX/USDT, and VITE/USDT.

Additionally, deposits and withdrawals for these tokens will be disabled after Feb. 25 at 03:00 UTC. Binance exchange has assured traders that they may still be able to convert delisted tokens into stablecoins, but only after April 25 at 03:00 UTC.

The Binance Funding Rate Arbitrage Bot will also close arbitrage strategies and automatically settle trades for AMBUSDT and STMXUSDT on Feb. 20 at 05:30 UTC.

Market Reaction – Sharp Price Declines

Following the announcement, all four tokens experienced a significant price drop. VITE saw the most severe decline, plunging by nearly 45% minutes after Binance published the delisting notice. The token is now trading around $0.0045.

Similarly, AirDAO (AMB) fell by 37% to $0.0025, marking a 60% decline over the past month. Last year, AirDAO suffered a hack resulting in a loss of 126.5 ETH and 41.61 million AMB tokens, later transferred to multiple exchanges, including Binance.

Clover Finance’s CLV dropped 12.3% after the news and is now priced at $0.0417. Meanwhile, STMX fell by 6.5%following the delisting.

According to CoinGecko, Binance exchange is the dominant exchange for these assets, contributing to over 72% of trading volume for AirDAO and Vite.

What Led to the Delisting?

Binance Exchange conducts regular asset reviews to determine whether cryptocurrencies meet its listing criteria. While the exchange did not specify individual reasons for removing these tokens, factors that typically influence delistings include:

• Declining trading volume and liquidity
• Security vulnerabilities or past hacks
• Failure to meet regulatory and compliance standards
• Development or community issues

Industry experts believe that low liquidity and security concerns may have influenced Binance’s decision.

“This delisting reflects Binance’s approach to maintaining quality assets on its platform and protecting investors,” said crypto analyst Michael Carter.

Binance Exchange Growing Oversight in Crypto Market

As the largest crypto exchange, Binance’s listing and delisting decisions significantly impact the market. The exchange regularly evaluates its assets to ensure they comply with industry and regulatory standards.

Last year, Binance exchange delisted several other tokens, including GFT, IRIS, KEY, OAX, and REN on December 10.

As more governments and financial institutions increase oversight of digital assets, Binance’s strict evaluation process is likely to continue.

What Should Investors Do Next?

For users holding these delisted assets, Binance exchange advises them to withdraw or convert their holdings before April 25, 2025.

Investors should also consider alternative platforms where these tokens are still supported, such as KuCoin, MEXC, and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Crypto analyst Daniel Wright advises traders to diversify their holdings. “Events like this highlight the risks of relying on a single exchange. Traders should consider multiple platforms to hedge against unexpected delistings.”

Conclusion

Binance’s latest delisting marks a significant shakeup for holders of AirDAO, Clover Finance, StormX, and Vite. With steep price drops following the announcement, the affected projects may face long-term liquidity and adoption challenges.

As Binance Exchange continues to tighten its listing policies, investors must stay informed and diversify their portfolios to navigate the evolving cryptocurrency market. Keep following The Bit Journal and keep an eye on the Binance exchange listing.
