TL;DR
- Binance will delist ACX, HFT, PIVX, PYR, VANRY and VIC on August 17, with all affected spot trading ending at 03:00 UTC that day.
- The exchange cited its recurring review process, which considers development, liquidity, security, community engagement, transparency and project-team commitment when evaluating listed assets.
- VANRY users must handle its contract migration independently, while all affected traders should cancel orders, confirm withdrawal networks and prepare for reduced liquidity.
Binance will remove six cryptocurrencies from its spot market on August 17, ending trading for Across Protocol, Hashflow, PIVX, Vulcan Forged PYR, Vanar and Viction. All spot pairs involving ACX, HFT, PIVX, PYR, VANRY and VIC will stop at 03:00 UTC. The decision gives traders a fixed deadline to review open positions, liquidity exposure and withdrawal plans before support changes. The announcement reflects another tightening of listing standards, but it also creates practical urgency because each token may react differently as market depth contracts ahead of removal during the final days of spot trading.
Listing reviews and VANRY migration create separate concerns
Binance said it periodically reviews listed assets to determine whether they still meet its requirements. The exchange evaluates factors including team commitment, development activity, trading volume, liquidity, network security, community engagement and transparency. Delisting is therefore presented as the result of an ongoing quality review rather than a sudden judgment based on one metric. For traders, that broad framework offers limited certainty because an asset can remain technically active while still failing the exchange’s combined expectations for reliability, market participation and public accountability over time across different market cycles, regulatory environments and operational conditions worldwide.
Vanar requires special attention because Binance will not support the project’s planned contract migration. Users wishing to swap VANRY must complete the process independently through the project’s migration portal. The exchange will nevertheless continue supporting withdrawals of the existing token on Ethereum and Polygon. VANRY holders face an additional operational step that does not apply in the same way to the other five assets. Missing the migration requirements could leave users holding an outdated contract, making it essential to distinguish between withdrawal support, token conversion and continued spot trading before the deadline arrives for users.
The six removals bring the number of tokens selected for delisting by Binance in 2026 to 21. Earlier rounds affected assets across multiple sectors, showing that listing status can change even after years of exchange availability. The broader message is that access on a major platform should never be mistaken for permanent endorsement or guaranteed liquidity. Traders now need to check pair closures, cancel orders, assess transfer destinations and verify network compatibility, while avoiding rushed decisions driven solely by the approaching cutoff and likely volatility around each affected token in advance.
