Binance is pulling six altcoin trading pairs from its platform starting August 17, 2026. Spot markets for Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX (PIVX), Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Vanar (VANRY), and Viction (VIC) will no longer be available. The move follows a full reassessment of the tokens against Binance's updated quality standards.
New Evaluation Criteria Leading to Delistings
The exchange has revised its screening process to weigh several factors more heavily. These include the ongoing development efforts of project teams, trading volume and liquidity, network security, and how transparent projects remain with their communities. Binance also examines responses to due diligence inquiries, as well as any reports of unethical conduct or negligence. Changes in token supply, shifts in ownership, and community sentiment further influence the platform’s decisions.
Impact on Traders and Platform Quality
Binance stresses that these delistings aim to protect users and maintain high standards across its offerings. Traders holding affected tokens should review their positions and open orders before the August deadline. This update follows a pattern of Binance removing assets that don’t meet evolving industry benchmarks or regulatory demands. Such moves echo a broader trend seen recently when Binance removed six tokens after prior warnings, leading to significant price drops and shifts in market sentiment.
