Binance Delists Six Crypto Tokens, Sparking Price Drops Ahead of August Deadline

Binance's delisting timeline is a multi-stage process with precise cutoffs: futures contracts are blocked on Aug 7 at 08:30 UTC with remaining positions settled at 09:00 UTC; spot trading for the six tokens ends on Aug 17 at 03:00 UTC; deposits stop on Aug 18; withdrawals close on Oct 17, and Spot Copy Trading is removed on Aug 10, followed by broader liquidity and service adjustments (loans/margin actions occur around early August).
The delisting follows Binance's Monitoring Tag chronology, with each token receiving a tag before removal: VIC (Apr 30), HFT (May 22), PIVX (Jun 18), PYR and VANRY (Jul 3), and ACX (Jul 24) — representing the fastest turnaround among the batch for ACX.
Market reactions were swift and pronounced: PIVX fell about 19.27%, PYR around 18.31%, Hashflow (HFT) dropped to an all-time low near $0.007, VIC down roughly 11.24%, ACX down about 5.22%, while VANRY rose approximately 8.23% as liquidity concerns surfaced.
Binance will not support Vanar's contract swap plan, meaning Vanar (VANRY) holders must migrate tokens themselves through the project portal, highlighting ongoing liquidity and transition challenges for affected users.
In a prelude to the delisting, PIVX had already been removed from margin and loan trading pairs as of April 17, 2026, illustrating an earlier risk-management step prior to the public delisting notice.
Binance will delist six tokens — Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX, Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Vanar (VANRY), and Viction (VIC) — from spot trading on August 17, 2026, according to BeInCrypto. The exchange said the tokens no longer meet its listing standards, citing factors like developer commitment, trading liquidity, and network security.
Markets reacted fast. PIVX dropped nearly 19.27%, PYR fell about 18.31%, and Hashflow (HFT) sank to an all-time low near $0.007, Bitcoin Foundation reported. Not every token fell — VANRY actually rose roughly 8.23%, though analysts pointed to liquidity concerns as the driver.
Binance is not pulling these tokens all at once. The process runs across several weeks with precise cutoffs. Futures contracts for all six tokens are blocked on August 7 at 08:30 UTC and settled by 09:00 UTC. Spot Copy Trading ends on August 10, according to BeInCrypto.
Spot trading itself stops on August 17 at 03:00 UTC. Deposits close the next day, August 18. Withdrawals remain open until October 17, giving holders nearly two months to move their assets. Binance urged users to act before each deadline to avoid losing access.
Binance uses a system called Monitoring Tags to flag tokens that carry higher risk. Every token in this batch received one before the delisting notice. VIC got its tag on April 30, HFT on May 22, and PIVX on June 18, BeInCrypto reported.
PYR and VANRY were tagged together on July 3. ACX received its tag on July 24 — the shortest lead time in the group. PIVX had also been removed from margin and loan trading pairs back on April 17, 2026, a quiet early signal that trouble was coming.
Vanar (VANRY) holders face a unique hurdle. The Vanar project has a contract swap plan in place, but Binance will not support it, according to CryptoNews. That means VANRY holders must migrate their tokens themselves through the project's own portal.
This adds a layer of risk for casual holders who may not know a migration is needed. Missing the swap could leave users with worthless old tokens. Binance's decision to sit out the swap process puts the responsibility — and the risk — entirely on the token holder.
Binance reviews listed tokens on a rolling basis. When a token fails to meet standards — covering things like tokenomics, community transparency, and regulatory status — the exchange removes it. The six tokens in this batch represent the latest cut in that ongoing process, BeInCrypto noted.
For investors, the options are limited. They can sell before August 17, migrate tokens where needed, or withdraw assets before the October 17 withdrawal deadline. After that, access is gone. The swift price drops after Monday's announcement show how little time the market gives once a delisting is confirmed.
