Binance Will Delist 14 Tokens on April 16 After First Community Vote
Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced that it will delist 14 tokens from its platform on April 16, 2025, after the first round of its “Vote to Delist” program, a new initiative to empower its community.
The list of tokens to be delisted includes: BADGER, BAL, BETA, CREAM, CTXC, ELF, FIRO, HARD, NULS, PROS, SNT, TROY, UFT, and VIDT.
Over 93,000 Validated Votes from the Community
In this first round of voting, over 103,000 votes were recorded from over 24,000 participants, of which approximately 93,000 were validated after removing invalid votes. To participate in the vote, users need to hold a minimum of 0.01 BNB in their accounts.
Binance said the delisting decision was not only based on the voting results but also combined with rigorous internal reviews. Factors such as low trading volume, lack of development updates, low community engagement, as well as violations of internal standards or legal regulations were the main reasons for this action.
Delisting Schedule
All trading pairs for these 14 tokens will be removed at 03:00 UTC on April 16. Binance will stop accepting deposits for the tokens involved, but users will still be able to withdraw assets until June 9, 2025. After that time, any remaining token balances that have not been withdrawn will likely be converted to stablecoins.
A Tightening Regulatory Landscape
The move comes after Binance delisted USDT (Tether) from its spot trading pairs in the European Economic Area (EEA) on March 31, in compliance with new regulations under the European Union’s Markets in Cryptoassets Act (MiCA).
MiCA requires exchanges to ensure transparency, security, and strict compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, forcing platforms to conduct more thorough due diligence on tokens they list.
Binance also warned that tokens that were not delisted this time may still be removed in the future if they do not meet platform standards.
