Binance flags ACX, LSK and STX as possible delisting risks

Binance has added Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK) and Stacks ($STX) to its Monitoring Tag list after completing its latest project reviews.

The change took effect on July 24, 2026, and places the three tokens under closer checks for volatility, liquidity, development activity and operational risk. The decision does not stop spot trading or related services.

The exchange said Monitoring Tag assets carry higher volatility and risk than other listed tokens. However, the tag does not mean Binance has decided to remove ACX, LSK or $STX. The company said the tokens are “at risk of no longer meeting our listing criteria and being delisted” if later reviews find continued concerns.

Binance expands its risk review list

Binance reviews tagged projects at regular intervals. Its assessment covers team commitment, development quality, trading volume, liquidity, network security and smart contract stability. The exchange also checks public communication, responses to due diligence requests and any major changes to token supply or tokenomics.

The review also considers evidence of fraud, negligence or conduct that may harm the wider market. Binance did not give a project-specific reason for adding each token. It also said other services linked to ACX, LSK and $STX would remain available, while the new tags would appear shortly after the notice. Binance can later remove the tag or move toward delisting after further checks. The exchange said the process aims to ensure listed assets continue to meet its current compliance standards.

ACX, LSK and $STX face market pressure

Market data showed different reactions across the three assets. At the time of writing, Binance listed $STX near $0.150, down about 10.4% over 24 hours. ACX traded near $0.041 after a 2.6% decline. Separate market data placed LSK near $0.085 as traders assessed the announcement. Prices may continue to change as trading activity develops.

ACX joined Binance in December 2024 with a Seed Tag and rose about 147% after the listing announcement. More recently, Across Protocol approved a plan that gives holders a route to exchange ACX for equity in a new U.S. company or accept a USDC buyout. Binance did not say whether that restructuring influenced its decision.

Projects continue separate development plans

Lisk has also changed its network structure in recent years. The project moved from its original layer-1 model to the Optimism Superchain. As crypto.news reported, its community later considered whether to burn 100 million LSK, equal to 25% of the planned supply, or place the tokens in a long-term DAO fund.

Stacks, meanwhile, continues to develop Bitcoin-based smart contract products. The network uses $STX for fees, smart contract execution and miner rewards. In 2025, digital asset custodian Hex Trust added support for $STX and sBTC, expanding institutional access to the Stacks ecosystem.

The Monitoring Tag now makes Binance’s future reviews the main listing test for all three tokens. A project can later lose the tag if the exchange finds that conditions have improved. It can also face delisting if Binance decides it no longer meets the platform’s standards.

Trading remains available, and Binance said other services will not be affected. The exchange plans to update the Monitoring Tag labels after publication. It did not set a date for the next review or give a timetable for a delisting decision.
