Binance announced it will delist eight tokens on April 1, 2026, triggering immediate double-digit losses across all affected assets.
The tokens set for removal are Arena-Z (A2Z), Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH), Hooked Protocol (HOOK), IDEX (IDEX), Loopring (LRC), Neutron (NTRN), Radiant Capital (RDNT) and Solar (SXP).
Prices Crater as Traders Rush for the Exit
All eight tokens plunged within minutes of the announcement. A2Z led the sell-off, dropping 16.19%. IDEX followed with a 17.64% decline, while FORTH fell 16.34% and NTRN lost 15.19%.
HOOK dropped 14.16%, LRC slid 12.18% and RDNT shed 10.95%. SXP recorded the smallest decline at 8.33%, though it had already been losing trading pairs on Binance since mid-2024.

The sell-off reflects a familiar pattern. Binance delistings typically trigger rapid capital flight as liquidity thins and order books collapse.
What Users Should Know
The impact extends far beyond spot trading. Binance Futures will auto-settle all open contracts for these tokens on March 24. Margin borrowing suspensions begin as early as March 19, with full margin delisting on March 24.
Simple Earn products will be removed after March 25. Loans, Pay, mining pool support and copy trading services all face staggered shutdowns before the April 1 deadline.
Deposits will stop on April 2. Withdrawals remain open until June 1, after which Binance may forcibly convert remaining balances into stablecoins.
Binance cited weak development activity, low trading volume, poor liquidity, and governance concerns as key factors. Several of these tokens had already received monitoring tags in recent weeks, signaling elevated risk.
RDNT carried additional baggage. Radiant Capital suffered a $50 million exploit in October 2024 after attackers compromised its multi-signature wallet system. The protocol never fully recovered market confidence.

Binance has accelerated its delisting pace in 2026. The move signals that projects failing to maintain development momentum, security standards and healthy liquidity face growing scrutiny from the exchange.
