Binance will delist Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX, Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Vanar (VANRY), and Viction (VIC) on August 17. 

The exchange said its latest periodic review found the tokens no longer meet its listing standards. Prices crashed within hours of Monday’s announcement before paring some losses.

PIVX and PYR Lead Losses After Binance Delisting Notice

PIVX took the sharpest fall, trading down 19.27% at press time. PYR followed close behind with an 18.31% loss. Hashflow slid to an all-time low of $0.007 after the notice went live. At press time, HFT traded 11.47%. 

VIC posted near-identical declines, down 11.24%. ACX held up better than its peers, slipping 5.22%. VANRY was the lone gainer, up 8.23% at press time despite earlier losses.

The gain comes with a catch. Binance will not support Vanar’s contract swap plan, leaving holders to migrate tokens themselves through the project’s portal.

The declines come as no surprise. Previous delisting rounds triggered comparable sell-offs, with removed tokens routinely dropping. Losing access to the largest exchange by volume typically drains liquidity and forces holders to exit before trading closes.

Meanwhile, Binance Futures will settle all contracts for the tokens on August 7. Deposits will no longer be credited after August 18, and withdrawals will close on October 17.

Every Delisted Token Carried a Monitoring Tag First

Binance said it weighs factors including team commitment, development activity, trading volume, and network security during reviews. Regulatory changes and tokenomics shifts also feed into the decision.

“When a coin or token no longer meets these standards or the industry landscape changes, we conduct a more in-depth review and potentially delist it,” the exchange added.

The removals follow a now-familiar pattern. Binance added the Monitoring Tag to all 6 tokens before the final decision.

VIC received the label on April 30, followed by HFT on May 22 and PIVX on June 18. PYR and VANRY joined on July 3. ACX was tagged just 10 days ago, on July 24, the fastest turnaround of the batch.

The pattern puts coins like Lisk (LSK) and Stacks (STX) in focus. Both received the Monitoring Tag alongside ACX in July.
