Binance Delists 14 Tokens
Binance Purges 14 Tokens After Community Vote
Binance has delisted 14 tokens from its platform, effective April 16th. This action is part of the exchange's ongoing effort to enhance investor protection by removing low-quality projects that fail to meet its stricter listing requirements.
The delisting follows a "vote to delist" initiative, where the Binance community nominated underperforming tokens. Other factors considered in the decision included:
- Team commitment
- Development activity
- Trading volume and liquidity
- Network stability
- Responsiveness to Binance's due diligence
- Compliance with new regulatory requirements
The delisted tokens are: Badger (BADGER), Balancer (BAL), Beta Finance (BETA), Cream Finance (CREAM), Cortex (CTXF), Aelf (ELF), Firo (FIRO), Kava Lend (HARD), NULS (NULS), Prosper (PROS), Status (SNT), TROY (TROY), UniLend (UFT), and VIDT DAO (VIDT).

Tightening Listing Requirements Across the Industry
Binance's stricter listing policies, including extending the "cliff period" to at least one year, reflect a broader trend within the cryptocurrency industry. Increased regulatory scrutiny and the sheer volume of new tokens entering the market are forcing exchanges to raise their standards.
Other exchanges like Bitget have also implemented stricter listing processes, focusing on metrics such as fully diluted valuation and investor lock-up periods. South Korean exchanges are also tightening their requirements due to new regulations.
The Oversupply of Tokens
The rapid proliferation of new tokens—over 36.4 million altcoins currently, according to analyst Ali Martinez—has led to concerns about market saturation and diluted altseason potential. This oversupply highlights the need for robust listing processes to protect investors.
