Bye-Bye, Low-Quality Tokens
Binance is cleaning house. The crypto giant announced it will remove 14 tokens from its platform on April 16, 2025. But this time, it’s not just a business decision — it’s community-powered.
For the first time ever, Binance let users vote for projects they believe no longer deserve a spot on the exchange. Turns out, a lot of tokens weren’t making the cut.
The Tokens Getting Kicked Out
Here’s the full list of soon-to-be delisted tokens:
- Badger (BADGER)
- Balancer (BAL)
- Beta Finance (BETA)
- Cream Finance (CREAM)
- Cortex (CTXF)
- Aaelf (ELF)
- Firo (FIRO)
- Kava Lend (HARD)
- NULS (NULS)
- Prosper (PROS)
- Status (SNT)
- TROY (TROY)
- UniLend (UFT)
- VIDT DAO (VIDT)
Some of these projects were once hyped stars. Others… not so much.
Why Binance Is Doing This
Binance looked at several factors before pulling the plug:
- Project team commitment
- Development activity
- Trading volume and liquidity
- Network stability
- Response to Binance’s due diligence checks
- New regulatory requirements
Basically, if a project looked lazy, unstable, or sketchy — it’s out.
Binance Isn’t Playing Around
Over the past year, Binance has tightened its rules for getting and staying listed. It even extended its “cliff period” — meaning projects can’t sell their tokens immediately after launch — to at least one year.
This is all part of Binance’s plan to protect investors and clean up the crypto space. And with over 13 million tokens floating around in the wild, it’s probably a good idea.
