Binance is removing 14 tokens from its platform on April 16, 2025, at 03:00 UTC. Trading for these tokens will cease afterward, and users can withdraw their holdings until June 9, 2025. However, no new deposits or trading of the delisted tokens will be permitted thereafter. This decision follows a first-of-its-kind “Vote to Delist” process implemented by Binance where community members directly contributed to selecting which tokens would be reviewed for delisting. Binance also conducted its own independent evaluation before making this choice. 7 8 The exchange stated that the final decision was based on several factors, including token activity levels, trading volume, team commitment, liquidity, and responses to Binance’s compliance checks. Notably, community feedback from a newly introduced voting feature launched in 2025 has also been considered. 9 10 11 The tokens set for delisting include Badger DAO (BADGER), Balancer (BAL), Beta Finance (BETA), Cream Finance (CREAM), Cortex (CTXC), Aelf (ELF), Firo (FIRO), Kava Lend (HARD), NULS (NULS), Prosper (PROS), Status (SNT), TROY (TROY), UniLend (UFT), and VIDT DAO (VIDT). A total of 103,000 votes were cast in the vote, submitted by over 24,000 users. After removing invalid or fake votes, approximately 93,000 votes were counted. The token vote had a high level of participation with TROY receiving 4,985 votes for removal and SNT receiving 3,533 votes. The tokens like BADGER and BAL also made the list. Notably, $FTT received over 10,000 votes to be removed, but it was not delisted. This has led some users to question how Binance ultimately makes final decisions. The
