Binance’s latest decision to remove several cryptocurrencies from its platform has sparked speculation about potential market turbulence.
Investors are now closely watching AERGO, AirSwap (AST), BurgerCities (BURGER), Combo (COMBO), and Linear Finance (LINA), as the delisting could lead to sharp price declines.
Major exchanges like Binance play a crucial role in shaping the crypto landscape, and the removal of assets from its trading platform often has serious consequences. The announcement immediately raised concerns that holders of these tokens might rush to sell, leading to increased volatility.
Historically, Binance’s actions have had a significant impact on prices. When the exchange has supported certain cryptocurrencies, such as Broccoli, their value surged, highlighting its market influence.
In contrast, delisting events have frequently resulted in steep declines as confidence in the affected assets diminishes.
Binance explained that regular evaluations determine whether tokens meet its listing criteria. If a project fails to maintain sufficient liquidity, regulatory compliance, security standards, or developer commitment, it risks removal. The exchange emphasized that such decisions are made to protect users and uphold industry standards.
