Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced the delisting of six altcoins—PowerPool (CVP), Ellipsis (EPX), ForTube (FOR), Loom Network (LOOM), Reef (REEF), and VGX Token (VGX). This led to sharp price drops for each token.
Starting August 26, 2024, at 03:00 UTC, Binance will halt all spot trading for these tokens and cancel any existing orders.
Deposits for these altcoins will not be accepted after August 27, 2024, but withdrawals will be allowed until November 26, 2024. Binance may later convert these tokens into stablecoins, though this is not guaranteed.
Additionally, Binance will automatically convert 15 previously delisted altcoins into the USDC stablecoin based on user holdings as of September 2, 2024, to provide a stable value.
These altcoins include Bitcoin Gold (BTG), Bitcoin Standard Hashrate Token (BTCST), Bitshares (BTS), District0x (DNT), Groestlcoin (GRS), Hegic (HEGIC), MobileCoin (MOB), Monero (XMR), Monetha (MTH), Multichain (MULTI), Navcoin (NAV), Sologenic (SOLO), Spartan Protocol (SPARTA), Symbol (XYM), and Tribe (TRIBE).
