Binance has confirmed the delisting of six altcoins following its latest periodic review, giving holders a concrete timeline to act before trading, deposits, and withdrawals are permanently closed. All spot trading pairs for Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX (PIVX), Vulcan Forged PYR (PYR), Vanar (VANRY), and Viction (VIC) will be removed from the platform on August 17, 2026.
The announcement follows Binance’s standard review process, which evaluates tokens against criteria including trading volume, development activity, network security, and regulatory compliance. Projects that fall below threshold across multiple criteria are flagged for delisting — a process the exchange conducts periodically and without appeal once finalized.
The Three Dates Every Holder Needs to Know
The delisting timeline runs across three distinct phases, each with different implications for what holders can still do with their assets.
August 7, 2026 at 12:00 PM UTC is the futures deadline. All futures contracts for ACX, HFT, PIVX, PYR, VANRY, and VIC will be forcibly closed by the system at this time. Anyone holding open leveraged positions in these tokens has until then to close them manually — the system will close any remaining positions automatically, and the settlement price will be determined by Binance’s procedures at that moment. Waiting for the system to close positions is almost always worse than managing the exit manually.
August 17, 2026 at 06:00 AM UTC is the spot trading deadline. All spot trading pairs for the six tokens are removed at this time. Open buy and sell orders that haven’t executed will be automatically cancelled. Deposit transactions will be suspended the following day on August 18 at the same time. After August 18, no new tokens can be deposited to Binance wallets for these six projects.
October 17, 2026 at 06:00 AM UTC is the withdrawal deadline. Users retain the ability to withdraw their holdings to external wallets until this date — giving holders nearly two months after the spot delisting to move assets off Binance if they want to continue holding them elsewhere. After October 17, withdrawals are permanently closed. Binance has noted that assets remaining on the platform after this date may be automatically converted to stablecoins if deemed appropriate — but this is not guaranteed, and the exchange explicitly advises against relying on this outcome.
What Holders Should Do Right Now
The practical sequence for anyone holding these tokens on Binance is straightforward: close any futures positions before August 7, decide whether to sell on Binance spot markets before August 17 or transfer to an external wallet or alternative exchange, and complete all transfers before October 17 if staying in these positions.
For holders who want to continue holding any of these tokens after the Binance delisting, moving assets to a self-custody wallet or finding an alternative supporting exchange before August 18 is the cleanest approach. Decentralized exchanges and smaller centralized platforms that support these tokens remain available as alternative venues — though liquidity on those venues will likely be thinner than what Binance currently provides, and the price impact of executing large positions on smaller order books should be factored into exit planning.
The delisting of a token from Binance doesn’t necessarily signal the end of the underlying project. Several tokens have continued operating and found liquidity on alternative venues after major exchange delistings. What it does mean, reliably, is a significant reduction in trading liquidity and investor visibility — two factors that tend to weigh on price regardless of what the underlying protocol is doing technically.
The projects behind ACX, HFT, PIVX, PYR, VANRY, and VIC have not issued coordinated responses at the time of writing. Holders should monitor official channels for each project to track any announcements about alternative exchange listings or token migration plans that may provide exit options beyond the Binance timeline.
