Updated September 18, 2025. If you woke up to a token missing from your Binance watchlist this year, you’re not alone. 2025 has been an active year for delistings as Binance formalized a community-driven “Vote to Delist” process, expanded Monitoring Tags, and removed projects that no longer meet its standards. Below is a living tracker of Binance delisted coins in 2025, why they were removed, key dates to remember, and a simple checklist to protect your funds.
Quick note on scope: this guide focuses on full token delistings (where all spot pairs are removed). Binance also removes individual spot pairs from time to time; that is not the same as a token delisting. citeturn11view0
2025 Binance delisted coins at a glance
- February 24, 2025 — AirDAO (AMB), CLV (CLV), StormX (STMX), VITE (VITE) fully delisted on Binance Spot. citeturn6search0turn6search1

These decisions were framed around standardized criteria Binance has long shared publicly (team commitment, development activity, liquidity, security, communications transparency, due‑diligence responsiveness, regulatory changes, tokenomics shifts, ownership changes, and community sentiment). citeturn17search3
What changed in 2025: Vote to Delist and more frequent reviews
- Vote to Delist: In March 2025 Binance introduced a community co‑governance feature that lets verified users vote on projects carrying a Monitoring Tag that they believe should be removed. Binance emphasized votes are considered but are not the sole determinant of any final delisting. citeturn1search0
- After the trial and the first round of voting, Binance published the first batch of results and delisted 14 tokens on April 16, 2025, following its standard review process. citeturn3view0
- A second round of Vote to Delist opened on April 10, 2025, reiterating the same rules, BNB balance snapshotting, and the “not the sole deciding factor” caveat. citeturn2search0
Monitoring Tag and how it relates to delisting
Monitoring Tags flag higher‑risk tokens on Binance. If a token stagnates on development, suffers liquidity collapse, or fails periodic reviews, it can progress from Monitoring Tag to delisting. Binance’s Academy article lays out the tag, the 90‑day risk quiz, and the evaluation criteria users should watch. citeturn17search1
Pro tip: Monitor the Support Center’s Delisting page and each token’s market page for Monitoring Tags to stay ahead of changes. citeturn8search5
The fine print that affects your funds
A Binance delisting rarely ends with “spot trading ceased.” Announcements specify product‑by‑product wind‑downs and deadlines:
- Spot: All spot pairs for the token are removed; open orders are cancelled automatically. citeturn6search3
- Margin, Copy Trading, Trading Bots, Convert, Gift Card, Pay, Simple Earn, Loans: Each service publishes cut‑off times. For example, April’s delisting batch detailed margin closures, bots termination, deposit/withdrawal stops, and even possible post‑delisting conversions to stablecoins. citeturn3view0
- Withdrawals: There’s usually a grace period to withdraw delisted tokens before withdrawals permanently stop (e.g., April batch set withdrawal end on 2025‑06‑16 03:00 UTC). citeturn3view0
- Futures: Some delistings do not affect futures contracts, or futures may delist on separate schedules. September’s BAKE, HIFI, SLF notice explicitly noted that futures trading on those contracts was not affected at publication time. citeturn10view0
Always read the exact announcement for your token to avoid surprises—deadlines and product coverage can differ by asset and region. citeturn6search3
Why Binance delists tokens
Binance’s published delisting guidelines and this year’s notices echo consistent themes:
- Team and code: Low development activity, unresolved security incidents, or stalled roadmaps are red flags.
- Market quality: Thin liquidity and low volumes reduce user protection and execution quality.
- Governance and transparency: Poor or misleading communications, unresponsiveness to diligence, or changes to tokenomics/ownership without clarity can trigger reviews.
- Compliance: New regulatory requirements can force action even when a project is otherwise active.
These factors appear verbatim across official notices and the Exchange’s formal “Delisting Guidelines & FAQ.” citeturn17search3

Spot pair removals vs token delistings
Binance often removes selected spot pairs to improve market quality when a pair’s liquidity or volume are persistently low. Those pair removals do not mean a token is gone—you can typically still trade it against other quotes (e.g., USDT). Example: a September 5 notice removed several specific pairs while leaving the underlying tokens tradable via other pairs. citeturn11view0
What to do if your coin is being delisted
Use this fast, practical checklist:
1) Read the announcement twice. Note the UTC time for spot shutdown, deposit/withdrawal stops, and any product‑specific deadlines (Margin, Earn, Bots, Pay, Copy Trading). citeturn3view0turn10view0
2) Close positions and cancel bots early. Don’t wait until the last minute; systems may auto‑settle or cancel for you at the cutoff. citeturn3view0
3) Decide to withdraw or convert. If withdrawals are supported for a period, move tokens to a self‑custody wallet you control. If conversion to stablecoins is announced as a possibility, weigh execution certainty vs. timing. citeturn3view0
4) Check futures and margin separately. These can follow different schedules or be unaffected entirely, as seen in the September BAKE/HIFI/SLF case. citeturn10view0
5) Track Monitoring Tags proactively. If your token is tagged, understand the risks and pass the quiz to continue trading, but be prepared for rapid changes. citeturn17search1
How to reduce delisting risk in your portfolio
- Prefer assets with strong, transparent development and healthy on‑exchange liquidity.
- Diversify quote exposure. If you rely on an illiquid pair, be ready to switch to a deeper market.
- Subscribe to Binance’s Support Center “Delisting” category and enable mobile/app alerts.
- For Monitoring Tag names, use tighter risk limits and stop losses; the quiz is a warning, not a formality. citeturn17search1
FAQ
- Is voting enough to delist a token? No. Community votes inform Binance but the exchange runs its own review and can override or confirm outcomes. citeturn1search0
- Can a token with a Monitoring Tag recover? Yes. Tags can be removed after reviews; conversely, tags can lead to delistings if criteria aren’t met. citeturn17search1
- Are withdrawal deadlines the same for all coins? No. Each announcement sets its own deposit/withdrawal cutoff and, sometimes, a potential stablecoin conversion window. Always check the exact post. citeturn3view0
