Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced the delisting of four tokens: BOND, DOCK, MDX, and POLS, effective July 22, 2024. This decision follows a comprehensive review of the digital assets listed on the platform to ensure they meet Binance's high standards and industry requirements.
Criteria for Delisting
According to Binance, several factors influence the decision to delist a digital asset. These include the commitment of the project team, the level and quality of development activity, trading volume and liquidity, network stability, and responsiveness to due diligence requests. Other considerations include evidence of unethical conduct, compliance with new regulatory requirements, and the asset's contribution to a healthy and sustainable crypto ecosystem.
Details of the Delisting
Effective July 22, 2024, at 03:00 (UTC), Binance will cease trading on all spot trading pairs for BOND, DOCK, MDX, and POLS. The specific trading pairs being removed are BOND/BTC, BOND/USDT, DOCK/BTC, DOCK/USDT, MDX/USDT, and POLS/USDT.
Following the delisting, all trade orders will be automatically removed, and the tokens' valuations will no longer be displayed in users' wallets. Users are advised to ensure that they have not selected “Hide Small Balances” in their wallets to view their assets post-delisting. Deposits of these tokens after July 23, 2024, will not be credited, and withdrawals will not be supported after October 22, 2024.
