Binance has announced that it will delist eight tokens on April 1, 2026, resulting in immediate double-digit losses on all affected assets.
The tokens set for deletion are Arena-Z (A2Z), Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH), Hooked Protocol (HOOK), IDEX (IDEX), Loopring ($LRC), Neutron (NTRN), Radiant Capital (RDNT), Solar (SXP).
Prices crater as traders rush for the exit
All eight tokens plummeted within minutes of the announcement. A2Z led the selling, falling 16.19%. IDEX fell 17.64%, FORTH fell 16.34%, and NTRN fell 15.19%.
Hook fell 14.16%; $LRC fell 12.18% and RDNT fell 10.95%. SXP recorded the smallest decline of 8.33%, but had already lost trading pairs on Binance since mid-2024.

This decline reflects a familiar pattern. Binance delisting typically causes rapid capital flight as liquidity becomes diluted and the order book collapses.
What users should know
The impact goes far beyond spot trading. Binance Futures will auto-settle all outstanding contracts for these tokens on March 24th. The suspension of margin borrowing will begin on March 19th, and full margin will be delisted on March 24th.
Simple Earn products will be removed after March 25th. Loans, payments, mining pool support, and copy trading services may all be phased out by the April 1 deadline.
Deposits will stop on April 2nd. Withdrawals will be possible until June 1st, after which Binance may force the remaining balance to be converted into stablecoins.
Binance cited weak development activity, low trading volumes, low liquidity, and governance concerns as the main factors. Some of these tokens have already received surveillance tags in recent weeks, indicating increased risk.
The RDNT carried additional baggage. Radiant Capital suffered a $50 million exploit in October 2024 when its multi-signature wallet system was compromised by an attacker. This protocol did not fully restore market confidence.

Binance is accelerating the pace of delisting in 2026. The move shows that projects that fail to maintain development momentum, security standards, and healthy liquidity face increased scrutiny from exchanges.
