Binance Drops Four Tokens: ALCX, ARDR, NFP, and POND Face Removal Effective July 10
Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has officially confirmed that four digital assets will be removed from its platform following a routine review process. The tokens facing delisting are Alchemix (ALCX), Ardor (ARDR), NFPrompt Token (NFP), and Marlin (POND), with the process kicking off across multiple services in the coming days.
According to the official announcement, all spot trading pairs for the four tokens will be terminated on July 10 at 03:00 UTC. This marks the end of active trading availability for these assets on Binance's core spot market, signaling a significant shift for communities and investors holding any of these cryptocurrencies.
The removal timeline extends well beyond the initial trading halt. Users who hold ALCX, ARDR, NFP, or POND should be aware that deposit crediting will stop after July 11 at 03:00 UTC. Furthermore, withdrawal functionality for these assets will remain active only until September 9 at 03:00 UTC, giving holders a window of roughly two months to move their funds off the platform. After September 10 at 03:00 UTC, any remaining balances in these tokens may be automatically converted into stablecoins on the user's behalf.
Binance's Futures segment is also part of the cleanup operation. All open positions related to the four tokens will be forcibly closed, and automatic contract settlement will be carried out on July 2 at 09:00 UTC. Leading up to that point, users will be prohibited from opening any new positions starting July 2 at 08:30 UTC — just 30 minutes before the settlement deadline.
Other Binance products and services are following their own specific timelines as part of the phased removal. The Buy & Sell Crypto feature will delist all affected tokens and trading pairs on June 29 at 03:00 UTC. Binance Simple Earn will remove the tokens after July 3 at 07:00 UTC, while Binance Dual Investment will block new subscriptions starting the following Friday at 08:00 UTC.
Additionally, Binance Convert will discontinue support for the tokens and their associated pairs on July 10 at 02:00 UTC — one hour before the spot market shutdown. Binance Pay will remove the tokens from its supported assets on July 2 at 03:00 UTC, and Binance Pool will end mining support for these cryptocurrencies on the same date and time.
This delisting wave is part of Binance's ongoing platform optimization strategy, through which the exchange periodically removes tokens that no longer meet its listing standards. The exchange has not disclosed the exact criteria that led to the removal of these four specific assets in this round, describing the action only as the result of its most recent review.
Holders of ALCX, ARDR, NFP, and POND are strongly advised to review all relevant deadlines and take appropriate action before the respective cutoff dates to avoid any disruption to their funds or potential forced conversion to stablecoins.
