Shocking the crypto markets, Binance has removed 23 tokens from its Binance Alpha platform in a sweeping overnight event. The exchange stated, through an official announcement, that the delisted crypto did not meet its standards for innovation and transparency, though it did not specify individual violations for each project. The move demonstrates Binance’s commitment to “user protection” and its regular review mechanism that aims to keep only qualified tokens on its platform.
What projects are exiting the platform
Some examples include Gaming tokens (XO, RCADE, SKATE), decentralized finance (DeFi) Protocols (e.g., Overlay Protocol, SatLayer), and memecoins (e.g., Ghiblification and BUBB). All these tokens are leaving the Binance Alpha platform on 2026-04-30 09:30 (UTC).
Complete 23 delisted crypto
The 23 delisted crypto assets include: REX (Revox), XO (Xociety Token), TANSSI (TANSSI Network), DARKSTAR (DarkStar), YALA (Yala), RCADE (RCADE Network), RDAC (Redacted), SKATE (Skate Chain), OVL (Overlay Protocol), SLAY (SatLayer), Ghibli (Ghiblification), Ghibli (GhibliCZ), PHY (DePHY Network), VLR (Velora), SVSA (SavannaSurvival), WBAI (Whitebridge Network), EDGEN (LayerEdge), FAIR3 (Fair and Free), MM (MOMOFUN), BUBB (Bubb), AICELL (AICell), XLAB (Dexlab), and SIGHT (Empire of Sight).
Although the delisted crypto, Binance Wallet stated that “Selling or withdrawing of these tokens on Binance Alpha will still be allowed after the removal.” Follow the next steps to do so:
- In the Binance Wallet: Go to the [Market] tab > Search > Trade
- In the Binance Alpha platform: Go to the [Asset] tab > [Alpha] > Select the token > Instant > Sell
- Also on Binance Alpha: Go to the [Asset] tab > [Alpha] > Withdraw > Select the token
Deeper context
So far, the exchange emphasized that delisted crypto assets on Binance Alpha “may pose a higher than normal risk” and are subject to “significant price volatility.” Therefore, users are encouraged to employ appropriate due diligence and have suitable risk management processes while transacting with cryptocurrencies that are not typically supported by traditional financial assets.
The removal of the above 23 delisted crypto from Binance Alpha appears to follow a trend being exhibited by all major exchanges towards stricter “Listing Requirements” due to increased regulatory pressure within the crypto market and the increasing number of scams targeting retail investors.
