Binance Delists ICX, SCRT and STORJ: From August 21, One Door Closes After Another

Binance is removing ICON (ICX), Secret (SCRT) and Storj (STORJ) from spot trading entirely on September 3, 2026 at 03:00 UTC. Anyone holding one of these three tokens on the exchange has to decide beforehand: sell while a market still exists, or withdraw to a wallet of their own. The first stage of the wind-down takes effect as early as August 21, which is to say immediately. A delisting means that an exchange closes a trading pair permanently and no longer lets you buy or sell the token afterwards. Your balance does not disappear as a result, but the routes for turning it into money or moving it away are closed one after another. That is exactly what makes this case practical for holders: it is not a question of a price view, but of dates on which something happens to your holding without any action from you. What happens to ICX, SCRT and STORJ on Binance on September 3, 2026 At 03:00 UTC on September 3, 2026, according to the specialist service The Cryptonomist, Binance removes all spot trading pairs for the three tokens. Open orders are cancelled automatically in the process, and the trading bot services for these pairs end at the same moment. Spot trading means the direct purchase and sale of a coin against another currency, without credit and without leverage; for most retail investors it is the only way to trade a token at all. For you as a holder, that means there will be no price on Binance after that point at which you can sell ICX, SCRT or STORJ. The balance remains visible in the account, but it is only parked there. Anyone who wants to sell has to do so beforehand or move the token to another platform that still trades it. The announcement dates from August 20, 2026 and was picked up by several specialist outlets the same day. In Storj's official community forum, too, a user posted the key dates on August 20 at 7:17 am, with the same two moments: trading halt on September 3, deposit halt on September 4, each at 03:00. Why Binance is dropping ICX, SCRT and STORJ from spot trading The exchange justifies the step with its most recent periodic review of listed assets. U.Today renders Binance's wording to the effect that the assets concerned were monitored and classified as highly volatile and risky, and no longer met the exchange's listing standards. Binance gives no more detailed reasoning for each individual token. That is not a statement about the technical quality of the three projects, and you should not read it as one. In such cycles an exchange examines trading volume, liquidity, development activity and regulatory position, among other things.
