Why Binance Is Delisting These Six Tokens on August 17

Binance is removing six tokens from its spot market in a single sweep. Across Protocol (ACX), Hashflow (HFT), PIVX, Vulcan Forged (PYR), Vanar (VANRY) and Viction (VIC) all stop trading at 03:00 UTC on August 17, the latest casualties of the exchange’s periodic asset review. The August 3 notice announcing the cut leaned on one blanket explanation for all six, citing liquidity, development activity, tokenomics and regulatory factors without pinning a specific fault on any individual token. That wording papers over the fact that each one reached the chopping block for its own reason, and in several cases the projects had already set the outcome in motion themselves. Every token in this batch wore a Monitoring Tag before the axe fell, some since April, and the round is Binance’s fourth purge of 2026. It brings the year’s delisted count to 21. Across Protocol: a token its own team is winding down ACX carries the clearest cause of the six. Earlier this year the team proposed converting the Across DAO into a U.S. C-Corporation, and the plan involves shutting the ACX token down through an equity swap and a USDC buyout of holders. A token that its own creators have scheduled for retirement gives an exchange very little reason to keep the market open, which is why Coinbase suspended ACX trading in late July on the same logic. The timing made things worse. On July 17 an attacker exploited the protocol’s off-chain relay software on Solana, using forged deposit events to drain roughly $3.6 million from relayer reserves. User funds stayed intact and the team patched the flaw, but the incident exposed how much the bridge leans on off-chain infrastructure. #PeckShieldAlert The Across Protocol exploiter’s labeled address refunded 331.8 $ETH (~$623.9K) to the Across Protocol Hub Pool Owner Multisig.@AcrossProtocol was attacked on #Solana, resulting in ~$3.6M worth of cryptos being drained. pic.twitter.com/aVdWUlusYA — PeckShield July 28, 2026 ACX now changes hands near $0.04 after topping out at $1.74, a drop of roughly 98% from its all-time high, and its value on Binance’s books sits around $38 million, the largest market cap in the group.

Its request-for-quote engine routes trades through professional market makers and has cleared billions in volume with zero slippage, connecting platforms like 1inch and Jupiter to institutional pricing. The token is where it fell apart. HFT runs on heavy daily vesting that keeps expanding the circulating supply, and that steady dilution outran any real demand to hold it. Early backers and market makers unlocked and sold into a shrinking market, dragging the price to an all-time low around $0.007 on the day of the announcement, roughly 99.5% below its February 2023 peak.
