Four tokens have plummeted to all-time lows following Binance's delisting announcement.
The market once again demonstrates a harsh reality: Binance's announcement of the upcoming delisting of four tokens triggered an immediate crash, sending three of them to absolute price lows. The decision by the largest exchange, which will take effect on July 10, 2026, affected Alchemix (ALCX), Ardor (ARDR), NFPrompt (NFP), and Marlin (POND).
The market reaction was immediate and ruthless. The biggest blow hit small-cap tokens: NFPrompt and Marlin lost about 20% of their value in the first hours after the news was published. Alchemix followed with a similar drop. Ardor, by the way, held out a bit longer, falling "only" 6%, but that's just a matter of time and liquidity.
At the time of analysis, the situation looks catastrophic: ALCX is trading around $2.67, NFP around $0.0054, and POND around $0.0011. All four assets have lost over 30% in the last month, and for ALCX, NFP, and POND, this drop is an all-time low.
Why is Binance "cleaning house"?
Binance regularly reassesses its listings, considering trading volumes, liquidity, network security, and the project team's activity. In this case, all four tokens turned out to be "toxic" for the exchange: each is trading more than 98% below its all-time high, making them illiquid and risky for users.
The fate of NFPrompt deserves special attention. Binance launched it with a splash on the Launchpool platform in December 2023. On the first day of trading, NFP soared to $1.17, but then lost nearly 99% of its value. The delisting became the logical finale of this drama.
Spot trading for the ALCX, ARDR, NFP, and POND pairs will cease on July 10. Funds can be withdrawn until September 9. Earlier, on July 2, Binance Futures already closed perpetual contracts related to these assets. Holders have time, but the market has already delivered its verdict.
My professional opinion: Delisting from Binance is not just a loss of listing, but practically a death sentence for low-liquidity projects. We see how the "Binance effect" works both ways: a listing can create a rocket, while a delisting can knock an asset out. Investors should take this as a signal: if your portfolio consists of tokens trading 90%+ below their peak with negligible volumes, it's time to consider diversification. This is not volatility—it's the natural end of a project's life cycle.
