Four altcoins crashed in price after Binance's announcement: historical lows updated
The market has been shaken again: Binance has officially announced the delisting of four tokens, and the reaction was immediate. Starting July 10, 2026, trading pairs with Alchemix (ALCX), Ardor (ARDR), NFPrompt (NFP), and Marlin (POND) will be removed from the platform. This decision triggered an instant crash: three of the four assets updated their all-time lows on the same day.
The exchange's decision is the result of a routine review of liquidity, security, and the overall state of the projects. For Binance, these tokens have become too risky and illiquid: each is trading more than 98% below its all-time high and has shown sustained losses over the past year.
Scale of the Sell-Off: Who Was Hit Hardest
The biggest blow fell on small altcoins. NFPrompt and Marlin lost about 20% of their value in the first hours after the announcement. Alchemix followed suit, showing similar dynamics. Ardor, on the other hand, held out a bit longer, limiting its decline to approximately 6%. However, low trading activity left no chance of holding positions once the mass sell-off began.
At the time of analysis, the situation looks like this: Alchemix is valued at $2.67, NFPrompt at around $0.0054, and Marlin at approximately $0.0011. Over the past month, all four tokens have lost more than 30% of their value. Alchemix, NFPrompt, and Marlin have already updated their all-time lows, while Ardor has so far avoided a new record low.
Why is Binance Getting Rid of These Assets?
The exchange regularly cleans up its listings, evaluating trading volumes, liquidity, network security, team activity, and regulatory compliance. In this case, all four tokens met strict criteria. The example of NFPrompt is particularly telling. It was launched on Binance Launchpool in December 2023 and soared to $1.17 on its first day of trading. However, it then lost nearly 99% of its value — a classic example of a "pump and dump" at launch. Now, its delisting has become a logical conclusion.
This is not the first such case in 2026: Binance has previously removed four altcoins. Spot trading of ALCX, ARDR, NFP, and POND will cease on July 10, and withdrawals will be possible until September 9. Perpetual contracts for these assets on Binance Futures were closed on July 2.
My analysis: Delisting from Binance is not just a technical decision but a powerful signal to the market. For projects with low liquidity and a lack of real development, this is effectively a death sentence. Investors should closely monitor news and assess risks: if a token is trading 98% below its peak, its chances of recovery are minimal, and the likelihood of delisting is extremely high. The market is becoming more mature, and only strong projects will retain their place.
