Binance's decision to remove four tokens from the platform on July 10, 2026, triggered a massive sell-off. On the day of the announcement alone, three of them hit all-time price lows, with losses in some cases exceeding 20% within hours.

The tokens affected are Alchemix (ALCX), Ardor (ARDR), NFPrompt (NFP), and Marlin (POND). The exchange cited results from an internal assessment, considering low liquidity, weak developer activity, and non-compliance with regulatory standards. All four assets are trading more than 98% below their all-time highs, making their continued support on the platform economically unfeasible.

The situation was most dramatic for NFPrompt and Marlin, which lost around 20% of their value at one point. Alchemix also saw a double-digit decline. Ardor, on the other hand, showed relative resilience, dropping only 6% — though this is explained by extremely low trading activity rather than real demand.

At the time of writing, ALCX is trading at $2.67, NFP at around $0.0054, and POND at approximately $0.0011. All four tokens have lost over 30% in the past month. Notably, NFPrompt, launched in December 2023 via Binance Launchpool, reached $1.17 on its first trading day but has lost nearly 99% of its value by the time of delisting.

Timeline and Consequences

Spot trading for ALCX, ARDR, NFP, and POND pairs will cease on July 10. Withdrawals will be available until September 9. Perpetual contracts for these assets were already closed on July 2. Holders should hurry to liquidate positions or transfer funds to external wallets.

Expert Comment: Delisting from Binance is essentially a death sentence for low-liquidity altcoins. After leaving the largest exchange, trading volumes drop to zero, and the price continues to hit new lows. Investors should learn from this: projects that cannot maintain activity and liquidity even at launch are doomed. The market is becoming increasingly demanding, and "dead souls" are being weeded out with alarming regularity.
