As an experienced financial analyst, I have witnessed numerous market events that significantly impacted various digital assets. Binance’s recent announcement to delist BarnBridge (BOND), Dock (DOCK), Mdex (MDX), and Polkastarter (POLS) from its platform is a clear indication of the exchange’s commitment to maintaining a high standard for investor protection and market integrity.


TL;DR

  • Binance will delist four cryptocurrencies on July 22, causing their prices to drop significantly.
  • Deposits and withdrawals of these assets will cease on July 23 and October 22, respectively.

No More Support for These Cryptocurrencies

Binance, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange, consistently improves its offerings to boost user experience. This includes introducing new trading pairs in reaction to market fluctuations and eliminating digital assets based on factors such as low trading volume, lack of communication, network instability from attacks, among others.

It recently announced the delisting of BarnBridge (BOND), Dock (DOCK), Mdex (MDX), and Polkastarter (POLS). Support for all spot trading pairs involving the aforementioned will be terminated from July 22. 

As a crypto investor, I’d receive this notification as:

Starting from July 23, Binance will no longer accept deposits for the mentioned assets. On the other hand, withdrawals will be suspended as of October 22.

As an analyst, I would rephrase that statement as follows: The trading pairs affected by this change will no longer be accessible for lending, auto-investment, margin trading, conversion, buying and selling crypto, payments, or use with trading bots on Binance.

The revelation caused significant declines in the value of all cryptocurrencies implicated in the upcoming project. Among them, DOCK experienced the most severe drop, losing approximately half of its worth within a day.

These Altcoins Plummet Following Delistings from Binance

As an analyst, I would explain that taking a specific digital asset off a prominent exchange such as Binance could result in a significant price drop for several reasons. The primary reason is the reduction in liquidity, making it more difficult for buyers and sellers to transact, thereby affecting the asset’s value. Additionally, removing an asset from a major platform may negatively impact its reputation and investor confidence due to potential concerns over regulatory compliance or market manipulation. Overall, these factors can lead to various setbacks that contribute to a decline in the asset’s price.

As an analyst, I’ve observed that a similar event unfolded earlier this year. The exchange decided to delist Monero (XMR), and the aftermath resulted in a significant drop of approximately 35% in the privacy coin’s price.

Binance’s Previous Update

Approximately a week ago, the trading platform suspended support for the following six coin pairs: BTC/AEUR, ETH/AEUR, AI/TUSD, CHR/BNB, GAS/FDUSD, and LQTY/FDUSD. The values of these coins dropped dramatically, aligning with the overall market downturn during that period.

The firm added WIF/BRL, ZK/USDC, and ZRO/USDC trading pairs to Binance Spot. However, it’s important to note that this feature isn’t accessible to every user.

As an analyst, I would rephrase it as follows: I’m unable to facilitate trades for users based in the following countries or regions: Canada, Cuba, Crimea Region, Iran, Netherlands, North Korea, Syria, the United States of America, and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands), and any non-government controlled areas of Ukraine.
