Binance to Delist ACT, PENGU, and More: Traders, Prepare to Panic! 😱

Ah, Binance, always keeping us on our toes! It seems the crypto exchange has decided to show the door to a few trading pairs, leaving us all in a delightful state of mild confusion and a dash of existential dread. As of April 11, spot trading pairs like ACT/BRL, ALPHA/BTC, BLUR/BTC, and others will be unceremoniously delisted. Because, why not? It’s not like anyone was asking for a heads-up, right?

The delisting will commence at 03:00 UTC on April 11. And guess what? Those poor little tokens tied to Bitcoin (BTC) and Binance Coin (BNB) will no longer be welcomed in the Binance trading zoo. You’ll have to bid farewell to ACT/BRL, ALPHA/BTC, BLUR/BTC, CELR/BTC, PENGU/BNB, POND/BTC, and RUNE/BNB. A moment of silence for these brave tokens, please. 🙏

But wait, there’s more! As if delisting wasn’t enough of a treat, Binance is also pulling the plug on spot trading bot services for these pairs. Because bots deserve a little time off, too. So, traders, you’d better go update or cancel your bots before the 11th, or face the possibility of catastrophic losses. Because who doesn’t love a little drama before breakfast?

Now, here’s where the plot thickens: despite the announcement, some of the delisted tokens had the audacity to rise in value. PENGU (PENGU), the Pudgy Penguin’s token, didn’t even bother to move. Classic. Meanwhile, ACT (AI Prophecy) decided to ignore its own funeral and grew by 1.1%. Because, of course, why would anything make sense in the crypto world? 😅

As for RUNE, it showed a bit more enthusiasm with a 1.3% increase. CELR and BLUR were content with modest rises of 0.2% and 0.1%. The only true rebel in this tale? POND, which dropped 0.7%. Someone had to take the fall, right?

Now, the reason behind this delightful purge of tokens is… well, it’s not entirely clear. Binance has offered a vague excuse about “poor liquidity and trading volume,” discovered during one of their periodic reviews. Sure, Binance, sure. We’re all about that transparency. 🙄

In case you missed it, this announcement comes hot on the heels of ACT’s little drama—remember when its price tanked by nearly 50% in 30 minutes on April 1? And let’s not forget, other altcoins suffered drops between 20% and 50% from April 1 to April 3. Because, naturally, the crypto world just loves to keep things unpredictable and chaotic.
