One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance, has announced a significant delisting decision for its spot markets. According to the official statement, all spot trading pairs for the ACA, CHESS, DATA, DF, GHST, and NKN tokens will be removed as of February 13, 2026, at 03:00. This decision was made as part of Binance’s regular listing review process and is a critical development for investors trading these tokens.
Reason for Binance’s Delisting Decision
Binance states that its delisting decisions are based on a comprehensive and regular evaluation process, in which both technical and market performance of projects are thoroughly assessed. Evaluation criteria include, in particular:
- The project team’s development activity and adherence to its roadmap
- Trading volume, liquidity, market depth, and sustainability
- Community and ecosystem sustainability, user interest, and developer contributions
- Security and compliance standards, potential risks, and regulatory alignment
Following the latest review, it was determined that these tokens did not consistently meet Binance’s listing standards, leading to the delisting decision.
Tokens to Be Delisted
According to Binance, the tokens to be removed from spot trading are:
- ACA
- CHESS
- DATA
- DF
- GHST
- NKN
All spot trading pairs for these tokens will be suspended after the specified date.
Critical Dates for Investors
Binance emphasized that users should close any open positions and withdraw their assets to wallets before the delisting date to avoid potential losses. After delisting, these assets will no longer be tradable on the spot market, and liquidity may drop significantly. Experts note that delisting announcements often trigger short-term sharp price movements in the affected tokens, so investors should exercise caution.
Binance’s decision to remove ACA, CHESS, DATA, DF, GHST, and NKN from spot trading highlights once again the importance of liquidity and trust in the markets. Such delisting actions underline that investors should focus not only on listing news but also on the long-term sustainability of projects.
