Major crypto exchange Binance recently announced its decision to delist three crypto assets. In an official blog post, Binance stated that based on its most recent reviews, it has decided to delist and cease trading on all spot trading pairs for tokens: Kaon (AKRO), formerly known as Akropolis, Bluzelle (BLZ), and WazirX (WRX), on Dec. 25, 2024, at 3:00 a.m. (UTC).

The exact trading pairs being removed are: AKRO/USDT, BLZ/BTC, BLZ/USDT and WRX/USDT. In keeping with this, all trade orders in each trading pair will be immediately withdrawn once trading has ceased.

Binance explains the reason for the delistings to be that it periodically reviews each digital asset listed to ensure that it continues to fulfill high standards and industry criteria. When a token no longer fulfills these requirements or the industry landscape changes, it performs a more thorough evaluation and may delist, stating that its top priority continues to provide quality and secure services for its users while adapting to changing market dynamics.
