Binance the world’s largest crypto exchange with 250 million users globally has announced the delisting of three digital assets—WazirX (WRX), Kaon (AKRO), and Bluzelle (BLZ). This move comes as part of Binance’s regular reviews to ensure listed tokens meet its high standards. However, the delisting has led to a sharp price drop of 20% to 40% for these coins.
Why Are These Tokens Being Delisted?
Binance cited various factors behind the delisting decision. The platform conducts regular reviews to ensure listed assets meet high standards, considering factors like development activity, trading volume, network stability, and regulatory compliance.
After a thorough evaluation, WRX, AKRO, and BLZ were found not to align with these criteria. This decision highlights Binance’s commitment to protecting users and maintaining a sustainable crypto ecosystem.
Key Dates to Keep in Mind
The delisting process begins with the removal of all trading pairs;
Trading Pairs Removal: Trading for WRX/USDT, AKRO/USDT, BLZ/BTC, and BLZ/USDT, will delist on December 25, 2024, at 03:00 (UTC).

For futures traders, Binance will settle and close all BLZUSDT contracts on December 23, 2024. Meanwhile, services like Binance Margin, Auto-Invest, and Gift Cards will gradually phase out support for these tokens in the coming weeks.
