Binance flagged three tokens — Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK) and Stacks (STX) — as potential delisting risks after completing its latest project reviews, placing them on the exchange’s Monitoring Tag list effective July 24, 2026. The move subjects the assets to heightened scrutiny for volatility, liquidity, development activity and other operational risks, but does not halt spot trading or related services.
What the Monitoring Tag means
- A Monitoring Tag signals higher risk and volatility compared with other listed assets. It is not an immediate delisting, but a warning that a project “is at risk of no longer meeting our listing criteria and being delisted” if follow-up reviews find ongoing concerns.
- Binance says it will reassess tagged projects at regular intervals and can either remove the tag if conditions improve or proceed toward delisting after further checks.
What Binance looks at in reviews
Binance’s assessments cover a broad set of criteria, including:
- team commitment and development quality
- trading volume and liquidity
- network security and smart contract stability
- public communications and responsiveness to due diligence
- changes to token supply or tokenomics
- evidence of fraud, negligence or conduct that could hurt market integrity
No project-specific reasons were provided for tagging ACX, LSK and STX, and Binance confirmed that other services tied to the tokens remain available. The new labels were scheduled to appear shortly after the notice; the exchange did not provide a timetable for the next review or for any potential delisting decision.
Market reaction
Prices showed mixed moves after the announcement. At the time of writing:
- STX traded near $0.150, down about 10.4% over 24 hours
- ACX was around $0.041, off roughly 2.6%
- LSK was near $0.085 as traders absorbed the news
Markets may continue to shift as trading activity develops.
Project context
- ACX: Listed on Binance in December 2024 with a Seed Tag, ACX jumped about 147% on that listing. More recently, Across Protocol approved a restructuring plan offering holders the option to swap ACX for equity in a new U.S. company or accept a USDC buyout. Binance did not state whether that restructuring influenced its decision to apply the Monitoring Tag.
- LSK: The Lisk project has restructured in recent years, transitioning from its original layer-1 design to the Optimism Superchain. Its community has debated token-supply moves, including a proposal to burn 100 million LSK (about 25% of planned supply) or allocate those tokens to a long-term DAO fund.
- STX: Stacks focuses on Bitcoin-based smart contracts, using STX for fees, contract execution and miner rewards. Institutional access to the Stacks ecosystem expanded in 2025 when custodian Hex Trust added support for STX and sBTC.
Bottom line
The Monitoring Tag makes Binance’s subsequent reviews the key test for these projects’ continued listing. While trading and related services remain active for ACX, LSK and STX, holders and traders should watch upcoming updates from Binance and on-chain developments for signals about whether the tokens can clear the exchange’s compliance bar or face further delisting steps.
