Following the recent delisting announcement of five crypto tokens by Binance exchange, the other leading cryptocurrency exchanges are likely following the suit.

Binance Delisted Five Tokens – including SALT and WINGS

Coingape had recently reported that Binance cryptocurrency exchange set to delist and suspend the trading of five tokens including CLOAK, MOD, SALT, SUB and WINGS due to the failure of performing as per platform’s criteria. However, the announcement appeared on Binance website on Feb 15 and the delisting occurred on Feb 22, 2019, finally. In particular, the potential delisting by Binance is said to be- ‘team’s commitment towards the project, fraudulent conduct and unlike’.

Such token delisting decision of Binance might have struck a ‘fear point’ among the other exchanges – as such, a South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit have moved few tokens in a special category of assets that are likely be delisting from the exchange. Few of such affected exchange on Upbit are also including those that are recently delisted from Binance – Blocktix (TIX), SaluS (SLS), Salth (SALT) and the Wings (WINGS). To note, SALT and WINGS are the common tokens in Binance and Upbit that seems not performing as per the standards.

Upbit & Bittrex Likely Delist SALT and WINGS Token

Furthermore, the report also revealed that Upbit exchange would seek clarifications from other listed tokens and if found unsatisfactory – it would likely delist those as well. The potential reason for delisting as mentioned in Upbit’s official website is ‘an investigation by local financial authorities due to unfair distribution of tokens by SALT and WINGS platform’. Moreover, it is important to note that SALT is already delisted from several other exchanges while WINGS is waving in trouble.
