Delisting
۱۴۰۵/۱/۲۷
Delisting is the removal of a cryptocurrency from an exchange's trading platform. Once delisted, the coin can no longer be bought or sold on that exchange. Users typically have a limited window to withdraw their funds before the exchange stops supporting deposits and withdrawals of the delisted coin.
Why coins get delisted
- Low trading volume — insufficient liquidity makes it uneconomical to maintain
- Regulatory concerns — the coin may be classified as a security in certain jurisdictions
- Project abandonment — the development team stopped working on the project
- Security issues — the network was hacked or compromised
- Non-compliance — the project failed to meet exchange listing requirements
Impact on price
Delisting announcements almost always cause a sharp price drop, because:
- Sell pressure spikes as holders rush to exit
- Liquidity drops as the trading pair disappears
- Perception of the coin's viability deteriorates
What to do if your coin is delisted
- Watch for the exchange's announcement — it usually specifies the last trading date and withdrawal deadline
- Withdraw your funds before the deadline
- Move coins to a self-custody wallet or another exchange that still supports the coin
Relevance to miners
Miners should monitor exchange listings for the coins they mine. If a coin gets delisted from major exchanges, selling mined output becomes much harder and profitability may collapse.
