Binance will remove StaFi (FIS), REI Network (REI), and Voxies (VOXEL) from all trading pairs in the spot market on December 17, 2025, at 00:00 Brasília time, due to low liquidity and reduced trading volumes.
This decision highlights the growing pressure on underperforming altcoins in a challenging market. All three projects recorded less than $1 million in daily volume before the announcement.
Binance delisting announcement causes free fall for 3 altcoins
The exchange announced the withdrawal today (3), citing its regular asset review. Binance considers multiple factors for listings, including:
Commitment from the project team,
Development activity,
Trading volume and liquidity,
Network stability,
Transparency, regulatory concerns, and community sentiment.
FIS and REI both recorded volumes below $1 million in the 24-hour period, indicating a weak market presence. VOXEL, after an initial promise, steadily declined over six months, failing to meet Binance's standards. Therefore, the exchange marked them for delisting.
"Binance will delist FIS, REI, VOXEL on 17-12-2025," read a section of the announcement.
Binance introduced new policies in 2025, such as a 'Vote to Delist' feature to obtain community feedback and a 'Monitoring Zone' for projects with limited updates or little development activity. These measures aim to increase transparency and protect users.
The removal affects several services beyond spot trading, including Trading Bots, Spot Copy Trading, Simple Earn, mining pools, loans, and margin trading.
Deposits will not be credited after December 18, 2025. Withdrawals will be available until February 16, 2026. The announcement caused the three altcoins to plummet in anticipation of reduced liquidity.
"VOXEL was a really good token, but the performance over the last 6 months has been very weak. As expected, it is now delisted. FIS and REI were much worse, not even $1 million volume in 24 hours. They should have been delisted much earlier," commented a user.
The delisting reveals significant weaknesses in each project:
The StaFi Protocol, a decentralized liquidity staking solution built on Polkadot, failed to maintain trading interest despite its design.
The market data from the REI Network, on CoinMarketCap, showed a turnover rate of just 0.609, and a sell order of $50,000 could cause a price movement of 5%, highlighting the reduced liquidity.
Voxies, a gaming-focused token, performed well in early 2025 but fell throughout the year. The prolonged decline made continued listing unsustainable.
Altcoin sector faces broader challenges
These delistings occur while the altcoin market faces tough times. Data from CryptoQuant's Altcoin Season Panel shows that the percentage of altcoins listed on Binance and trading above their 200-day Simple Moving Average is at historic lows. This points to overall low performance.
The low liquidity has become a critical risk. Tokens that fail to maintain sufficient trading depth are increasingly vulnerable to delisting, as exchanges raise asset quality standards and focus on user protection.
Binance's action also signals its rigorous application of listing policies. The platform delisted FLM, KDA, and PERP in November 2025, highlighting its updated criteria. Projects that do not exhibit strong development, adequate trading volume, or security are under ongoing review.
Users with affected tokens must close positions and withdraw assets before February 16, 2026. Binance may convert any remaining balances into stablecoins after February 17, but this is not guaranteed.
Although the timeline for delisting allows time to exit, the reduced liquidity elsewhere may complicate sales.
