TREE NEWS reports: Binance has delisted 42 spot tokens and 28 USDT-margined perpetuals so far in 2026, more spot delistings than in any full year since 2022, with announcements arriving roughly every 28 days. Spot removals hit older listings — median age at delisting rose to 5.1 years from 4.1 in 2022 — while perpetual delistings hit newer ones, with median age falling to 0.8 years from 1.3. FDV and open interest, not trading volume, drove the decisions.

The divergence by listing age is the real signal: spot removals are clearing out legacy tokens, while perpetuals are being cut far earlier in their lifecycles, suggesting Binance is applying a different, faster standard to derivatives. Using FDV and open interest rather than volume as the trigger shifts the burden toward projects that can sustain valuation and leveraged positioning, not just trading activity. Whether this cadence persists — and whether other venues mirror the FDV-and-OI criteria — is the open question for listings teams and token issuers.
