Binance is removing ICON (ICX), Secret (SCRT) and Storj (STORJ) from spot trading, with all pairs closing on September 3 at 03:00 UTC and withdrawals open until September 17. The three tokens were hit hard on the news.

Binance says the move follows its periodic review of listed assets, which weighs trading volume and liquidity, the team's commitment and development activity, network stability and security, and how projects respond to due-diligence requests. Assets that no longer clear the bar get cut to protect users.

Spot pairs and trading bots for the three tokens stop at the deadline. Holders should move balances to self-custody or another venue before September 17, after which access to these assets on Binance ends. A Binance delisting usually drains an asset's deepest liquidity, so exits get harder once the pairs close.

For ICX, SCRT and STORJ, losing the largest exchange's order books is a heavy blow to liquidity and visibility, the kind of exit that often marks a long tail for older, low-volume projects.
