Binance Delisting September 2026: ICX, SCRT, STORJ

Binance is removing three tokens, ICX, SCRT and STORJ, from spot trading at 03:00 UTC on Thursday, September 3, 2026. That is the binance delisting september 2026 event driving most of the confusion this week, and it is getting mixed up with a separate, unrelated move: Binance is also pruning 12 thin isolated-margin pairs at 06:00 UTC the same day, including SUI/BTC, AVAX/BTC and LINK/BTC. Those are two different actions with two different sets of consequences, and conflating them is the easiest way to make a bad decision with your holdings.

The ICX, SCRT and STORJ removal is the real one. Each token is losing its spot market entirely, its order book will close, and any open orders get cancelled. The margin pruning, by contrast, only touches a handful of BTC- and ETH-quoted isolated margin pairs that see almost no volume. If you simply hold SUI, AVAX or LINK, or trade them on regular spot markets, nothing changes for you on September 3. Only traders with open positions specifically in those isolated margin pairs need to act, and only before the 06:00 UTC cutoff.

Unlike routine liquidity-based delistings, each of these three has its own real, project-level reason for going. ICON, the network behind ICX, is winding down as part of a migration into a new token called SODA, with the legacy chain's sunset targeted for December 31, 2026 — Binance is delisting ahead of that shutdown rather than in response to it. Storj Labs, the company behind STORJ's decentralized cloud storage network, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 2026. Coinbase is pulling back too, but on a slower, separate timeline: STORJ has traded limit-orders-only there since late August, with a full halt set for September 28 — after Binance's move, not before it, and framed as a routine listing review rather than a bankruptcy response. Secret Network's SCRT has a messier story: a bridge exploit in June 2026 drained roughly $4.67 million, and the project has an unresolved internal debate over migrating to Arbitrum that has left its roadmap uncertain.

None of these are healthy tokens with an exchange simply trimming its listings for tidiness. All three are in genuine distress, and Binance pulling support is as much a symptom as a cause. Trading volume tells the same story for two of the three: STORJ trades around $9-10 million a day and SCRT around $5.7 million, thin enough that Binance was likely the deepest liquidity venue for both, and losing it will make each harder to trade anywhere. ICX is the exception this week — delisting and SODA-migration speculation have pushed its volume into the millions, well above its normal run rate, so it's a formerly thin market getting a temporary, event-driven spike rather than one quietly draining away.

This is the question that actually matters, and the timeline is specific. Spot trading pairs for all three tokens close at 03:00 UTC on September 3 — after that, you cannot sell ICX, SCRT or STORJ on Binance at all. Deposits stop being credited the next day, at 03:00 UTC on September 4, so don't send more of these tokens to Binance after that point. The real deadline to circle is November 3, 03:00 UTC: that's when Binance stops allowing withdrawals of the three tokens altogether.

If you want to keep holding, withdraw to a self-custody wallet or another exchange before that November 3 cutoff. If you'd rather exit, selling before the September 3 spot close is the straightforward option. What you should avoid is doing nothing. Binance has said that balances still sitting on the exchange after November 4, 03:00 UTC, may be converted automatically into a stablecoin at Binance's discretion — the wording is "may," not "will," so it isn't guaranteed, but there's no reason to leave that decision in Binance's hands rather than your own.

No, and this is the mix-up worth clearing up directly. What's closing on September 3 is 12 isolated-margin trading pairs, three of which happen to involve SUI, AVAX and LINK quoted against BTC, alongside nine smaller, less-followed pairs. Isolated margin is a leveraged trading mode where each position is walled off with its own collateral — it is a small, specialized corner of Binance's product lineup, not the main spot market where most people actually buy and hold these tokens.

Regular spot trading in SUI, AVAX and LINK is untouched. If you hold any of the three on Binance, or trade them without margin, there is nothing to do here. The only people who need to act are traders with open positions in those specific BTC-quoted isolated margin pairs, and their deadline is 06:00 UTC on September 3 — three hours after the ICX/SCRT/STORJ spot closure, and easy to conflate with it if you're skimming headlines.

Even for holders who exit cleanly by November 3, the longer-term risk is what happens to ICX, SCRT and STORJ once Binance's liquidity is gone. Thin order books get thinner fast once a major exchange withdraws support, and each of these tokens was already leaning on Binance as a primary venue. As of this week, ICX trades in the $0.013-$0.017 range and is swinging sharply day to day, as SODA-migration speculation and Binance's own Monitoring Tag pressure pull it in opposite directions — pull a live quote before trading on any single day's move. SCRT sits near $0.009 after a rough month, down around 45-47% over seven days and roughly 70% over 30 days, with no comparable bounce. STORJ, around $0.034-0.038 depending on venue, is down roughly 28% over 30 days, tracking its bankruptcy news lower.

None of the three is likely to reverse that trend purely because of the delisting itself; the delisting is a consequence of existing weakness, not a new shock on its own. The more useful lens is the underlying story in each case: watch whether ICON's SODA migration actually delivers a working exit path for ICX holders, whether Storj Labs' bankruptcy process yields any asset sale that preserves value for STORJ, and whether Secret Network resolves its Arbitrum migration debate. Those outcomes, not the Binance listing status, will decide whether any of these tokens have a future worth holding toward.
