Binance Adds ACX, LSK and STX to Monitoring Tag List, Citing Possible Delisting Risk
Key Takeaways
- •Binance placed ACX, LSK, and STX under its Monitoring Tag on July 24, 2026, triggering periodic reviews of each token's listing status.
- •Spot trading and all related services for the three tokens continue to operate normally despite the new designation.
- •Tokens carrying the Monitoring Tag face potential delisting if subsequent assessments reveal they no longer meet Binance's listing criteria.
- •Market prices declined after the announcement, with STX dropping roughly 10.4% and ACX falling 2.6% over a 24-hour period.
- •Binance did not disclose any project-specific reasons for adding ACX, LSK, and STX to the Monitoring Tag list.

Binance has added Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK) and Stacks (STX) to its Monitoring Tag list after completing its latest round of project reviews.
The designation means ACX, LSK and STX will face regular listing assessments by the exchange. Binance said it will review factors including liquidity, development activity, security, public communication and token supply before making any future change to each token’s status. The Monitoring Tag is separate from Binance’s Seed Tag, which the exchange applies to newer or lower-liquidity assets to signal elevated risk and requires users to complete risk acknowledgements before trading.
The update took effect on July 24, 2026, placing the three assets under closer review for volatility, liquidity, development progress and operational risk. Binance said the move does not suspend spot trading or other related services for the tokens.

According to Binance, assets carrying the Monitoring Tag may have higher volatility and risk than other listed tokens. The label does not mean Binance has already decided to remove ACX, LSK or STX. However, the company said the tokens are “at risk of no longer meeting our listing criteria and being delisted” if subsequent reviews identify ongoing concerns. Binance has previously moved tokens from monitoring to full delisting, most notably in batch delistings that removed multiple spot trading pairs at once, though the exchange has also removed monitoring tags from assets that demonstrated improvement.
Binance broadens its risk review list
Binance reviews projects with the Monitoring Tag at regular intervals. Its assessments examine team commitment, development quality, trading volume, liquidity, network security and smart contract stability. The exchange also reviews public communication, responses to due diligence requests, and any major changes to token supply or tokenomics.
The review process can also consider evidence of fraud, negligence or conduct that may negatively affect the broader market. Binance did not provide a project-specific reason for adding ACX, LSK and STX to the Monitoring Tag list. Periodic listing reviews have become standard practice among major centralized exchanges, with Binance and several peers conducting quarterly or irregular assessments of listed assets to maintain compliance and transparency standards.
The exchange said services connected to ACX, LSK and STX would remain available, while the new labels would appear shortly after the notice. Binance may later remove the Monitoring Tag from a token or move toward delisting after further checks. The company said the process is intended to ensure listed assets continue to meet its current compliance standards.
ACX, LSK and STX trade lower after announcement
Market data showed differing reactions among the three assets after the announcement. At the time of writing, Binance listed STX near $0.150, down about 10.4% over 24 hours. ACX traded near $0.041 after declining 2.6%. Separate market data placed LSK near $0.085 as traders assessed the update. Prices may continue to change as trading activity develops.
ACX was listed on Binance in December 2024 with a Seed Tag and rose about 147% after the listing announcement. More recently, Across Protocol approved a plan that gives holders the option to exchange ACX for equity in a new U.S. company or accept a USDC buyout. Binance did not say whether that restructuring had any role in its Monitoring Tag decision.
Projects continue separate development efforts
Lisk has also changed its network structure in recent years. The project shifted from its original layer-1 model to the Optimism Superchain. As crypto.news reported, its community later considered whether to burn 100 million LSK, equal to 25% of the planned supply, or place the tokens in a long-term DAO fund.
Stacks continues to build Bitcoin-based smart contract products. The network uses STX for fees, smart contract execution and miner rewards. In 2025, digital asset custodian Hex Trust added support for STX and sBTC, expanding institutional access to the Stacks ecosystem.
The Monitoring Tag makes Binance’s future reviews the main listing test for all three tokens. A project can later have the tag removed if the exchange determines that conditions have improved. It can also face delisting if Binance decides it no longer meets the platform’s standards.
Trading remains available for ACX, LSK and STX, and Binance said other services will not be affected. The exchange plans to update the Monitoring Tag labels after publication. It did not provide a date for the next review or a timetable for any delisting decision.
