On October 29, 2025, Binance announced that it will delist KDA (alongside Flamingo (FLM) and Perpetual Protocol (PERP)) from its spot markets effective November 12, 2025 at 03:00 UTC.
Meanwhile, for the US-platform Binance.US, the delisting of KDA is set for October 28, 2025, with deposits closing at 7 p.m. PDT / 10 p.m. EDT.
Kadena (KDA) cryptocurrency.
Asset: Kadena (KDA), a layer-1 cryptocurrency/blockchain project.
News: On or around October 21-22, 2025, the Kadena organization announced its immediate shutdown of business operations and maintenance.
Market Reaction: This led to a massive sell-off of the KDA token, causing its price to plummet by approximately 60-70% in a single day.
Delisting: Major cryptocurrency exchanges, including OKX and Bybit, subsequently announced they would begin delisting KDA trading services, which further accelerated the sell-off due to reduced liquidity.
📉 Why This Matters for KDA Holders
Liquidity & Access
Once trading pairs are removed, the asset loses exposure and liquidity on one of the largest crypto markets. That tends to squeeze bid-ask spreads and often triggers sharp price moves.
The withdrawal and deposit windows are limited — you’ll want to act before deadlines slip.
Sentiment & Signal
A delisting by Binance sends a market signal — exchanges usually vet projects for ongoing viability, transparency, volume, regulatory compliance and community support.
For KDA, other major exchanges such as OKX and Bybit reportedly already pulled trading pairs or are in process of doing so.
Price Reaction
Delisting announcements often lead to immediate volatility: either panic-selling or speculation-driven buying (rare). In KDA’s case, it appears the market reacted negatively.
Because KDA is facing multiple delistings and network uncertainty, the risk of further downside is elevated.
🧮 What’s Going On with KDA’s Project & Ecosystem
According to available reports, the project team behind Kadena announced they are ceasing business operations and active maintenance of the blockchain.
While the blockchain might still be running, the lack of active development, shrinking community, and major exchange pull-back place it in a fragile position.
Exchanges assess aspects like: team commitment, dev activity, network security, liquidity, community & transparency. These were explicitly referenced by Binance in the announcement.
✅ What Should You Do If You Hold KDA
(Adapt this for your audience at @Shery_07)
Check your holdings on Binance (or other exchanges) — how much KDA you have, which account type (Spot / Margin / Futures), and whether you’ve pending orders.
Decide whether to sell or withdraw:
If you’re bearish / risk averse: Consider selling KDA before delisting deadlines to avoid forced migrations or liquidity issues.
If you believe in a long-shot recovery, ensure you have a safe wallet/exchange that supports KDA post-delisting, and move your tokens out well before trading stops.
Stay aware of the deadlines: For Binance, spot trading ends Nov 12 for KDA. Deposits, withdrawals and other service cut-offs follow certain sequences.
2. Monitor other exchange support: As more exchanges delist, your options shrink. If only niche platforms support KDA, you may face bigger spreads, higher fees, and fewer buyers.
3. Review your portfolio allocation: This event underscores the inherent risk of single-asset exposure in crypto. Diversification, exit plans and risk management matter.
4. Keep an eye on future announcements: Sometimes, project teams or communities may rally, fork, or attempt revival — but don’t count on it. Enter such scenarios only with full awareness of the risk.
🔮 Outlook: What Might Happen Next
Worst-case scenario: KDA liquidity dries up further, listings vanish, price collapses. With network dev support gone, it may become a “zombie chain”.
Moderate scenario: KDA survives on smaller exchanges, community dev picks up minimal maintenance, but growth remains stalled — token price remains suppressed.
Best-case scenario: Project finds new funding/community, relists on smaller exchanges, volume picks up — but this is highly speculative.
From the current signals (delisting, team pull-back, liquidity drain) the scale is tilted toward either the worst- or moderate-case scenarios.
✏️ Final Thoughts for My @Shery_07 Community
This delisting of KDA on Binance is a high-impact event. Whether you’re a trader, investor or HODLer, you should treat this as a red alert. Liquidity matters, and when major outlets like Binance remove an asset, the downstream effects are real and immediate.
If you’re holding KDA:
Don’t assume “nothing will happen” just because you’ve held the token for a while.
Don’t ignore the deadlines.
Re-evaluate your position in the context of your risk appetite, timeframe and diversification strategy.
For the rest of us: this is a reminder that crypto projects are subject to exchange gatekeeping, and listing status does matter more than many retail investors realise until it’s too late.
