Binance has announced the delisting of four altcoins—Alpaca Finance (ALPACA), PlayDapp (PDA), Viberate (VIB), and Wing Finance (WING)—effective May 2, 2025, at 03:00 UTC. The exchange states that this decision follows regular asset quality assessments. Reasons cited include factors such as low development activity, poor trading liquidity, lack of transparency, or concerns regarding regulation or tokenomics.

The delisting includes the complete removal of spot trading pairs, trading bot support, and copy trading services. Deposits will no longer be credited after May 3rd, and withdrawals will stop on July 4, 2025.

Binance delists four Altcoins due to quality concerns

Binance advises users holding these tokens to convert or withdraw them before the deadline to avoid asset loss.

The exchange notes that they may convert any remaining tokens into stablecoin after July 5, but does not provide a definite guarantee about this conversion process.

ALPACA: From delisting disaster to parabolic pump

Despite being on the brink of bankruptcy, Alpaca Finance has exceeded all expectations with a remarkable growth of 1858%, soaring from $0.029 to $0.8312 within a few days. This unexpected rise is mainly due to short selling, as traders expect prices to fall and over-leverage to short—only to be liquidated and forced to buy back at much higher prices.

However, the upward momentum has weakened since then. ALPACA has dropped 53% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.5110. It has lost support at the 20-day EMA, with a potential retest of resistance at $0.5444 ongoing.

The struggle between VIB, PDA, and WING

PDA is down 7.35% to $0.01131, with immediate resistance at the 20-day EMA of $0.01171 and the potential for stronger rejection at the 50-day EMA of $0.01452.

VIB plummeted 50% to $0.01294, currently oscillating near the lower Bollinger Band at $0.01056, a potential recovery zone.

WING, although down 26% to $0.8424, remains resilient for the week, still recording a 7% increase over 7 days. It faces major resistance at the 20-day EMA at $1.2.

Binance's message: Quality over quantity

This delisting marks Binance's ongoing commitment to eliminating stagnant or non-compliant projects.

The exchange emphasizes that metrics such as developer commitment, liquidity, network security, and community transparency are now more important than ever in their evaluation process. The sudden price volatility around ALPACA shows that even when facing delisting, the market remains unpredictable - often punishing short sellers and rewarding opportunists.
