Bitcoin Forum

The below assets have been delisted from KuCoin which means any moment from now withdrwal will be closed as well. Anyone who is holding any of these assets in KuCoin should act quickly before it is too late.
I would say this type of situation is reason why some alts are not good for long term investment because as new potential projects keeps coming up, some existing ones are fading out slowly because they are not able to keep up with the speed at which things operate in the crypto world.
I must say among all these coins, am a bit disappointed about sov being among the list, those who pariticipate in the signature campaign will understand what i meant. Too bad the team where too greedy in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing this information on the forum, mate. This is very useful for holders who don't know that these tokens are delisted from KuCoin. I wonder why among those on the delist there are projects that I think are quite promising, such as TomoChain (TOMO), Tokocrypto (TKO), Aavegotchi (GHST), Augur (REP), Bancor (BNT), Alpaca Finance (ALPACA) and Mobox (MBOX).

Even though this is old information, this information is still very relevant to share, a little additional information from the original source that the last withdrawal can be made for the assets you mentioned above is June 28, 2023 (UTC). - Source (https://www.kucoin.com/news/en-st-kucoin-delisting-of-some-projects-20221223)

This update is helpful for newbies who want to gamble with altcoins to avoid the trap of getting into delisted coins.

On of my friends who want to make quick profits recently bought some altcoin instead of Bitcoin as advised, and surprise to us two of the coin he invested in can't be fund on any exchange,  as there doesn't have a trading volume on the only exchange their claim to be listed on.

Thanks for sharing the information. However, if I may ask, what could be the reason(s) for KuCoin delisting the coins/tokens? Is it that they have low trading volume? Or the team behind the coins are corrupt or could not meet some desirable requests from KuCoin? Knowing the reasons could help some holders of the coin to continue holding in some other exchange or sell the token/coin outright. 

There’s a reason why they get delisted, and they are fully aware about that rules with exchanges, I’m not sure if these projects are too bad or they are already done hyping the project. Being delisted will result into a negative impact on that project, they should have prevented this from happening but maybe its already beyond their control. If you are holding some of this altcoins, better to withdraw it now before its too late.

thank you for bringing this to your attention. i wouldn't have noticed otherwise.i guess i have to finally withdraw my last coins from kucoin.

Man! Thanks a bunch for this info, am off to sell my few GO and CS in kuCoin before they become useless completely. Damn some altercoins can't be trusted.

I have not heard of any of these coins, but whatever currency represents a great opportunity for you, if it is not listed on at least 10 crypto exchanges with good liquidity, you risk losing your investment in something that you may not be able to sell in the future.

Unfortunately, your chance now is to sell for a price much lower than its advertised price, and therefore today loss is better than a future loss.

Yeah, I was opportuned to participate in the sovryn signature campaign years back, but majority of the tokens I am not familiar with, I figured someone here may find the list useful and quickly take action.


You are welcome bro, am glad the post is useful to you, better to quickly take action before there is no exchange to trade it and it becomes useless.

Thanks for the head-up. It seems like none of the small-cap projects that i am holding is affected this time. KuCoin has always been the big exchange that was listing the most small coins in my opinion and i also think this helped KuCoin to become one of the biggest exchanges today, because i would guess a lot of those holders of those small project only had KuCoin as a reliable exchange to trade and afterwards they have sticked around and kept on using Kucoin.
Obviously from time to time you have to make a checkup and if a project has almost no trading volume anymore, then the exchange will delist it, because otherwise it is just lost money for them because they have to keep supporting it even though they are not making money from trading fees with it.

Kucoin is an okay exchange for a lot of "mid-level" tokens but delisting here isn't probably not that detrimental. Majority of the volume for most of delisted tokens most probably come from "DEX".
 
Maybe they really do not have a solid long-term plan or vision for the project to begin with that's why they're struggling to keep up. They can give you roadmap or whatever but the market evolves so fast that their grand goals are crushed by reality.

What does this tell you, most if not all of these altcoins are not for the long term as we have seen always been delisted from this exchange, I also remember when SOV have that huge move back after their bounty campaign and to see that even their exchange, SOV trading has really lost volume.
Most of these tokens I don't know except a few.

There are many reasons to delist a token but i think low trading volume is one of the big reason, and the project teams aren’t active, i don’t know what's others reasons. But i have seen in the list a few coins was very potential and these are too old project. Even CS,PPT,BNT those was top 100 ranked coins. 

According to the Special Treatment Rules of KuCoin, the following projects have been disqualified. Special treatment means, in short, that a currency is placed under observation for a specific period to monitor the volume of trading and the volume of liquidity. And as soon as that period expires without progress being noticed, that currency is removed from the list of available pairs. Of course, this has nothing to do with the reputation of the currency, because as we can see, there are currencies for promising projects, but they may not have found enough popularity among Kucoin users:

Its always the trading volume. Since they are an exchange their business relies on transaction fees, and if those project cant have a solid transaction of buying and selling then that means that they arent helping their business. Of course there are terms or extent to that like, durations or warning if they didnt hit trading volume of like this. Cause some of these are probably did pay for listing and they have t&c for that.

I have heard of a few like pivx which was very sensational before when you can have a master node of it. There are other altcoins that I know in this delisted lists. It's not that sad to see them go and not that surprising at all because most of the alts fame really is going out of tune every year that passes by.
I think this thread is more suitable to be in the Service Discussion (Altcoins).

For a while, we were frequently exposed to advertisements about some of these coins. I was very surprised to see Kucoin delisting them today. Actually, I did not see any of these coins as long-term investment tools, but I was very surprised that they were delisted even from Kucoin. Kucoin seemed a little more flexible in this regard. It has been a topic that reminds us that we should not make long-term investments, except for Bitcoin and a few major altcoins.

Most altcoins are good for short-term speculations and with high risk, because if you are not lucky some of them never do well even on short-term bases, worst more is when you invested in a pre listed coins, there can take an eternity to get listed and most time get investors frustrated.
-And even if you invest in some already listed coins,  there is still a high risk of a dump in price and trading volume.
-The pump schemes most time result in the coins getting delisted from top exchanges.
-So only bitcoin should be taken for long-term investment, not altcoin because there is high volatility in the altcoin market.

Nice ideas from OP sharing about delisting coin from KuCoin and helped me more because I traded not only in Binance but also KuCoin become my second priority exchange for trading actually after listing with altcoin having Primer category. Its seems many altcoin have been delisted from KuCoin and most risking for investing with shit coins because have potential for delisting and price going drop drastically.

I think should be priority not only buy KuCoin's member but also from KuCoin exchange market for listing with new coins and having potential keep existing until for longer time, usually have some coins listed few months only and lower transaction volume due price drop then have decision by KuCoin for delisting on their market.

Of the entire list, I only know Bancor :)

Kucoin is not a big exchange like Binance so impacts from delisting news on Kucoin are less than from Binance. However, I would like to warn altcoin lovers that it is a kind of risk.

In bear market, exchanges are more actively delist coins that brings risk to altcoin lovers. You can find altcoins with very lovely charts, prices fall to likely bottom areas and trading volumes become very low than previously. It looks like good signals of bottom and only wait for great recovery.

Unfortunately, it is not true in reality. If exchanges go ahead with delisting, there will be no recovery but will be another crash and you get loss.

Some of the coins that are listed are already in the market like 5 years ago when I'm starting to learn crypto. Coins such as: PIVX, Populous, Tomochain, Tokocrypto, Augur, Bancor, Power Ledger, Metahash, IDEX.

I saw Credits and SOV on the list as well. The 2 projects that I almost invested my money with. Credits has one of the most successful ICO's way back in 2017, and I will not forget that one while SOV is the one that I followed, but unfortunately I didn't have money by the time I want to invest into it.

Some of the coins are NFT game coins, and some are just unpopular. Kucoin has been there for years, but I'm not using it at all since I only use Binance. Anyway, coin delisting often leads to a huge loss to the price of the coin so a bit unfortunate for those who are holding these coins. Hope they managed to withdraw their assets there and sold it.

Good to know that i not only don't have any of these coins, i even never heard anything about them

Thanks for the heads up, good thing that I've read all those delisted coins in that exchange. Honestly, some of those altcoins that was delisted were actually not that popular, do not have a good crypto use and doesn't have a good trading volume at all. Hence, there are still new altcoins that are potentially be good and can be choose to be traded on some exchange like kucoin and binance.

I agreed with you, Kucoin isn’t a major exchanges as like Binance but also it's not a small exchange, you know all of the projects aren’t able to list in Binance but when Kucoin is their big exchange and i see a lot of coins here only listed Kucoin, now what happened with those coins investors? i think definitely it will a big affect for many projects.

Just because of signature campaign or bounty campaign conducted here, there can be nothing stopping an altcoin to be a shitcoin. I have watched many altcoins which was into top 25 ranking in coinmarketcap and then getting delisted from major exchanges due to lack of volumes. In my understanding, if a coin is capable of attracting enough traders to generate volumes on day-to-day basis then it will not get delisted.

So, not having enough adapters must be the simple reason why we do come across this kind of delisting news very frequently from exchanges. When a coin is not meeting a basic criteria, then there will be no point on having it in a trading portal; exchanges are doing right, I agree.

This is very serious and I think one of the reasons why they are delisted is because the team might not be ready to tender the necessary documents and the team behind many of those projects. The numbers are high and I just pity for those that are holding some of the coins because that alone can make the price to fall drastically without you knowing the reasons.

So many coins and quite few of them are actually good project back in the past getting delisted, it was rather frustating that so many coins that have high market capitalization eventually falls and getting delisted, even though it is part of their effort in increasing the efficiency of their system to make their exchange not getting overly populated with some low trading volume coins and more likely to open up chance for new coin listing.

or better yet, most of these alts don't have active trading orders anymore. i've seen good project from the list, and well, their lifespan is really not that long. the more reason you can give to yourself to stick with btc and top alts.
the worry also about these alts is that if you haven't been keeping up with their updates, you will indeed end up holding bag of worthless coins or tokens.

it's just common sense of getting rid some of the coins that have insufficient trading volume. nothing complicated behind it, it's just these coins are losing its fame and the exchanges aren't really eager in keeping this coin in their platform.
this is why holding some old coins might be disadvantageous towards our investments they could just gets delisted out of the blue, the listing in famous exchange aren't forever, instead it will always be like a race where you should prevent your coin trading volume from falling.
even worse is that, even if your coin still have quite the trading volume, it might gets delisted out of the blue, of course delisting like this wouldn't happen in coin that already big enough like btc, eth even meme coins like doge coin, what matters most is the fame and trading volume.

These altcoins are indeed shitcoins. I don't know any altcoins from the list.
Kucoin Exchange is a famous exchange for gem hunting, gem hunters know about this, Kucoin is your friend. As there are a lot of small market caps before that listed on this exchange if you want to find some quality altcoins but high risk also.
Since there are already lot of decentralized exchanges now, Kucoin became not that popular already because you can buy new altcoins on decentralized exchange, and that's why for sure Kucoin started to delist a lot of altcoins because of low trading volume already.

Never heard about half of those coins to be honest. Exchanges are dying month by month, FTX was only the first. I think we'll lose at least one more this year.

Many of those alts are once popular here in the forum but I wonder why you didn't recognize even a few of them? There are some who are not popular in the forum but are still popular outside. Mobox for example and to be honest im kinda shocked a bit when kuckoin is planning to delist it, but how when I think they aren't a shitcoin and I think their volume are still high.

Oh well, I guess we can't do much about it. That was their platform so they have the rights to do what they want. I think even kucoin delists these altcoins, they are still listed on other exchanges including on the ones that are on the top. We can do a research to be sure before we panic and sell them permanently.

I am disappointed hyperr that is the defunct udoo and idex have been delisted. What happened to the teams? I thought they were reliable, especially idex. Too bad

Not sure what could be the reason, but I could speculate that maybe majority of them are not that active in the trading floor, or the devs completely abandon them, so yeah small to no volume. I wouldn't say that they are corrupt, I think it's one of the most reputable coin, but if this coins are not making them money so obviously they will have to de-list them and have some new coins replace them. That's has been the practice of most top tier exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase, de-listing coins with no strings attached.

The impact will be on the hodlers of this coin, what will happen if there are no exchanges that list them? they might as well go and die?


Correct, bear market is a true test how this altcoin projects are going to survived. The first sign though that they might not last this bear market is them being delisting by some exchanges because of inactivity. So again this is going to be bad for their investors and as it's movement as going to be limited on small exchanges that are still listing them for trades.

Probably this is just the result of their failed updates with the project and the hype was gone already, so you can expect the downside of the project but this is not the end yet since there’s still have the chance to bet listed into other exchange. Try to look for their progress, and see if Kucoin made the right decision on delisting them, for sure  all of this alts fall into a category that is not ok with Kucoin, too bad for the long term investor of those projects.

This means nothing to me, Tokocrypto for example has 42% of it's volume on Binance exchange, and the token is listed on many others like gate, bkex, wazirx, MXC and more, it's just unfortunate that the volume on Kucoin is under 50,000$ compare to 3.4million volume on Binance exchange alone, this point is invalid to me, delisting doesn't mean the end or a project is bad.

You are right in what you said which is marked in black bold, delisting doesn't mean the end of a project or the project is bad, they just don't meet the requirements anymore to be traded on KuCoin. But you're wrong in what you said which is marked in red bold, the info presented by the OP is very helpful here, we don't know whether there are holders of the tokens aware of the delisting news or not, so at least the OP saved them from their unconscious so they can make withdrawals before the token/coin really can no longer operate on KuCoin.

That of Tomochain surprised me, actually. I thought that project is a good one but don't know what indeed happened. I quickly did a check on its price immediately I saw this thread. It's trading around 42cents now and that's still way ahead of its ATL which was 13cents according to Coingecko data. Tomo was one of those projects I missed buying at its earlier stage as it was already high when I noticed it. Now that this news is emanating, I think I'm going to consider taking another look at it. Perhaps after the drama, who knows it may still be there for a taking.

So all pairs from them are delisted? Usually cexes delist pairs that don't have enough volume so they don't need to waste market makers / liquidity on them.
But then again it wouldn't surprise me if kucoin delisted 70% of their tokens. They have a reputation of listing absolutely every shit token out there.
