Binance Delisting Alert

Get notified the instant Binance publishes a delisting announcement. Ultra-fast delivery of every Binance spot and futures delisting via WebSocket API.

Why Binance delisting alerts matter

When Binance announces a delisting, the affected token's price typically drops 20-50% within minutes as traders rush to exit positions. Detecting these announcements early gives you time to close positions, short the asset on other venues, or avoid buying into a token that is about to lose its largest exchange listing.

Binance publishes both spot delistings (spot_delisting) and futures delistings (futures_delisting). Our system detects both types and extracts the affected tickers automatically.

Related: Binance Monitoring Tag alerts

Before Binance delists a token, it often appears on the Monitoring Tag list — a softer warning Binance applies to assets showing high volatility or other risk signals. We dispatch monitoring_tag_extend events when tokens are added to that list and monitoring_tag_remove events when the warning is lifted. Both belong to the same risk-event family as delistings, so most bots that subscribe to delistings also subscribe to Monitoring Tag changes. See Binance Monitoring Tag alerts for the full event format and trading semantics.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Binance delisting?

A delisting is when Binance removes a trading pair from spot or futures markets. The exchange publishes a notice ahead of the cutoff date listing the affected tickers and the timestamp when trading and withdrawals stop.

Why is detecting delistings fast valuable?

The market typically reprices a delisted token sharply downward within minutes of the announcement. Bots that act on the delisting notice in time can exit existing positions on Binance or open shorts on the same token on other venues that still list it.

Are spot and futures delistings both covered?

Yes. Both spot_delisting and futures_delisting events are dispatched. Use the listingType field on each message to route based on the market segment your bot trades.

Are delisting alerts available on the free tier?

Yes. The free tier delivers delisting events with the same dispatch path as paid tiers, but the title and ticker fields are blanked. You can verify the dispatch latency without giving up the listing-moment edge that paid subscribers rely on. See pricing.

How do I subscribe to delistings only?

Connect to wss://cryptolisting.ws with X-API-Key authentication and use ?cex=binance. On each message, check that listingType is spot_delisting or futures_delisting before reacting.
