Delisting Risks on Top Exchanges: How Liquidity Keeps Tokens Listed

When a listing turns into a risk

Getting listed on an exchange is every crypto project’s milestone - but staying listed is the real challenge. 

Every quarter, dozens of tokens quietly disappear from exchanges like Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, BitMart, Lbanr, XT.com, Biconomy, Coinstore, WEEX, AscendEX, and others. It’s not always due to scandals, hacks, or regulations. In most cases, delistings happen for one reason: liquidity failure.

Low trading volume, wide spreads, empty order books, and inconsistent depth trigger automatic exchange alerts. Behind every delisting notice lies a simple reality - exchanges want seamless execution and a market that looks healthy for traders.If your token’s liquidity collapses, it’s flagged as unsafe - and it can be removed faster than you expect.

Why tokens get delisted

Top exchanges use automated systems to monitor the health of every trading pair 24/7.Their algorithms continuously measure parameters like spread width, order-book depth, and trading frequency - and if these metrics fall below minimum thresholds, delisting is almost guaranteed.

According to official delisting policies published by major Tier 1-2 platforms, a token may be delisted if it fails to meet criteria like:

• Spread width exceeding 2%.

• Less than 30 orders on either side of the order book.

• Less than 3,000 USDT worth of orders on either side of the orderbook within 2% price range of the market price

• Less than 5,000 USDT worth of orders on either side of the orderbook within 5% price range of the market price

• Less than 10,000 USDT worth of orders on either side of the orderbook within 10% price range of the market price

• Average daily trading volume below 50,000 USDT.

• Less than 1 trade per hour or highly irregular activity.

These standards are not unique to MEXC or BitMart - nearly every mid-tier exchange enforces similar thresholds in their listing contracts and health monitoring systems.

Even well-funded projects can face removal if their markets don’t meet these technical liquidity standards. For exchanges, maintaining market integrity is critical; for projects, failure means losing visibility, reputation, and investor confidence overnight.

Liquidity as a survival strategy

Healthy liquidity is what separates sustainable projects from short-lived ones.It ensures fair pricing, predictable execution, and investor trust - the three factors exchanges look at before delisting a token.

This is where professional liquidity agencies like BeLiquid become essential.They maintain two-sided order books, manage depth at key price levels, and synchronize liquidity conditions across multiple CEXs and DeFi pools.This not only prevents technical delisting triggers but also improves the overall credibility of the token’s chart.

BeLiquid’s Anti-Delisting Package

For projects already facing delisting warnings, BeLiquid offers a dedicated Anti-Delisting Package - a structured recovery program proven to rescue tokens from removal on all top-tier exchanges like Bitget, Gate.io, MEXC, BitMart, Lbanr, XT.com, Biconomy, Coinstore, WEEX, AscendEX, and others.

Problem:When liquidity requirements outlined in an exchange contract are not met, the trading pair gets hidden or removed.

Solution:BeLiquid has been saving projects from delisting for over 6 years, restoring liquidity and compliance within just 7 days. Over 80% of projects that entered delisting risk were rescued and stabilized through this program.

How it works:

• Days 0–7: Full setup, API integration, verification, and immediate liquidity support to meet exchange metrics and stop the delisting process.

• Days 7–30: Execution of the custom liquidity plan, review of performance, and roadmap creation for long-term growth.

• After 30 days: Continuous liquidity optimization, building natural volume and maintaining a healthy order-book structure.

Minimum liquidity required.BeLiquid ensures even limited budgets can meet exchange thresholds - avoiding “dry” books and red flags from monitoring systems.

Each rescue plan includes continuous analytics, real-time reporting, and 24/7 coverage to help the project rebuild confidence and maintain listing stability.

The new compliance layer: continuous liquidity

Exchanges are now treating liquidity not as a bonus, but as a compliance requirement.A project that can’t demonstrate consistent trading health is seen as a reputational and operational risk.That’s why more token issuers integrate liquidity programs directly into their business models from the start - ensuring that listing success doesn’t end with the first candle on the chart.

Forward-thinking teams work with liquidity partners capable of:

• Maintaining spread and depth compliance across all venues.

• Managing unlocks and treasury movements without destabilizing markets.

• Providing transparent reports for exchange reviews and audits.

As BeLiquid experts emphasize:

“Healthy liquidity isn’t about numbers - it’s about credibility. A chart that trades clean builds trust; a chaotic one loses listings.”

A look ahead

Delisting is neither random nor mysterious - it’s entirely predictable and preventable.In 2025 alone, over 60 tokens were removed from Tier-1 and Tier-2 exchanges for failing to meet liquidity standards.Meanwhile, projects supported by professional liquidity agencies like BeLiquid maintained stable volumes, tight spreads, and full compliance through turbulent markets.

For exchanges, delisting keeps order books clean. For projects, it can erase years of work overnight. Maintaining liquidity is no longer optional - it’s a core part of market infrastructure.

Conclusion

The crypto market is maturing fast.Exchanges now demand consistency, transparency, and depth - not hype.Tokens that fail to meet those expectations risk being delisted, while those backed by strategic liquidity management remain stable and investable.

With its Anti-Delisting Package and long-term liquidity programs, BeLiquid helps projects prevent red flags, stabilize markets, and protect their listings - before, during, and after exchange audits.

Because a strong listing starts with hype, but it survives on liquidity.
