The wave of delistings is here, and the community is a bit chaotic— but there's really nothing to panic about.

Recently, I saw that a major exchange plans to delist 20 trading pairs including ACT/FDUSD, AEVO/FDUSD, etc., by January 13, 2026, sparking a lot of discussion in the forums. As a trader who has been in this industry for many years, I want to break down the logic behind this.

The superficial reason given is regulatory review, but looking at on-chain data makes it clear—these trading pairs have long lacked activity. Some have daily trading volumes so low they’re practically zombie tokens. This delisting operation is essentially the platform tidying up: removing inactive assets and focusing resources on projects with real momentum and innovation.

In the short term, there will indeed be volatility. Coins that were pumped through volume manipulation or projects with questionable quality, holders need to be cautious. The risk of a dump definitely exists.

But from a long-term perspective? My judgment on the crypto market remains unchanged. Why? The on-chain data shows it—big funds have never truly exited. The DeFi ecosystem is evolving, Layer2 solutions are still rapidly developing, and innovation continues unabated. Every market correction is a process of survival of the fittest. Are truly valuable projects going to disappear? No. The removal of worthless coins and trash projects actually indicates the market is self-healing.

I’ve previously predicted several bottom rebounds based on on-chain data and market signals, and I haven’t missed them. The same logic applies this time. Delisting isn’t negative news; it’s a sign of a healthy market—allowing bubbles to burst and helping genuine projects stand out.

A piece of advice for friends who want to participate: stay calm and don’t be scared by short-term fluctuations. Sell off the trash coins, hold onto projects with real potential. The story of the crypto market is far from over—innovation continues, and opportunities are still here. Keep an eye on on-chain movements and wait for the next wave of momentum.

ACT-0,64%

FDUSD-0,01%

AEVO-1,93%

It's that kind of "cleaning up" talk again, why do I just not buy it... But on the other hand, those cryptocurrencies with daily trading volumes in the single digits really should have been gone long ago. Late at night while checking the market, I looked at the gas tracker and realized it might be better to save this time for careful planning to avoid pitfalls. Honestly, compared to chasing hot topics, I care more about whether on-chain liquidity has truly recovered.

This wave of delistings is actually a good thing; trash coins deserve to die. --- Another round of cleansing, it was long overdue. --- On-chain data doesn't lie; as long as there’s big capital involved, everything is fine. --- Those zombie coins have been cleared out, and genuine projects are now more refreshing. --- I trust the logic of on-chain data; I’ve never fallen into a trap before. --- Why panic? Just cut the trash coins when needed, keep the promising ones. --- Market self-repair is a normal process; I’m used to it. --- Short-term fluctuations are normal; in the long run, there are still opportunities for innovation. --- Washout coins have been cleared out; this is true natural selection. --- DeFi and L2 are still running; the story is far from over. --- Don’t be scared into selling by delisting; focusing on on-chain data is the real key. --- The delisting wave actually indicates market recovery, not a bad signal. --- Stay calm; coins with real substance won’t die easily.

Another wave of delistings, but there's really no need to overreact this time. The market is just like this, constantly shaking out weak hands.

Zombie coins delisting is just cleanup, I’m not worried. The real projects still have vitality. --- Another wave of stampede drama, holders should recognize the quality of their chips. --- Looking at on-chain data, this wave is either bad news or the market’s self-healing process. --- Who are short-term fluctuations frightening? Big funds are already eyeing the next opportunity. --- Getting rid of trash coins is actually a good thing. Cut your losses when needed, don’t be soft. --- At times like these, it’s easiest to see who truly has value and who is just blowing air. --- Every time there’s an adjustment, some cry; every adjustment, some buy the dip. Which side will you choose? --- The coins with pathetic daily trading volume on the delisting list deserve to be gone early. --- Calm-minded people are now picking up bargains, those with unstable mindsets are cutting losses. What about you? --- On-chain data speaks for itself; don’t let the screams on forums set the rhythm.
