Polkastarter also gained significant popularity by supporting new projects.
Binance insisted that deposits and withdrawals of the delisted tokens will be supported until October 28, after which users will not be able to withdraw their funds to external wallets.

After reviewing its token listings and considering customer feedback, Binance has opened the period of delisting and auto-conversion. For instance, Tornado Cash has been in the spotlight for its involvement in money laundering and has received significant sanctions across different jurisdictions.&nbsp;

Despite the exchange’s delistings this year, Binance has also introduced new tokens to its ecosystem. One notable addition was Eigen Layer’s EIGEN token, introduced to the Binance ecosystem on October 1. The exchange added the token to Simple Earn, Auto-Invest, Buy Crypto, Convert, and Margin. Binance offered EIGEN alongside BTC, FDUSD, USDT, and TRY pairs.&nbsp;
The listing seemed to motivate other chains to add the token to their ecosystems. On September 27, Coinbase <a href="https://x.com/CoinbaseAssets/status/1839756571452051882" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">tweeted</a> that it had added EIGEN to its roadmap.

Another exchange, Bitmart, also <a href="https://x.com/BitMartExchange/status/1840285790070264122" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">announced</a> its plans to introduce the EIGEN token to its platform, according to a tweet from September 29.
