In a recent announcement, Binance revealed findings from a platform-wide audit uncovering that certain tokens have embedded “transfer tax” or “hidden fee” mechanisms, which apply undisclosed charges during user transactions.
These hidden fees disrupt how transactions are processed on Binance’s systems, leading to inconsistencies in execution, balance updates, and user experience.
The audit raised concerns about transparency and compliance, prompting Binance to take immediate action to maintain operational integrity and uphold user trust.
Delisting of Non-Compliant Tokens Set for April 17
To address these irregularities, Binance has announced the removal of all tokens identified as non-compliant from its Binance Alpha platform.
The removal is scheduled to take place at 11:00 AM (UTC) on April 17, 2025. Among the affected tokens are GOUT, GAME, and GAMEAI.
Binance emphasized that this action is necessary to align with its technical requirements and to prevent further complications related to transaction processing errors caused by hidden transfer fees.
The platform reiterated its commitment to protecting users from potential financial losses associated with these undisclosed deductions.

The temporary trading access is designed to minimize disruption and allow users to manage or liquidate their positions gradually, rather than forcing abrupt exits.
Binance’s measured approach aims to offer users flexibility while prioritizing system accuracy and regulatory compliance.
