Delisting Risk

Definition

Delisting risk is the possibility that a digital asset or security will be removed from a trading platform or exchange. This risk arises when an asset fails to meet an exchange’s listing standards, such as minimum trading volume, liquidity requirements, or compliance with regulatory mandates. Delisting can significantly impair an asset’s market access and liquidity, potentially causing its value to decrease substantially. Regulatory actions or changes in an asset’s underlying project status often precipitate such events.
