Upbit to Delist Alpha Quark (AQT) and Aergo (AERGO) on August 3
South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit has announced it will delist two tokens: Alpha Quark (AQT) and Aergo (AERGO). The delisting will take effect at 6:00 a.m. UTC on August 3, 2026. The exchange cited its internal review criteria for digital asset listings as the basis for the decision.
Upbit, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume globally, confirmed the removal of AQT and AERGO from its platform. Trading pairs for these tokens will be suspended at the specified time. Users holding these assets are advised to withdraw them before the deadline. After the delisting, Upbit will no longer support deposits or withdrawals for AQT and AERGO.
Cryptocurrency exchanges periodically review listed assets to ensure compliance with regulatory standards, security protocols, and market demand. Delistings often occur due to low trading volume, project inactivity, regulatory concerns, or failure to meet updated listing requirements. For South Korean exchanges like Upbit, local financial regulations also play a significant role, as authorities require strict adherence to anti-money laundering and investor protection rules.
Investors holding AQT or AERGO on Upbit should transfer their tokens to a compatible wallet or another exchange that still supports these assets before the August 3 deadline. Failure to do so may result in loss of access. It is important to verify withdrawal addresses and network compatibility in advance.
South Korea remains one of the most active cryptocurrency markets in the world, but its regulatory environment is also among the strictest. The Financial Services Commission (FSC) requires all registered exchanges to conduct rigorous reviews of listed digital assets. Delistings like this one are not uncommon and are part of routine compliance procedures. Traders should monitor official exchange announcements for any further updates.
Upbit’s delisting of AQT and AERGO serves as a reminder that cryptocurrency listings are not permanent. Investors should stay informed about exchange policies and maintain control of their private keys to avoid disruption. The August 3 deadline is firm, and timely action is recommended.
Q1: What happens to my AQT or AERGO tokens after the delisting?You must withdraw your tokens to a personal wallet or another exchange before the August 3 deadline. After that, Upbit will no longer support these assets.
Q2: Can I still trade AQT and AERGO on other exchanges?Yes, these tokens may still be available on other exchanges that have not delisted them. Check individual platform listings for availability.
Q3: Why did Upbit delist these tokens?Upbit follows an internal review process based on trading volume, project development, and regulatory compliance. The exact reasons for each delisting are not always disclosed publicly.
