|---|---|---|
| ACX (Across Protocol) | -19.44% | High Risk: The project is reportedly winding down its DAO structure to transition to a U.S. C-corporation [Verified: The Defiant, Coindesk]. It also suffered a ~$4.5M exploit on July 26, 2026 [Source: https://x.com/search?q=ACX+exploit+Binance+delisting]. |
| HFT (Hashflow) | -17.29% | Liquidity Risk: Hit an all-time low of ~$0.007. Trading volume surged 13x during the crash, indicating heavy liquidation [Source: https://www.binance.com/en/price/hashflow]. |
| PYR (Vulcan Forged) | -13.70% | Uncertainty: Vulcan Forged has begun unstaking users and is considering a project relaunch or closure. Only current holders may be eligible for a potential relaunch [Source: https://x.com/VulcanForged/status/1785750885]. |

Recommended Actions
- ACX Holders: Due to the project's wind-down and recent exploit, liquidity on other exchanges may be limited. Traders should consider exiting before the August 17 spot deadline.
