TRX dropped 6.4% on the news, according to CoinDesk market data.

Binance.US says trading for TRX will end on April 18.

"We operate in a rapidly evolving industry and our digital asset monitoring process is designed to be responsive to market and regulatory developments. When a digital asset no longer meets our high standards, or industry circumstances change, we conduct a more in-depth review of the affected asset and assess whether further action is necessary," Binance.US said on its page announcing the delisting.

A spokesperson for Tron said it is in communication with Binance.US over this and has no further comment at this time.
