In most cases, when an issuer violates key guidelines set by the exchange, they will get a notice that will include certain measures they can take and other recommendations from the exchange administration. 

If the issuer continuously fails to comply, the exchange can go through with the delisting process, which generally goes like this:

• Notification: Typically, the exchange will provide advance notice to traders and investors about the impending delisting, along with the reasons for it
• Trading Halt: Trading in the asset may be halted temporarily to prevent further trading while the delisting process is underway
• Liquidation: Depending on the circumstances, the exchange may provide guidance on how traders can sell or liquidate their holdings before the delisting date
• Withdrawal: Following delisting, investors might have a window of time during which they can withdraw or transfer their assets to another exchange or wallet
• Final Delisting: The asset is officially removed from the exchange's listing, and trading ceases. It may be completely removed from the exchange's platform

The reasons behind a delisting can vary greatly. Each exchange may have different rules and requirements to issuers.

In some scenarios, issuers may not even violate any particular provisions of the exchange, but the exchange still maintains the right to notify and delist a particular security. 

Low Trading Activity

When a listed security does not attract much interest from market participants, their trading volume is likely to remain low, which may not comply with the daily average trading volume requirements of the exchange. 

Exchanges need continuous liquidity to maintain their competitive edge, which is not possible by maintaining many listings that do not generate interest from traders. 

Financial Troubles

If the issuer of an asset faces financial difficulties or goes bankrupt, the exchange may choose to delist the asset due to concerns about its financial health.

In some cases, companies will try to arrange an acquisition to take the company private after a third entity buys out all of the shares from the exchange.

Security Concerns & Sanctions

If there are security breaches, vulnerabilities, or fraud associated with an asset, the exchange may delist it to protect investors.

In the case of international sanctions, securities that are listed on foreign exchanges may be halted or delisted after investors sell off in panic. 

Issuer’s Request

In some cases, the issuer of the asset may request delisting. This might occur if they decide to restructure or discontinue the asset.

In some cases, issuers may decide that a public listing is not as advantageous to them anymore. 

Regulatory Issues

Regulatory changes or violations can lead to the delisting of an asset. If an asset doesn't comply with the exchange's listing requirements or regulatory standards, it may be removed.

• Delistings from an exchange happen when the issuer fails to comply with the rules and requirements set by the exchange
• Major exchanges, such as Nasdaq and the NYSE, have stringent requirements when it comes to price, trading volume, and market capitalization of their listings 
• Exchanges will give issuers early notices about a violation and give them a certain amount of time to fix the issue. If the issuer continuously fails to resolve the issue, the exchange reserves the right to delist
