Binance adds 4 tokens to Monitoring Tag, raising delisting risk
Binance added four tokens to its Monitoring Tag list on June 18, subjecting Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT), Blur (BLUR), PIVX and QuarkChain (QKC) to stricter listing standards on Spot and Margin.
"Tokens added to the Monitoring Tag exhibit notably higher volatility and risks compared to other listed tokens," Binance said in its announcement. The exchange reviews tagged assets periodically to determine whether they continue to meet listing requirements.
The four tokens join a list of assets under heightened scrutiny on the world's largest crypto exchange by volume. Binance held between 25% and 30% of total stablecoin supply as of June, accounting for more than half of exchange-held reserves, according to CryptoQuant data. The exchange processed $10.3 billion in pre-IPO perpetual volume in June, roughly 20 times the entire month of May.
If Binance determines any of the four tokens no longer meet its listing standards, full delisting could follow, potentially wiping out substantial market value. The move comes as altcoin trading activity remains elevated — altcoins accounted for 51% of daily futures trading volume on June 16, CryptoQuant data shows — even as cumulative spot demand for the sector has fallen to a new low.
The Monitoring Tag designation means Binance is evaluating whether these assets still comply with its exchange criteria. Users trading the four tokens on Binance Spot or Margin will be affected by the update. The exchange has not disclosed a specific timeline for its review.
The broader altcoin market has shown signs of capital recycling rather than fresh inflows. Data from CryptoQuant shows the one-year cumulative buy-sell volume for altcoins has reached a new low, with selling pressure outweighing buying demand for an extended period. Stablecoin exchange supply ratios have fluctuated between 0.40 and 0.46 since December 2024, indicating that roughly 40% to 46% of circulating ERC-20 stablecoins have remained on exchanges for more than a year.
Market analyst MorenoDV noted that exchange stablecoin balances have changed little since December 2024, even as Bitcoin swung between $60,000 and $120,000 during the same period. This suggests liquidity has stayed available but capital deployment has become increasingly selective, with exchange users allocating across a wider range of assets including metals, oil, equities and pre-IPO contracts.
