Binance Reconsiders Plan to Delist Privacy Coins in Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a comment received on June 26 from the cryptocurrency exchange, Binance stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“After carefully considering feedback from our community and several projects, we have revised how we classify privacy coins on our platform to comply with EU-wide regulatory requirements.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Since it operates as an exchange registered in multiple EU jurisdictions, it is “required” to comply with local regulations requiring exchanges to “monitor transactions for coins listed on our platform.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Binance <\/a>was scheduled to delist privacy tokens for users in France, Italy, Spain, and Poland on June 26, preventing them from purchasing or selling 12 privacy tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision would impact the following cryptocurrencies: Decred (DCR), Dash (DASH), ZEC, Horizen (ZEN), PIVX (PIVX), Navcoin (NAV), Secret (SCRT), Verge (XVG), Firo (FIRO), Beam (BEAM), XMR, and MobileCoin (MOB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, after the decision was reversed, numerous tokens took to Twitter to reassure community members. The Verge Currency updated its website on June 22:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Network has also announced that it is among the cryptocurrencies that Binance will not delist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU has been refining its standards for digital assets as part of its new Markets in Crypto-Assets <\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>(MiCA) regulations, which became law on May 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By implementing clear regulations, EU officials intended to make Europe a hub for crypto and digital assets. It plans to launch a MiCA consultation process in July, as the laws' framework suggested an 18-month implementation period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies in the industry, such as Ripple, a provider of cryptocurrency payment services, have embraced the MiCA regulations due to their clarity.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
