Where did you hear this? @aquietinvestor has been working with Binance to resolve this issue with TEX addresses and they accepted it. It wouldn’t make sense for them to then delist after they already went through the work of reviewing and accepting the new address type.
The “monitoring” tag is not an indication of an imminent delisting, but we don’t know exactly what else they want to remove it.
Hopefully they will simply remove it because it confuses users.
Further to my update above, Binance recently reaffirmed that there is no imminent risk of delisting Zcash. However, future developments are uncertain, and new factors could potentially affect their decision. At this time, there is no indication that a change is expected.
Unfortunately, Binance has once again rejected my request to remove the monitoring tag from Zcash. It also appears that Binance did not remove the monitoring tag from Firo, despite their progress in implementing an Exchange Address type. As I mentioned in July, the only “privacy” coin that has been removed from the monitoring list is ZEN, which has eliminated all of its privacy features. We obviously have no intention of taking that route. I have asked Binance to provide information on when the tag might be removed or what requirements need to be met for its removal, but they have not provided clear information. Based on this decision, it seems likely that Zcash will remain on the monitoring list as long as it retains its privacy features.
As @Shawn mentioned, the monitoring list is not an indication of imminent delisting. Binance recently reaffirmed that there is no risk of Zcash being delisted in the near future.
we really need to think about how much time, money and effort we are going to put into things like this in the future.
It is my hope that we can organize an engineering retrospective on this matter and I’ll definitely will bring this point up. Thank you for your reflections.
