PANews reported on October 8 that according to Cryptoslate, according to a recent report by Kaiko, nearly 60 privacy tokens have been delisted from centralized exchanges this year, setting a record high since 2021. The report tracks Monero (XMR), Dash (DASH), Decred (DCR), Mask (MASK), Rose (ROSE) and Zcash (ZEC). XMR had the largest number of delistings, a 6-fold increase year-on-year, while DASH ranked second.

The delistings are mainly due to regulatory pressure in various jurisdictions over the past few years, the report said. Crypto trading platforms with less regulatory scrutiny, such as Poloniex and Yobit, have captured some of the trading volume of privacy coins. The two exchanges currently account for nearly 40% of the trading volume of top privacy coins, compared to just 18% in 2021.
