Binance will add StormX (STMX) and TROY (TROY) coins to its watchlist by 2025. At the same time, it will remove Convex Finance (CVX) and Sun (SUN) coins from its watchlist. It will also remove the Seed tag from Arkham (ARKM), Blur (BLUR), Jito (JTO), and Celestia (TIA).
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance will add new labels and update existing labels for some altcoins in line with its latest assessments. With these updates, StormX (STMX) and TROY (TROY) coins will be included in the watchlist as of 2025, while Convex Finance (CVX) and Sun (SUN) coins will be removed from the watchlist. In addition, Binance will remove the Seed labels of Arkham (ARKM), Blur (BLUR), Jito (JTO), and Celestia (TIA).
Binance monitors coins with watch tags more carefully. These coins are assets that carry higher volatility and risk than other coins. Coins with watch tags are regularly reviewed by Binance, and this tag means that the coin is at risk of being removed from the platform. Users are required to perform a risk test on Binance Spot or Binance Margin platforms every 90 days before trading coins with watch tags. The purpose of this test is to ensure that users are aware of the potential risks before trading high-risk coins.
The seed tag usually indicates that the project is in its early stages. In order to trade coins with the seed tag, users must also pass a risk test every 90 days. The seed tag is an indicator that Binance takes into account when evaluating the sustainability and long-term success of a project.
Binance takes into account many factors when deciding whether to watch or seed. These include the dedication of the project team, the quality of development activities, trading volume, network security, smart contract stability, transparency levels of projects, and their sensitivity to the platform. Binance regularly reviews altcoins and updates the labels when necessary, taking these factors into account.
Binance informed its users about the impact of this decision on other services, and announced that there will be no other service changes other than altcoins with tracking and Seed tags.
