The exchange announced in a statement on Thursday that it will add ANT, FIRO, KP3R, MDX, MOB, REEF, VAI, XMR, ZEC, and ZEN to the list that will be monitored.

Firo Co-Founder Has a More Positive Perspective

One of those who received a tag was Firo, already mentioned above. However, according to the company’s co-founder, the tag was not a devastating blow to the company. The co-founder even implied that they were open to working with Binance.

The monitoring tag has been placed on FIRO along with other privacy coins due to increased regulatory pressure, including from MiCA, recent initiatives from U.S. regulators and compliance to Binance’s settlement with the U.S. DoJ,

However, we have been in active discussions with Binance on this matter since September 2023 and thus far our proposal to implement Exchange Addresses has been received positively. We welcome the active dialogue with Binance and their openness to working together to find a mutually beneficial solution and are confident that Exchange Addresses balances exchange compliance requirements without sacrificing user privacy.
