- Binance adds ACA, D, DATA, and FLOW to its Monitoring Tag list effective January 2, 2026.
- Monitoring Tag assets face higher scrutiny, risk warnings, and potential delisting if standards slip.
- Trading tagged tokens requires recurring risk quizzes and acceptance of updated terms.
Binance has expanded its Monitoring Tag list to include four additional cryptocurrencies, Acala (ACA), DAR Open Network (D), Streamr (DATA), and Flow (FLOW), with the change taking effect on January 2, 2026. The update follows a recent internal review by Binance and places the newly tagged tokens under heightened scrutiny due to elevated risk factors identified by the exchange.
The Monitoring Tag is applied to digital assets that Binance classifies as having higher volatility and risk compared with other listed tokens. Assets carrying this designation are subject to frequent evaluations and may face removal from the platform if they fail to satisfy Binance’s ongoing listing requirements. The four tokens added, Acala, DAR Open Network, Streamr, and Flow, will now appear with risk warning labels across Binance’s trading interfaces.
Trading Access Requires Periodic Risk Acknowledgment
To trade tokens marked with the Monitoring Tag, users must complete a mandatory risk awareness quiz every 90 days on Binance Spot and, where applicable, Binance Margin. Additionally, users must accept the platform’s updated Terms of Use before accessing these markets. Binance has stated that the quizzes are designed to ensure traders understand the risks associated with higher-volatility assets.
Risk warning banners will be displayed on the relevant trading pages and within the Markets Overview section. The Monitoring Tag status will be visible directly on the spot and margin trading interfaces for each affected token.
Criteria Used in Binance Reviews
Binance stated that Monitoring Tag decisions are based on a range of qualitative and quantitative factors reviewed on a recurring basis. These include the project team’s ongoing commitment, development activity levels, trading volume, and liquidity conditions. The exchange also evaluates network security, resilience against attacks, and transparency in public communications.
Additional considerations include responsiveness to Binance’s due diligence requests, compliance with emerging regulatory requirements, and any material changes to token supply or tokenomics. Binance also monitors changes in ownership structure, shifts in core team composition, and broader community sentiment when assessing whether a token should retain or lose its Monitoring Tag.
Binance clarified that other services related to the four tokens will remain unaffected by the update to the Monitoring Tag. The exchange also noted that Monitoring Tag indicators would be updated shortly after the announcement was published.
