#EUPrivacyCoinBan

In May 2023, Binance announced plans to delist 12 privacy coins, including Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and Dash (DASH), for users in France, Italy, Spain, and Poland, citing compliance with EU regulations requiring transaction monitoring . However, after receiving feedback from the community and various projects, Binance reversed this decision in June 2023, allowing continued trading of several privacy coins such as ZEC, DASH, and PIVX.

Despite this reversal, certain coins like Monero (XMR), Beam (BEAM), MobileCoin (MOB), Firo (FIRO), and Horizen (ZEN) remained restricted due to their enhanced privacy features . Furthermore, in February 2024, Binance proceeded to delist Monero globally, citing that it no longer met the exchange’s standards.
