I always warned against Privacy Coins - Govts will never accept (Patreon)
Content
Governments hate privacy coins like Monero because they make it difficult to track financial transactions. This can make it easier for criminals to launder money and evade taxes. Additionally, privacy coins can fund terrorist activities and other illegal activities.
Here are some specific reasons why governments might hate privacy coins:
- Money laundering: Criminals can use privacy coins to launder money by mixing it with legitimate transactions. This makes it difficult for law enforcement to track the source of the money.
- Tax evasion: Privacy coins can be used to evade taxes by making it difficult for governments to track who is sending and receiving money.
- Terrorism: Terrorist organizations can use privacy coins to fund their operations. This makes it difficult for governments to track and stop terrorist financing.
COINS IN Q
12 distinct privacy coins from these markets. Among the privacy coins set to be delisted are dash (DASH), verge (XVG), beam (BEAM), monero (XMR), navcoin (NAV), firo (FIRO), horizen (ZEN), secret (SCRT), zcash (ZEC), pivx (PIVX), decred (DCR), and mobilecoin (MOB).
THE DETAILS
- Binance is set to remove 12 privacy coins, including dash, verge, monero, and zcash, from its markets in France, Spain, Italy, and Poland.
- The delisting is attributed to local regulatory requirements, and users in France will no longer be able to buy or sell these privacy coins on Binance's platform starting from June 26, 2023.
- Privacy coins experienced a decline in value against the U.S. dollar, but the top five privacy coins based on market capitalization show positive performance in the seven-day statistics.
- Delistings of privacy coins have occurred before due to regulatory concerns, with exchanges in South Korea and Japan previously removing them from their platforms.
- Binance's decision to delist privacy tokens follows its withdrawal from the Canadian market and challenges with a domestic payment provider in Australian markets.
