Binance announced that, following recent assessments, it has added several altcoins to its "Monitoring Tag" list, meaning these projects will be monitored more closely. Following the announcement, the price of these altcoins experienced a decline.
Binance added 5 altcoins to its watchlist
Binance reassessed the risk level for some altcoins and added five more tokens to its "Monitoring Tag" list as of April 30, 2026. NFPrompt (NFP), Nomina (NOM), Marlin (POND), QuickSwap (QUICK), and Viction (VIC) are now among the projects that will be monitored more closely. This decision follows recent reviews of both market performance and project fundamentals.
The Monitoring Tag is a system Binance uses to flag assets with high volatility and relative risk. Tokens with this tag are regularly reviewed and risk being delisted from the platform if they fail to meet certain criteria. Therefore, for projects included in this list, the process serves as a warning and is considered the first step towards a potential delisting. Immediately following the decision, significant price pullbacks were observed. NFP lost approximately 20.18% of its value in the last 24 hours, falling to $0.0127. Similarly, NOM dropped 19.57% to around $0.00279. POND saw a 17.64% loss, stabilizing at $0.00208. QUICK experienced a more limited decline of 3.29%, while VIC fell 18.99% to $0.045. This shows that investors reacted quickly to the risk signal.
Binance's evaluation process highlights multiple criteria. The commitment of project teams, the intensity and quality of development activities, trading volume, and liquidity levels are among the primary factors. In addition, network security, the stability of smart contracts, the communication of teams with the public, and the platform's responses to information requests are also included in the scope of the review. Findings of unethical behavior or suspicion of negligence are considered a direct negative factor.
There are also additional requirements on the user side for tokens under the Monitoring Tag. Users who want to trade these assets must complete a risk awareness test every 90 days. They are also required to re-approve Binance's terms of use. With these steps, the platform aims to make investors act more consciously when trading high-risk assets.
On the other hand, this labeling does not mean that the tokens in question are removed from all services. Many services, especially spot and margin trading, remain accessible. However, the pressure on market perception generally has a negative impact on prices in the short term. Recent price movements confirm this trend.
