Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced a new risk assessment for some altcoins traded on its platform. According to the exchange's statement, as of March 13, 2026, eight different tokens will be included in the "Monitoring Tag" category. These include Automata Network (ATA), Arena-Z (A2Z), FIO Protocol (FIO), Gitcoin (GTC), Neutron (NTRN), Phoenix (PHB), BENQI (QI), and Radiant Capital (RDNT), all of which will be closely monitored.
Binance's "Monitoring Tag" system is a warning system used to indicate that certain crypto assets on the platform carry higher risk and volatility compared to others. Tokens marked with this tag are regularly evaluated based on criteria such as price volatility and project development. The exchange also emphasizes that assets in this category risk delisting in the future if they do not meet certain conditions. The announcement stated that tokens included in the Monitoring Tag will undergo more frequent and comprehensive reviews by Binance. These reviews cover many factors, from the project's technical development to team activities. This aims to both inform investors about potential risks and maintain listing standards on the platform.
While the Monitoring Tag application only functions as a warning mechanism, there are some additional conditions for Binance users to trade these assets. Accordingly, users must complete a risk information test on the Binance Spot or Binance Margin platforms before trading these tokens. This test must be renewed every 90 days, and users must re-confirm the platform's terms of use.
According to Binance, the main purpose of this application is to ensure that investors are aware of the risks before trading high-risk assets. The exchange also announced that tokens carrying the Monitoring Tag will display a special risk warning on their trading pages and in the overall market overview.
Which altcoin projects receive the "monitoring tag"?
The company stated that it will continue to regularly review the performance of projects under the Monitoring Tag. Various criteria are considered during these evaluations. These include the commitment of the project team, the level and quality of developer activities, and technical indicators such as trading volume and market liquidity. In addition, network security, the robustness of the smart contract infrastructure, the level of public communication of the project, and the quality of responses to periodic reviews conducted by Binance also play an important role in the evaluation process. If a project is associated with unethical behavior, negligence, or suspicion of fraud, this can directly affect the evaluation result.
Binance also states that the contribution to the crypto ecosystem is an important criterion. The extent to which projects contribute to a sustainable and healthy blockchain ecosystem is among the decisive factors in listing decisions. On the other hand, the exchange stated that the addition of the Monitoring Tag will not directly affect other services related to these tokens. In other words, existing trading pairs or other services on the platform will continue as normal for these assets. However, it is stated that new evaluations may be made in the future depending on the performance of these tokens.
