Binance will add Monitoring Tags to ACT, BLUR, PIVX and QKC after its June 18 review, signaling higher risk and new quiz requirements for traders.
Binance will add Monitoring Tags to four tokens, ACT, BLUR, PIVX and QKC, as part of its June 18, 2026 review, flagging them as higher-risk assets and introducing new trading requirements for users who hold or trade them.
What Binance Changed in Its June 18 Review
Binance’s verified official account confirmed that it will add Monitoring Tags to Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT), Blur (BLUR), PIVX (PIVX) and QuarkChain (QKC). The exchange framed the move as part of its regular token review process.
What to know:
- The four tokens are receiving a higher-risk label, not being delisted.
- All four were already listed on Binance; the new tags add trading restrictions, not a removal of access.
All four tagged tokens were sharply lower in the 24 hours around the announcement. BLUR, the largest by market cap at roughly $45.2 million, fell 12.97% over 24 hours. ACT dropped roughly 10.4%, PIVX fell about 15.1%, and QKC declined around 10.2%.
The announcement landed during a period of broad market stress. The crypto Fear & Greed Index sat at 15, deep in Extreme Fear territory, underscoring the risk-off environment surrounding the review.
The tagging of ACT is notable given the recent wave of interest in AI-themed crypto projects. Tokens tied to artificial intelligence narratives, similar to initiatives like projects earning verified badges on major networks, have drawn both speculative attention and heightened scrutiny from exchanges.
What a Monitoring Tag Means for Traders
Binance said tokens carrying a Monitoring Tag have notably higher volatility and risk than other listed tokens. These assets are subject to close monitoring and regular reviews by the exchange.
The practical impact on traders is direct: users must pass a quiz every 90 days on Binance Spot and/or Binance Margin and accept the platform’s Terms of Use before they can trade any Monitoring Tag token. Trading access remains available to users who meet these requirements.
Binance Academy lists several criteria used in its review process, including development activity, trading volume and liquidity, network stability, public communication, regulatory compliance, tokenomics changes, and community sentiment. Tokens that fail to improve on these criteria risk eventual removal from the platform.
The quiz requirement is a detail that some competitor coverage of the June 18 review omitted. For traders holding positions in ACT, BLUR, PIVX or QKC, the 90-day cycle means recurring verification, not a one-time acknowledgment.
As digital asset infrastructure continues to mature, with events like the World Datacentre Summit Malaysia 2026 highlighting growth in the broader ecosystem, exchange-level risk controls like Monitoring Tags are becoming a more common compliance tool.
What Binance Said Will Not Change
Binance stated that other services tied to the four tokens would not be affected by the Monitoring Tag addition. The exchange noted the tags would be updated shortly after publication of the announcement.
The distinction matters: a Monitoring Tag is not a delisting notice or a suspension of withdrawals. It is a risk label that restricts how easily users can trade the asset, while keeping broader platform services intact.
Binance’s review criteria explicitly include compliance with new regulatory requirements, signaling that future reviews could expand or contract the Monitoring Tag list depending on how each project responds. Infrastructure developments across the data center and blockchain sectors, including upcoming gatherings such as the World Datacentre Summit India 2026, reflect the growing institutional focus on the frameworks that underpin digital asset markets.
With the broader crypto market in Extreme Fear and all four tagged tokens posting double-digit losses, the next scheduled review will be closely watched by holders of these assets.
