Binance Monitoring Tag on a coin you hold: how close is delisting?

Not close in any way you can measure. The Monitoring Tag is a risk flag Binance puts on some listed tokens. In Binance's words, these tokens show notably higher volatility and risk than other listed tokens and are at risk of no longer meeting its listing criteria and being delisted. "At risk of" is the operative phrase. A tag notice contains no trading cutoff, no deposit cutoff and no withdrawal deadline, and its notes say other services related to the tokens are not affected.

So on the day the tag appears, you can still deposit the coin, withdraw it and sell it on Spot. Two things change: you have to pass a short quiz before trading it, and the trading page shows a risk banner.

The notice that comes with dates is a different one, titled "Binance Will Delist …". Whether it ever follows, and when, the tag does not say.

Where to see which coins carry the Monitoring Tag

The quickest place is a dedicated list under Markets. In English it is headed "Monitoring Tokens by Market Capitalization", with Binance's own definition in grey just beneath it. Other language versions of the same page translate the label differently, which matters if you search the announcement centre in another language.

The tag also shows up on the Spot and Margin trading pages and on the Markets overview. Those were the three places Binance named when it introduced the tags in July 2023, along with a risk warning banner on every token that carries a Monitoring Tag or a Seed Tag.

The 90-day quiz before you can trade a tagged token

Every tag notice repeats the same rule: to trade a token with a Monitoring Tag (or a Seed Tag) on Binance Spot or Margin, you need to pass the matching quiz every 90 days and accept the Terms of Use. Binance's stated reason is to make sure users understand the risks before they trade.

That rule bites holders harder than new buyers. Suppose you bought a token months ago and it has just been tagged. The day you decide to sell, the first thing the trading page shows you is a quiz. Normally that costs a few minutes. If a delisting notice is already out and the trading cutoff is close, with the order book thinning by the hour, those are minutes you would rather not spend. Take the quiz now while nothing is urgent, and again when the 90 days run out.

The quiz gates trading only. The notices do not attach it to deposits or withdrawals, and they state that other services are unaffected.

What sits between a Monitoring Tag and a delisting notice

Binance's own review, on no fixed timetable. The notices say Binance conducts periodic project reviews and adds or removes Monitoring Tags and Seed Tags according to its latest findings. A few things you can see from the notices themselves:

• The list moves in batches. The title format is "Binance Will Extend the Monitoring Tag to Include …", with editions on 4 October 2023 and on 4 January, 3 April, 1 July and 3 October 2024, and more since then at no fixed interval. None of them says in advance when the next one will come.
• Tags come off too. The 1 July 2024 edition added the tag to 11 tokens, including BAL and CTXC, and removed it from MLN and ZEN in the same notice.
• In March and April 2025 Binance ran two "Vote to Delist" rounds. Candidates came only from tokens carrying the Monitoring Tag, and voters needed a verified account holding at least 0.01 BNB. Binance said the vote would not be the sole deciding factor and that delisting timelines follow its own procedures. Whether later rounds run, and on what terms, is for the notice of the day to say.

Side by side, the three kinds of notice look like this:

Only the last one starts a clock. What each of its dates switches off is laid out in Binance delisting notice dates: what each one shuts off.

Your coin was just tagged: what you can set up now

1. Check whether any of it sits in Earn, margin or futures

   The tag leaves those positions alone. If a delisting does follow, though, the cutoffs for Earn redemptions, margin borrowing and futures usually land before Spot trading stops, and some positions get handled automatically at a price you do not choose. Knowing now what is where makes the ordering much faster later. How each one is treated is covered in Binance delisting notice: what happens to Earn, margin and futures positions.

2. Find the exit before you need it

   Open the Binance withdrawal page for the coin and note which networks it supports and the minimum per withdrawal. Then open the deposit page wherever you would send it and confirm the same network is open on that side. There may be one network that matches, or none, and that is far better learned early. The withdrawal network cheat sheet helps you match network names across platforms.

3. Know where the next notice will land

   Tag updates, votes and delistings are all published in Binance's announcement centre. Another signal you can watch yourself: the coin's trading pairs being removed one after another until one or two are left. How to read those notices is in Binance removed a trading pair: is the coin being delisted?

Should you move the coin off Binance right away? On the tag alone, no. A withdrawal costs a fee, and moving means choosing a network and waiting for confirmations, all to dodge a notice that has not been published and may never be. Tags have been lifted before. Whether to keep holding the coin is a judgement about the coin itself. If you do decide to leave, going while the order book is still normal and nobody is rushing is calmer than selling alongside everyone else after a delisting notice.
