Binance’s proposal to potentially delist Zcash has drawn criticism from industry leaders, reigniting concerns over the future of privacy tokens.

What’s the Scoop?

Binance's Poll: Binance opened a vote to decide which tokens would be delisted, including privacy-focused Zcash (ZEC).
Community Outrage: Key industry figures like Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox and others expressed concern over the decision.
Privacy Token Stigma: Privacy tokens like Zcash face regulatory scrutiny, with Binance's move reflecting broader global concerns.

Zcash is privacy technology that protects human rights. I hope @binance does not delist it. Zcash is one of the most important and underrated cryptos in the world right now. https://t.co/fSlsz2yeis
