Binance extends Monitoring Tag to ACT, BLUR, PIVX, QKC on June 18

Binance has added four more tokens to its Monitoring Tag category, flagging ACT, BLUR, PIVX, and QKC as assets carrying elevated risk. The change takes effect on June 18, 2026.

What the Monitoring Tag actually means

Binance’s Monitoring Tag system exists to single out tokens that the exchange considers more volatile or risky compared to its broader listings. When a token gets tagged, users see a warning banner on trading interfaces before they can proceed with transactions.

In some cases, traders are required to complete additional verification steps, including quizzes designed to confirm they understand the risks they’re taking on.

The tag doesn’t trigger an immediate delisting. But it does put projects on notice: meet Binance’s ongoing listing criteria, or face potential removal down the line.

This isn’t an isolated event. Binance ran a similar extension on May 22, 2026, when it added ALCX, COOKIE, DODO, EPIC, HEI, HFT, STORJ, SYN, and TLM to the Monitoring Tag category. That’s 13 tokens flagged in less than a month.

The four tokens under the microscope

ACT is an AI protocol token currently trading near $0.01 with a market cap hovering around $9 to $10 million.

BLUR is the native token of the Blur NFT marketplace, which rose to prominence as a competitor to OpenSea during the 2022-2023 NFT boom.

PIVX is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency with a market cap of approximately $5.4 million. Privacy coins as a category have faced increasing headwinds from regulatory pressure worldwide, with several exchanges in various jurisdictions choosing to delist them preemptively.

QKC represents QuarkChain, a sharded blockchain protocol.

Why investors should pay attention

No immediate delistings have been linked to the June 18 update. For holders of any of these four tokens, the practical question is straightforward: does the underlying project have enough momentum, development activity, and community support to satisfy Binance’s criteria going forward?
