Updated: Jan 02 2026- Expansion of Monitored Assets: Binance announced the addition of four new crypto assets to its Watch Tag list effective January 2, 2026, including Acala Token (ACA), DAR Open Network (D), Streamr (DATA), and Flow (FLOW), which will enhance the platform's scrutiny of these high-volatility assets.
- Risk Notification Mechanism: Tokens with a Watch Tag will carry higher volatility and risk, and Binance requires users to accept periodic risk alerts before trading, ensuring investors are fully aware of the associated risks and enhancing market transparency.
- Enhanced Compliance Reviews: Binance will conduct regular detailed reviews of Watch Tag assets, evaluating criteria such as liquidity, transaction volume, project progress, and team activities, aiming to improve overall market quality and protect investor interests.
- Market Regulation Trends: Given the increasing regulatory pressures and market volatility expected in 2025 and 2026, Binance's actions are viewed by market analysts as a strategy to tighten oversight of risky assets, with other major exchanges likely to adopt similar measures to maintain market stability.
