Crypto Community Criticizes Potential Zcash Delisting on Binance

Binance has faced criticism for including Zcash in a delisting vote. Alongside it, tokens JASMY and FTT are also on the list.

Zooko Wilcox, the founder of the privacy project, addressed the exchange’s CEO, Richard Teng:

“Are you seriously considering delisting Zcash? What kind of world do you want to build for future generations — a prosperous one or an oppressive one, like in ‘Black Mirror’?”

Binance, you’re considering delisting Zcash!?

What kind of world are you creating? Do you want your children to grow up in peace and prosperity, or a Black Mirror episode?@_RichardTeng, Privacy is normal! Support privacy by supporting Zcash, like Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken!

Co-founder of StarkWare Eli Ben-Sasson and CTO of Ledger Charles Guillemet emphasized the importance of privacy, noting the coin’s role in protecting personal data.

Cosmos founder Ethan Buchman called privacy a “fundamental human right.”

Privacy is normal. Better yet a fundamental human right.@binance @_RichardTeng don’t delist ZCash https://t.co/La3Wa73QxL

At the time of writing, Zcash is trading at $31.41 (+0.3% over the day), according to CoinGecko. The token’s market capitalization is approximately $503 million.

Back in January 2024, Binance classified ZEC as a high-risk crypto asset.
