Binance Places Five Altcoins on Watchlist, Signaling Increased Scrutiny

On December 1, 2025, Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, expanded its advanced watchlist by adding five new tokens: CHESS (Tranchess), DENT (Dent), DF (dForce), GHST (Aavegotchi), and SXP (Swipe). The exchange emphasized that these assets carry higher volatility and risk, and they will undergo regular, detailed reviews to determine if they continue to meet listing criteria.

Binance evaluates multiple factors during these reviews, including project team commitment, development activity quality and frequency, trading volume and liquidity, network security, community engagement, and transparency. Other considerations are changes in regulatory requirements, token supply increases, tokenomics adjustments, team structure changes, and findings of unethical behavior. Tokens that fail to meet standards during the monitoring period face potential delisting, which could impact their prices and liquidity.

This move is part of Binance's strategy to enhance market security and protect users by providing clear risk warnings. The exchange advises traders to heed these labels and conduct due diligence before engaging with watchlisted tokens.
