Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, has expanded its monitoring tag list to include nine additional tokens, while also listing two new altcoins with seed tags.
The tokens ALCX (Alchemix), COOKIE (Cookie DAO), DODO, EPIC, HEI, HFT (Hashflow), STORJ, SYN (Synapse), and TLM (Alien Worlds) are now under closer scrutiny due to significantly higher volatility and risk. The monitoring tag requires users to acknowledge a risk warning before trading, and these tokens face a real possibility of delisting if they fail to meet Binance's ongoing listing criteria.
Concurrently, Binance listed Genius Terminal (GENIUS) and OpenGradient (OPG) with seed tags, launching spot trading pairs against USDT, USDC, and TRY at 11:00 UTC on May 22, 2026.
The announcement triggered immediate market reactions, with ALCX dropping approximately 8% within hours, while DODO and COOKIE experienced similar downward pressure. Traders often avoid assets under monitoring tags due to reduced liquidity and heightened uncertainty.
Binance conducts periodic reviews of these tokens, and the addition to the monitoring list is a clear warning that their future on the platform is at stake.
