Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced that it is expanding its risk warning system to include three additional digital assets. Effective July 24, 2026, Across Protocol (ACX), Lisk (LSK), and Stacks (STX) will be added to the exchange's Monitoring Tag system.

According to Binance, the Monitoring Tag is applied to tokens that exhibit comparatively higher volatility and risk relative to other assets on the platform. Projects carrying this tag are subject to regular reviews and may face delisting if they no longer meet the exchange's listing standards.

The exchange clarified that the addition of the tag does not indicate an immediate delisting. Instead, the listed projects will continue to be closely monitored. Binance noted that the Monitoring Tag can be removed following periodic evaluations, and additional tokens may be added to the list if deemed necessary.

The three tokens span distinct segments of the crypto ecosystem. Across Protocol operates as a cross-chain bridge enabling asset transfers between networks. Lisk, originally launched as an independent Layer 1 blockchain, migrated to operate as an Ethereum Layer 2 network. Stacks functions as a smart-contract layer built on top of Bitcoin, enabling decentralized applications that settle on the Bitcoin network. Their inclusion on the Monitoring Tag list reflects that tokens from a range of technical architectures can be flagged under Binance's risk framework.

Evaluation Criteria

Binance outlined several factors considered during its review process:

• The project team's commitment to ongoing development activities
• The level and quality of software development work
• Trading volume and liquidity
• Network security and resilience against attacks
• Stability of smart contracts
• Quality of communication with the public

Additional considerations include project teams' responsiveness to Binance's periodic audit requests, significant changes in token supply, updates to tokenomics, any suspected unethical or fraudulent activity, and each project's overall contributions to the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.

User Requirements

Users who wish to trade tokens designated with the Monitoring Tag must complete a risk awareness quiz and periodically approve relevant risk disclosures. Binance stated that this requirement is designed to help investors make more informed decisions when engaging with higher-risk assets.
