So what else is new right? Yet I actually almost missed the full implications of this. But to make sure everyone's on the same page, let's elaborate on what happened first.
Once upon a time Binance listed cryptos based on certain criteria. The less honorable detail here is that everyone was forced to pay I think something like 100K in US dollars before their coin would be listed on Binance. The more honorable detail is that this didn't mean one could simply buy their way onto Binance. If you e.g. had highly dubious tokenomics or basically were just a scam/rug-pull waiting to happen, Binance would keep you out. Safemoon is the first that comes to mind when talking about this. They tried everything, and I do mean everything for well over a year to get listed there but Binance under CZ never gave them the time of day.


I know you can't see the Tweet they're replying to in the last image, it was CZ explaining he's not in charge of listing but still asked which crypto should be listed next.
But getting back OT, Binance even went as far to delist once paying and listed coins if they noticed lack of development or suspicious activity within the team/blockchain, but the actual direct reason of the delisting was almost never shared with the outside world.

Fast forward a few years and forget about team dedication, sincere and trustworthy or actual working projects because the key criteria for delisting now is government disapproval. Half way in writing this I actually realized I already partially covered this topic, so to quote myself in the conclusion and prediction regarding which direction a compromised Binance is heading:
Binance will not only become a π©pit for government pre-approved coins, it will I think eventually lose its once strict policy and soon enough let useless sus meme coins on their platform after losing significant portion of us use case appreciating crypto-peeps.
Waves was also one of the recently delisted coins. Now many will say that they (Sasha) had it coming with that whole Neutrino/USDN debacle and all the negative press it received, but what few know is that in the background over the past one year the Waves team had been working continuously and abiding by Binance's every demand to prevent delisting. Yet last week without any recent developments within Waves or any explanation from Binance it just suddenly happened. And considering both the old and new ''Terra Luna'' coins are still listed on Binance, one can't help but to have certain suspicions.π€
So I guess this topic is closed for now and the only question that remains is not junk tokens asking ''when Binance'', but me asking Binance when Safemoon. Well, maybe not literally ''Safemoon'' since the whole team has already been charged for laundering and fraud. But the question is basically when Binance will start listing more and more useless junk-joke coins that will fill the volume gap left by actual working and vital projects like TORN or XMR and perhaps some day soon even UNI. Yes you heard it here first because the way this is going, there will be no CEX safe haven for any actual working crypto out there.
