Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has tightened its rules for nonfungible token listings. Starting from Feb. 2, 2023, Binance will delist all NFTs listed before Oct. 2, 2022, and with an average daily trading volume lower than $1,000 between Nov. 1, 2022, and Jan. 31, 2023. In addition, after Jan. 21, 2023, NFT artists can only mint up to five digital collectables per day.
Binance NFT requires sellers to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification and have at least two followers before listing on its platform. In addition to the revised rules, Binance said it would forthwith “periodically review” NFT listings that do not “meet its standards” and recommend them for delisting.
Binance posted, ”Users can report NFTs or collections that may be in violation of Binance NFT minting rules and terms of service. Our due diligence team will actively review reports of fraud or rule violations and take the appropriate actions.”
All digital collectibles not meeting the two requirements will be automatically delisted by Feb. 02, 2023. The delisted assets will still appear in users’ wallets afterward. Binance has come under intense scrutiny by regulators since last year over allegations of lax KYC measures and its role in processing illicit funds, which the exchange has denied.
