Binance has added Stacks, Across Protocol and Lisk to its Monitoring Tag list, placing STX, ACX and LSK under heightened exchange review from July 24, 2026. The designation applies to tokens that Binance considers more volatile or exposed to greater risk than other listed assets.
The change does not represent an immediate delisting or suspension of trading services. Spot trading remains available, while deposits and withdrawals continue unless Binance announces a separate restriction.
Sharing an update on the recent Binance Tag.
TL;DR: This is a standard process for hardfork updates, and we're working with Binance to make sure they have all the relevant pieces of information for their review.

Binance Reviews Liquidity, Development and Security
Binance will assess trading volume, liquidity, development activity and network stability during its periodic reviews. Other factors include project communication, responses to due-diligence requests, smart contract security and material changes to token supply or economic design.
The exchange did not identify a specific exploit, governance failure or compliance breach affecting all three assets. The tag instead signals that ACX, LSK and STX may require closer monitoring to determine whether they continue meeting Binance’s listing standards.
Users seeking to trade Monitoring Tag assets must complete Binance’s risk-awareness quiz every 90 days and accept the applicable terms. Warning banners and tag labels are also displayed on the relevant Spot and Margin trading pages.
The designation creates a conditional layer around future access to Binance liquidity. Projects that address the exchange’s concerns may have the tag removed, while continued failure to meet review standards can eventually lead to delisting.
Stacks Links Its Review to SIP-045
The Stacks Endowment said STX entered the review process during discussions about the SIP-045 network upgrade. Binance requested additional information about the issuance changes connected to Bitcoin Staking, and the Endowment said it submitted the full emission schedule and supporting data.
SIP-045 introduces PoX-5 Bitcoin Staking and restores the coinbase reward to 1,000 STX per Bitcoin block. The accepted proposal reverses the provisional reduction to 500 STX introduced in April 2026 while adding a model that pairs self-custodied BTC timelocks with locked STX.
The Endowment characterized the Monitoring Tag as a procedural consequence of Binance’s internal review rather than a network-security failure. It said the upgrade does not affect exchange-held balances, the STX token contract or the operational handling of deposits and withdrawals.
Stacks expects another Binance committee review within several weeks, but removal of the tag is not guaranteed. The Endowment said it will continue answering follow-up questions and provide another update after the next review cycle.
ACX, LSK and STX remain fully listed but exposed to greater centralized-exchange scrutiny. The next important developments will be Binance’s review decisions, project-level responses and whether liquidity remains stable while the Monitoring Tags are active.
