Key Changes Announced
Binance has unveiled a set of updates to its token tagging system following its periodic review. The changes include:
- Wanchain (WAN) will be added to the Monitoring Tag list.
- GoPlus Security (GPS) and MovieBloc (MBL) will be removed from the Monitoring Tag list.
- Berachain (BERA), BIO Protocol (BIO), ZKsync (ZK), and LayerZero (ZRO) will have their Seed Tags removed.
These changes are effective as of October 9, 2025, per Binance’s announcement.
What the Tags Mean & Why It Matters
Monitoring Tag
Tokens assigned a Monitoring Tag are considered to have higher volatility or risk relative to typical listed assets. Binance uses this tag as an early warning — tokens with this label are under closer scrutiny and may face delisting if they fail to meet listing standards. To trade Monitoring-tagged tokens on Spot or Margin, users must pass a risk quiz every 90 days and accept the relevant Terms of Use.
Seed Tag
The Seed Tag marks tokens in their early stages — often newer projects with less established track records, lower liquidity, or development risk. The removal of a Seed Tag suggests Binance considers the project to have matured or reduced risk profile sufficiently to lift that early-stage label.
By altering these tags, Binance signals its evolving assessment of project risk, liquidity, development activity, and overall health.
Impact on Affected Tokens & Market Sentiment
- Wanchain (WAN): With the new Monitoring Tag, WAN now trails under greater scrutiny. This change may affect trader sentiment, liquidity, and risk perception of the token.
- GoPlus Security (GPS) & MovieBloc (MBL): Their removal from the Monitoring list could be perceived as a positive signal of improved stability, better compliance or project metrics.
- BERA, BIO, ZK, ZRO: Dropping the Seed Tag removes the “early-stage risk” badge from these tokens, potentially improving investor confidence and removing some barriers for trading or adoption.
For token holders and prospective traders, these tag changes could influence behavior — trading volume, price, and perceived reliability may shift dynamically as the market reacts.
Why Binance Adjusts Tags
Binance conducts regular project reviews and reclassifications based on several criteria, including:
- Team commitment and responsiveness
- Quality and consistency of development activity
- Trading volume & liquidity metrics
- Network or smart contract stability and security
- Public communication, transparency, and community feedback
- Any evidence of unethical conduct or deviation from roadmap
The tag system aims to improve transparency, guide users on risk levels, and maintain Binance’s listing quality.
Binance also states that other services related to those tokens (e.g. staking, derivatives, etc.) will not be affected by the tag changes.
What to Watch & What Users Should Do
- Liquidity & price reactions: Monitor how liquidity, spreads, and price volatility change for the affected tokens in the hours and days following the tag updates.
- Developer response: The affected projects may issue statements about their roadmap, risk mitigation, or improvements that led to tag removals.
- Delisting risk: Tokens with the Monitoring tag (e.g. WAN) should be watched5 closely — if negative signals accumulate, delisting could be a possibility.
- User awareness & compliance: Traders of Monitoring-tagged tokens must complete the quiz periodically and stay informed of listing criteria and risks.
Bottom Line
Binance’s token tag update reflects its shifting risk assessment for a set of projects in its listed universe. Adding WAN to the Monitoring list signals heightened caution, while removing Monitoring tags for GPS and MBL and dropping Seed tags for BERA, BIO, ZK, ZRO suggests maturing confidence in those projects. Token holders and traders should stay alert to liquidity, price, and project developments in response to these reclassifications.
