Technical analysis for Bytecoin is currently unavailable as the currency will be delisted from Binance along with various other cryptocurrencies like ChatCoin, Iconomi, Triggers etc. These events have the power to completely derail any growth or bullish movement expected in the cryptocurrency market.
Binance arrived at the decision of delisting the four cryptocurrencies post reiterating its policy of maintaining high-quality standards. These cryptos were not at par with the requirements of the exchange, along with an assessment of many other factors which has influenced the decision to delist the cryptocurrencies mentioned above
Binance will be delisting and halting the trading of these cryptocurrencies from Oct 12th 2018 onwards, and individuals holding these cryptocurrencies can withdraw these coins from the platform by Nov 12th 2018. Failing to do so would result in the coins being lost forever.
The reaction to this news was in line with expectations, while many celebrating this decision and wondering why Binance ever listed these ‘shitcoins’ to begin with. Bytecoin received the most heat, as the cryptocurrency was already in the news for all the wrong reasons even before it even got listed. Furthermore, there were speculations of Binance receiving millions of dollars for listing this cryptocurrency on its platform.
The creators of these ‘shitcoins’ would have not minded paying such high sums of money for getting their cryptocurrencies listed. By getting listed on the Binance its value would instantly rise, allowing the creators to gain returns on their investment while the investors suffer and absorb all the losses. As expected, Binance decided to come clean regarding its fees and the delisting of these ‘shitcoins’ simply can imply that the company and CZ are merely trying to cover up their roles and wash their hands clean of any wrongdoing. Only time will tell if Bytecoin can survive the tide or have its named carved up in the crypto wall of shame.
