BSV was „not up to standard“

Binance withdrew from the list and stopped trading all BSV trading pairs in April 2019. The crypto exchange explained that it regularly ensured that the digital assets listed on its platform met a „high level of quality“ and that the decision to remove BSV „better protects all [its] users“.

However, the de-listing came after Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao expressed outrage to the self-styled Satoshi, Craig Wright, for issuing a $5,000 reward for doxing against Hodlnaut, the Twitter user behind the Lightning Torch initiative.

In response, Zhao tweeted: „Craig Wright is not Satoshi. If this shit happens again, we’ll delete you from the list!“

A few days later, Binance announced that it would no longer offer operations at BSV.
