Why Do Some Centralized Exchanges ‘Delist’ Privacy Coins?

Centralized exchanges delist privacy coins primarily due to regulatory pressure. Governments and financial regulators, particularly those focused on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (CFT), view privacy coins as high-risk.

Exchanges must comply with strict 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) and transaction monitoring rules. The anonymity features of privacy coins make compliance with these rules extremely difficult, leading to delisting.
