Binance will ban Litecoin from its website (LTC) transactions sent through the most recent MimbleWimble (MWEB) upgrade from its exchange, noting that such transactions would now result in the loss of the related LTC. Binance will not delist LTC completely, as opposed to other exchanges who have made the decision to do so. Among other changes made, the most recent Litecoin MWEB Update introduced privacy features. Binance’s decision to end support for these transactions comes as global crypto regulation remains an ever-present focal point in the industry.
