Binance has announced that it will move Shiba Inu (SHIB), 1INCH, Trust Wallet Token (TWT), and Frax Share (FXS) out of its Innovation Zone. The tokens will be available to users from April 18. Binance periodically reviews projects listed in the Innovation Zone, taking into consideration factors such as the project team's commitment, development activity level and quality, trading volume and liquidity, network stability and safety, and community size and communication. Binance also checks for project responsiveness to periodic due diligence requests, contributions to the crypto community, and evidence of unethical practices and negligence. Shiba Inu has seen significant trading volume, development activity, and community participation after the release of Shibarium Beta "Puppynet" last month, with the number of wallets holding SHIB and collaborations with Shibarium on the rise.

Binance has announced that it will delist TRX from its US division, causing a negative reaction in the market for the cryptocurrency. The delisting will only affect TRX's availability on Binance US, while it will remain accessible via the international version. The exact reason for the delisting was not revealed, but Binance listed several possible reasons, including changes in a digital asset's risk profile, unethical or fraudulent activity, and regulatory issues. TRX's price fell by as much as 8%, and its money flow indicator demonstrated a sudden shift in the last two days, highlighting the liquidity outflows. Despite the dip, Tron maintained healthy development activity, which may contribute to a confidence boost. However, there is still some risk of more downside if Tron's current concerns expand outside the US and into the global arena.
