This has been a long time coming. Bittrex just announced that it will delist privacy coin pairs like ZEC, XMR and DASH. And my guess is that this is just a start and this trend will probably spread amongst all the highly regulated exchanges later. It's not even up to these exchanges if they want to keep those pairs or not. While privacy itself is wanted by nearly every company out there, we have to remember that anonymity is not same thing as privacy. Privacy in the context of human rights and business are things that are not going anywhere, but they have to be complying with the legal framework. Coins that have anonymity are making impossible to exchanges work within any regulatory framework and FATF and other organisations must be breathing on their necks constantly. So this will keep happening and even more in the future imho. What do you think? Will this trend continue and will exchanges keep delisting privacy coins? Will privacy coins have future?
