Bittrex delisted Monero along with ZCash and Dash which was a weird decision sparking concerns about a regulator crackdown on privacy coins.
Monero is known to have the best privacy and we have also read previously about the IRS hiring Chainalysis to find a way to trace the transactions.
Can Bittrex know something others don't or acted before anyone else for their own reasons? Will Monero be delisted by more exchanges? Price drops and I'll be waiting to buy.
Bittrex has always had shit volume that was driven by arbitrage and nothing else.
They have major problems with regulators and are trying to show what good little boys they are.
That may be the case here. Bittrex has already lost its luster among crypto users. But let's see if Binance.US will follow on this move. If not, bittrex is just deciding on their own even without any threat from regulatory bodies. XMR has a lot of users, so I don't think it will go down just like what XRP is experiencing right now.
I remember bittrex delisted bitshares (in fear of listing security tokens just because bts has shares in its name :d)
But in the other hand it is only matter of time when governments will fight against privacy crypto!
