Binance has applied the monitoring tag to six additional tokens, most notably including Movement Labs’ MOVE. The token was previously embroiled in a market maker scandal and the project has since relaunched under a new name. According to a recent notice, the crypto exchange has decided to apply the monitoring tag to a number of tokens, including Movement Labs’ native token MOVE (MOVE).
