Both spot and futures trading of the tokens – dash , decred , , monero , , zcash and – was paused last Tuesday. The delisting of these tokens is scheduled to start at 08:00 UTC on Sept 19.
The deposit service for DASH, DCR, FIRO, XMR, XVG, ZEC and ZEN will cease at 08:00 UTC, on Monday, but the withdrawal service continues to function, Huobi said.
Huobi said the move was “in compliance with the latest financial regulations.”
Representatives from Huobi didn't immediately respond to requests for additional comment.
Privacy coins are cryptocurrencies that preserve anonymity by obscuring the flow of money across their networks. They make it difficult to work out who sent what to whom – which is useful if you don’t want anyone snooping on your financial activity.
On Aug. 8, the U.S. Treasury Department barred customers in the U.S. from using Tornado Cash, a decentralized mixer program that enables private transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, sparking questions around privacy protocols and privacy coins generally and causing increased scrutiny on such tokens.
A gauge for privacy tokens showed the sector lost 0.42% in the past 24 hours even as broader crypto markets gained on Monday.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
