While OKX did not explicitly say it was banning the tokens because they offer enhanced privacy for transactions, many of those listed fall into that category.
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 – and are not popular with regulators.
UPDATE (Dec. 29, 09:55 UTC): Adds description of privacy coins in last paragraph.
