Privacy tokens dash , monero and ZCash (ZCH) slumped as much as 10% as prominent crypto exchange OKX said Friday it will delist their trading pairs on Jan. 5.

“Based on feedback from users and the OKX Token Delisting / Hiding Guideline, we will be delisting several trading pairs that do not fulfill our listing criteria,” OKX wrote on its website.

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.
