The action follows Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre, the proponents behind BSV, issuing legal notices to those denouncing Wright as a fraud—and not Satoshi Nakamoto.
The Delisting ProcessAccording to the statement from Binance, all trading pairs for Bitcoin SV will be removed from the exchange on 22nd Apr. 2019 at 10:00 AM UTC. It was clarified that all trading orders involving Bitcoin SV trading pairs will be automatically removed after trading in each trading pair is halted.

Bitcoin SV is down 16 percent, dropping from $71 to $59 a coin within the last 24-hours. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Cash is up 10 percent, increasing from $288 to $316 within the same timeframe.
BSV 7-day chart on Cryptowat.ch Reasons for Delisting Bitcoin SVAccording to the press release, the decision to delist Bitcoin SV stems from the project’s failure to meet the exchange’s high standards for listed digital assets. “Changes in the industry” was also cited as a potential reason for delisting.
Binance conducts periodic reviews to ensure that all listed digital assets continue to meet the exchange’s standards. The determining factors for delisting a coin or token were included in the statement from Binance. The factors were listed as:
Commitment of team to project Level and quality of development activity Network / smart contract stability Level of public communication Responsiveness to our periodic due diligence requests Evidence of unethical/fraudulent conduct Contribution to a healthy and sustainable crypto ecosystem Binance CEO Issued a Warning Prior to the AnnouncementThe announcement comes four days after Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the CEO of Binance, threatened to delist Bitcoin SV from the cryptocurrency exchange.

This was in reaction to Craig Wright’s threats of legal action against critics such as Hodlonaut, the founder of Lightning Network Trust Chain; Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, and Peter McCormack, a podcaster. Furthermore, In a widely condemned move, Craig Wright, a computer scientist and the leader of the Bitcoin SV team, posted a $5,000 bounty for anyone who reveals the true identity of Hodlonaut.
Following Peter McCormack’s light-hearted response to the threats, CZ put his support behind the podcaster and followed up his comments by adding that Wright is indeed a fraud.
Master piece! You have my full support, Peter.
To be clear, I don't choose sides on technology. We let market do that. I am against fraud, such as lying to be someone. As such, it is my strong opinion that:
Craig Wright is fraud. https://t.co/f9ihSD6Pr3
