The Crypto.com team announced on Monday that they are removing 15 different cryptocurrencies from their earn reward program. As the bear market continues, many more will likely be removed in the coming months.
Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Tezos (XTZ), and FLOW are among those being removed, but Crypto.com added Zilliqa (ZIL), Fantom (FTM), and NEAR to the list.
Crypto.com is making some changes to the reward rates for five different stablecoins- TGBP, TAUD , TCAD & USDP ( Paxos USD). These digital assets are pegged respectively to British Pound, Australian dollar, Canadian, and US dollars. The reward rates for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon remain unchanged.
However, the company didn’t elaborate on why it removed those particular tokens in its announcement.

Many Twitter users expressed their disappointment at the loss of Shiba Inu and Dogecoin rewards. Others said that the exchange’s interest rates were so low they came close to traditional banks. “Not worth locking up any funds!” One Bitcoin holder said.
Many people were disappointed by the news, but others argued that Crypto.com is making positive strides toward long-term sustainability and will be around for years to come.
