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.
