The question now is... which exchanges are going to follow?
All! The writing was on the wall before Banksy!

Also, quite ironic, Zen tried to ditch their marketing as a monero replacement and privacy coin a few months ago
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/06/28/horizen-scraps-privacy-coin-moniker-amid-regulatory-scrutiny/seems like nobody cared about the rebranding.
There are enough alternative options for trading privacy coins, Bisq is decentralized with very high volume for monero,
Yeah, juts like the "Tis but a scratch" in Monty Python.
Very high volume meaning like of the 2% depth wall on Binance in a week? The more gates are closed the harder is to hide in the few that remain, plus it brings a lot of problems such as volatility, when you have only a few points where the price is decided it's becoming easier to manipulate it.
You can't have increased decentralization when you run out of options where to spend and buy/liquidate.
And it's going to get even worse, privacy coins are the first, I wonder what's the next target will be.
