Binance's most drastic measure in this crackdown on listing channels isn't just publishing a blacklist of intermediaries, but rather that any project attempting to use a third-party intermediary will be immediately blacklisted. This is a direct, collective punishment, striking at the heart of the problem. Those who wield this tactic understand strategic maneuvering. Previously, no matter how much Binance emphasized the prohibition of intermediaries or how many blacklists they published, there were always those who claimed it was all for show, while simultaneously showing off their close relationship with CZ (Cheng Zhang). Almost all intermediaries promised to work first and pay only if successful. Intermediaries and projects shared a similar "let's try it" mentality, thinking that failure meant no loss. Now, however, the collective punishment is severe; even a failed listing could result in being blacklisted.
Furthermore, according to rumors, Upbit already used this collective punishment model a few months ago, eliminating a number of intermediaries, and even terminating and blacklisting projects currently in the process.
