KuCoin has decided to delist Polyhedra’s ZK token amidst a conflict over the use of the ‘ZK’ ticker symbol. Both Polyhedra and zkSync have claimed the ticker code for their tokens, leading to a dispute. Bybit, another platform, had previously listed Polyhedra’s ZK token but changed the ticker symbol to avoid confusion with zkSync. Polyhedra expressed their disappointment and criticized zkSync for taking their rightful ticker names. The community is now speculating that KuCoin may be preparing to list zkSync and replace Polyhedra’s ZK token with a new code.
