Should I keep my Coins on Binance?

There is no official statement on what will happen to ICON (ICX) ERC20 Tokens that are on binance. Most likely the exchanges will take care of the token swap.

How does the Swap Process take place?

Luckily the swap process will take several months. That will give everyone enough time to switch out there ERC20 tokens.
