• The introduction of Binance Alpha has been the most significant development in the exchange listing landscape in 1H 2025. Within 7 months, it evolved from trading in Binance wallet only to a 2.0 version that funnels Binance exchange liquidity directly to DEX trading, which was then followed by the introduction of a trading incentive program Alpha points.
• Binance Alpha listings placed a greater emphasis on tokens with an FDV under $100 million, a segment traditionally overlooked by Binance. With the launch of 2.0 and Alpha points, tokens listed through this program have been outperforming listing events on other exchanges, including Binance’s own, in both price and trading volumes.
• The growth of Alpha created competition for other exchanges. Mid-size exchanges have seen fewer listing events, and Alpha listings might be filling this void. Binance’s own listings have also been affected: the first 30-day trading volume for large FDV tokens shrunk by 20% on Binance, while this metric grew on Upbit, OKX, and Bybit. Additionally, Binance-listed tokens showed a below-average price performance compared to other exchanges.
