Community-Driven Listings With Strong Participation

The three newly listed tokens emerged as winners from a massive community participation campaign. According to Binance, over 523,000 votes were cast by more than 424,000 participants. After filtering out spam and invalid entries, Binance conducted a thorough review based on a multi-factor evaluation system that included:

Trading demand, especially in Binance Futures and Alpha markets
Organic community support (excluding bots and inorganic votes)
Fundamental token analysis and historical performance
Compliance and regulatory checks
Risk assessment and tokenomics integrity
Past incidents of unethical or fraudulent behavior

In particular, while ONDO placed first in both Alpha volume and vote volume, BIGTIME excelled in Futures volume rankings, and VIRTUAL garnered community support, positioning itself above its trading volume rank.

What Are ONDO, BIGTIME and VIRTUAL?

Ondo (ONDO)

Ondo is a decentralized investment banking protocol focused on democratizing access to structured yield strategies through on-chain financial products. Its smart contract address is 0xfaba6f8e4a5e8ab82f62fe7c39859fa577269be3 and it’s built on Ethereum. The project has been in the spotlight for its tokenized real-world assets — from tokenized US Treasuries to yield-accruing stablecoin alternatives.

Big Time (BIGTIME)

Big Time is a free-to-play multiplayer RPG that mixes fast-action combat with player-driven economies and NFT-based cosmetics. It has already begun forming a committed fanbase, and its ecosystem allows for both trading and ownership of the game’s digital assets. The smart contract deployed on Ethereum is 0x64Bc2cA1Be492bE7185FAA2c8835d9b824c8a194.

Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)

VIRTUAL is a Web3 AI protocol creating plug-and-play gaming AIs co-created and co-owned by communities. It’s a speculative yet exciting entry on the list, given the intersection of AI and gaming. The VIRTUAL system is functional on Ethereum (0x44ff8620b8cA30902395A7bD3F2407e1A091BF73) as well as Base (0x0b3e328455c4059EEb9e3f84b5543F74E24e7E1b), a truly multi-chain initiative.

Seed Tags and Risk Considerations

The three tokens are labelled Seed Tags, which is Binance’s label for “early stage, high-risk, and high-volatility” assets. Such tags flag creative but risky projects. Accordingly, Binance has a quiz every 90 days that users must pass in order to continue trading Seed Tag tokens, a process meant to ensure that traders understand the risks.

While ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL have cleared due diligence, Binance cautioned that their market volatility could be much higher than for established tokens. Traders are advised to be cautious, do their own research (DYOR), and follow risk management.

Market Reactions Following the Listing Announcement

Also, in a move that lowers entry barriers, Binance will charge 0 BNB as the listing fee. The move follows similar zero-fee listings from past campaigns with the intention of promoting early-stage projects.

After the announcement, initial reactions in the markets were striking:

ONDO was up 5% to $0.8819
VIRTUAL jumped 15% to $0.5319
BIGTIME gained the most, rising 25% to $0.07553

While widespread excitement pervades markets, veteran traders are softening expectations. Recent cases like upcoming listing BABY on Binance have seen a brief spike and subsequent price correction during and after its listing, respectively—implying any gains are likely to be short-lived without continued demand or bullish market sentiment.

Binance Alpha Tokens: A New Chapter Begins

To facilitate this change, Binance Alpha users holding ONDO, BIGTIME, or VIRTUAL are advised to transfer tokens to their Spot wallets. Purchases via Alpha are now disabled, but users can still sell or transfer their tokens to the Spot wallet.

The move marks the latest evolution of Binance’s approach to token discovery, where Binance Alpha serves as a channel through which potential projects can gain full exposure to the Spot Market if they are so demanded by the community and meet compliance requirements.

What’s Next?

Tokens that didn’t make the cut this round, like UXLINK, GRASS, MORPHO, and ATH, are still being evaluated and could be added in upcoming rounds. Binance suggested that performance, user demand, and project integrity will continue to be priority metrics in considering ongoing asset listings.

Binance has continued to emphasize community-driven decision-making during the second round, providing users a larger say in the tokens making their way on to the world’s leading crypto exchange. The buzz around these listings is palpable, but traders are urged to approach the volatility responsibly.
