According to Binance, the spike in activity has been fueled by Binance Alpha—a platform integrated into Binance Wallet that allows users to interact with early-stage projects and potentially benefit from airdrops. “The rise of Binance Wallet signals more than just volume — it reflects a shift in how users want to engage with Web3, Winson Liu,” Global Lead of Binance Wallet. For one, Binance Alpha enables users to discover tokens before they are listed on the Binance exchange. While this listing is not guaranteed, Binance points out that 18 tokens already made it from Binance Alpha to the exchange.

Binance noted that since the beginning of May, Binance Alpha has distributed eight airdrops. Based on day-one closing prices, their cumulative value totaled $1,076 per user. Still, the platform’s high rewards have generated some controversy. Critics have argued that Binance Alpha users are disproportionately rewarded at the expense of other early holders. Despite this, Binance appears to be using competitive incentives to drive adoption, with expectations that reward levels may decrease once the wallet secures a dominant position.
