Binance Blog published a new article, announcing a $100 million equity investment in Circle Internet Group, Inc. and the renewal of their strategic partnership for a new five-year term. The updated agreement is centered on expanding USDC across Binance's global platform, with particular attention to emerging markets. Under the arrangement, Binance will lead distribution and adoption efforts, while Circle will continue providing the infrastructure services that support holding and using USDC. Binance said it purchased $100 million worth of Circle Class A common stock through a private placement at a purchase price reflecting a five percent discount to the market price of CRCL prior to closing. The move builds on the companies' existing relationship and adds a direct equity stake to their broader collaboration around the stablecoin.
Binance and Circle said the renewed partnership reflects a long-term commitment to increasing access to a stable, trusted digital dollar. Binance co-CEO Richard Teng said Circle has earned its place as one of the most credible issuers in the world spanning USDC, Arc and the infrastructure reshaping how value moves across borders. He added that the $100 million investment and five-year commitment represent long-duration conviction and support a more inclusive, transparent, and compliant digital economy. Circle co-founder, chairman and CEO Jeremy Allaire said Binance has built one of the largest and most dynamic platforms in the world for using digital currency, creating the internet's largest financial super app, and becoming the most widely used wallets in the world for dollar stablecoins. He said the companies see opportunities to use USDC to expand dollar access, support savings and investment with digital asset products, and reach people and businesses throughout global emerging markets. Circle described its platform as one of the world's leading internet financial platform companies, with services including the world's largest stablecoin network anchored by USDC, Circle Payments Network for global money movement, and Arc, an enterprise-grade blockchain designed to become the economic operating system for the internet.

According to the announcement from Binance, Binance Wallet will launch the AEON Trading Competition on Binance Alpha, with eligible users able to trade AEON (AEON) in Binance Wallet (Keyless) or via Binance Alpha to receive token rewards. The competition is open to any user eligible to trade Binance Alpha tokens, and rankings will be based on total AEON purchase volume during the Promotion Period. The top 2,000 users by purchase volume will share 1,820,000 AEON tokens equally, which equals 910 AEON per user. The first Promotion Period runs from 2026-09-22 13:00 (UTC) to 2026-09-29 13:00 (UTC), and the second runs from 2026-09-29 13:00 (UTC) to 2026-10-06 13:00 (UTC). Binance said the competition will place greater emphasis on early trading and consistent participation through two multipliers: the Early Bird Boost Multiplier and the Rising Trader Boost Multiplier. The Early Bird Boost Multiplier gives higher weight to earlier trades, with daily multipliers set at 2.0x for the first two trading days, 1.8x for days three and four, 1.5x for day five, 1.3x for day six, and 1.0x for day seven across both Promotion Periods. The Rising Trader Boost Multiplier applies a 1.2x boost to eligible users who have won rewards in fewer than 3 previous Binance Wallet Alpha trading competitions, subject to a boost cap. If both multipliers apply, effective trading volume will be calculated using the stated formula, and final rankings will be based on total effective trading volume during the Promotion Period.

According to the announcement from Binance, the exchange will update the Cross Margin Borrow and Transfer-out collateral ratio, the Portfolio Margin collateral ratio, and the Tiered Collateral Ratio for Portfolio Margin Pro for several assets from 2026-09-25 06:00 (UTC). The update is expected to be completed within approximately 30 minutes. Under Cross Margin and Portfolio Margin, ENA and BCH will each move from 50% to 60%, while GAS, NEWT, ORCA, SFP, and UMA will each change from 30% to 10%. For 1MBABYDOGE and KAVA, the collateral ratio will increase from 10% to 30%. Binance said the Cross Margin Borrow and Transfer-out collateral ratio update will affect only the amount that can be borrowed or transferred out under Cross Margin. It also noted that collateral ratio and leverage changes under Portfolio Margin will affect the Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio, or uniMMR, and users should monitor uniMMR closely to reduce the risk of liquidation or losses tied to changes in collateral ratio and leverage.
For Portfolio Margin Pro, Binance will also revise ENA’s tiered collateral structure. The announcement shows that the rank floor, cap, and collateral ratio will change across multiple tiers, including 80 to 200,000 at 100%, 200,000 to 400,000 at 80%, 400,000 to 800,000 at 70%, 800,000 to 1,000,000 at 40%, and 1,000,000 to 99,999,999,999 at 20%. Additional tiers listed in the update include 70 to 800,000 at 100%, 800,000 to 1,200,000 at 95%, 1,200,000 to 2,000,000 at 75%, and 2,000,000 to 99,999,999,999 at 50%. Binance said the changes are part of its margin risk management framework and apply to the assets and margin products specified in the notice.

Binance announced on X that it has outlined the distribution arrangement for 4Stock holding-related rewards under Binance Alpha. For Binance Wallet holders, rewards will be automatically distributed by Four Meme in the form of BNC4 to users' Binance Wallet on-chain addresses according to its distribution rules. For Alpha 2.0 holders on CEX, Four Meme rewards will be sent uniformly to the Binance Alpha treasury contract address, after which Binance Alpha will calculate token holdings through daily random snapshots and distribute rewards on a monthly basis. Eligible users will receive the previous month's rewards at the beginning of the following month in their spot accounts. To count as valid daily holdings, a user must hold more than 10,000 4Stock on a single day. A user's monthly valid holdings are defined as the sum of each day's valid holdings during that month. Monthly rewards will be allocated based on the proportion of a user's valid holdings to the total valid holdings of all eligible users for that token. 4Stock rewards will be distributed in BNCB, and for reward calculation purposes, 1 BNCB will be treated as equal to 1 BNC4.
Eligibility also depends on applicable product and jurisdiction restrictions, including whether a user is eligible to access bStocks on Binance. Binance said the reward distribution is set by the token deployer through the token contract and executed using the infrastructure of Four Meme, a standard token issuance platform. Binance said it is only assisting with distribution for eligible holders within the platform. The notice also said the content does not constitute an offer or solicitation for any financial product, and users in restricted jurisdictions are not allowed to participate.

According to the announcement from Binance, the exchange will remove and cease trading on seven spot trading pairs as part of its periodic review of listed markets. The affected pairs are AIXBT/USDC, DOLO/USDC, ENJ/USDC, HUMA/USDC, SXT/USDC, TNSR/USDC and TURTLE/USDC. The delisting is scheduled for 2026-09-25 03:00 (UTC). Binance said the review process is intended to protect users and maintain a high-quality trading market, and that selected pairs may be removed for reasons including poor liquidity and trading volume. The notice also states that the delisting of a spot trading pair does not affect the availability of the tokens on Binance Spot, and users may still trade the base and quote assets through other available trading pairs on the platform.
Binance also said it will terminate Spot Trading Bots services for the same spot trading pairs at 2026-09-25 03:00 (UTC) where applicable. Users were advised to update or cancel their Spot Trading Bots before the service ends to avoid potential losses. The announcement did not change the tokens’ broader availability on Binance Spot, but it confirmed that the specific pair-based trading and bot services tied to the listed markets will stop at the scheduled time. The notice was issued as a general Binance Exchange Notice and applies only to the spot trading pairs named in the announcement.

Binance Wallet announced on X that security firms recently reported the iOS app FomoPeek, versions 1.1 to 1.2, contained malicious code capable of stealing sensitive information, including wallet private keys stored locally on users’ devices. The report said the incident led to asset losses for some users and drew broad community attention, prompting related user inquiries to Binance. Binance said that, at this time, it has not identified any related stolen funds flowing into its platform, and it has not received reports of Binance users suffering asset losses as a result of the incident. The company said safeguarding user assets remains its top priority and that it will continue monitoring relevant fund movements through on-chain monitoring and other risk control measures.
Binance Wallet said that if related funds are later found to involve Binance, or if there are indications that such funds may flow into Binance’s platform or services, it will actively support relevant investigations and response efforts. The company also said it will continue working closely with security partners such as SlowMist to assist in tracking related risks and help protect user assets within its capabilities. Binance added that it will keep monitoring developments tied to the incident. The statement ended with the phrase “Stay SAFU.”

The announcement outlines an install, follow, configure, and dry-run workflow for users who want to run copy trading strategies on autopilot. The first step is to install the on-chain copy trading Skill from the Binance Skills Hub. Users are then instructed to follow smart money addresses or subscribe to Binance Wallet's exclusive smart money signals. After that, they can configure their preferred chain, budget, position size, and take-profit and stop-loss rules. The final step is to dry-run the full pipeline, refine the strategy using real data, and then switch to live trading. Binance Wallet said every position opens with stop-loss and take-profit placed on-chain automatically. The announcement did not include additional details beyond the setup process and the described automation features.

Eligible users will receive dividends in the form of SOXSB, MUUB, TQQQB, and SQQQB bStocks, respectively. The net cash dividend, after applicable withholding taxes, fees, costs, and other deductions, will be reinvested into additional units or fractions of the same underlying security. On-chain holders of SOXSB, MUUB, TQQQB, and SQQQB will receive the bStock dividends through a multiplier adjustment. Trading of SOXSB/USDT, MUUB/USDT, TQQQB/USDT, and SQQQB/USDT will not be affected. Binance said it will handle the technical requirements for users involved in the event, and dividends earned from assets held in other accounts will be credited to the Spot Account, including Savings Account and Margin Account holdings.
Eligibility and service changes are tied to specific record date snapshots and suspension times. Users with SOXSB and MUUB holdings on the record date snapshot at 2026-09-22 00:00 (UTC) will be eligible for the dividend distribution, while users with TQQQB and SQQQB holdings on the record date snapshot at 2026-09-23 00:00 (UTC) will be eligible.

For TQQQB and SQQQB, the token conversion service for 1:1 swaps between TQQQ/TQQQB and SQQQ/SQQQB will be suspended at 2026-09-22 23:30 (UTC), and deposits and withdrawals of TQQQB and SQQQB will be suspended then as well. Binance Convert will pause the conversion of SOXSB and MUUB and all associated pairs at 2026-09-21 23:30 (UTC), and it will pause the conversion of TQQQB and SQQQB and all associated pairs at 2026-09-22 23:30 (UTC). Deposits, withdrawals, and token conversion services will resume when the distribution is completed.

According to the announcement from Binance, bStocks margin collateral eligibility has been extended to all Cross Margin and Portfolio Margin accounts, expanding collateral options and capital flexibility for users. The update applies to accounts that use bStocks as collateral and introduces additional risk controls for Regular, VIP 1 and VIP 2 accounts. These users must pass a suitability assessment questionnaire before using bStocks as collateral or engaging in bStocks Margin trading when that feature eventually becomes available. Binance said accounts that exceed certain risk thresholds may face restrictions designed to manage exposure and reduce liquidation risk. The measures may include limiting additional bStocks transfers into the account, limiting the purchase or borrowing of Medium-liquidity and Low-liquidity assets except for repaying existing liabilities, allowing transfer-in of suitable assets to help mitigate liquidation risk, limiting new Futures positions in Portfolio Margin accounts with reduce-only permitted, and pausing auto top-up for bStocks, Medium-liquidity and Low-liquidity assets. High-liquidity assets remain unrestricted throughout, while accounts not holding bStocks as collateral are unaffected.
Binance said restrictions will be lifted automatically once an account returns to a safe risk level. To avoid triggering the controls, users are advised to keep Medium-liquidity and Low-liquidity exposure moderate and maintain sufficient High-liquidity assets. VIP 3 and above users are exempt from these risk controls, and any VIP tier changes will automatically apply or remove the corresponding measures. Binance also said it reserves the right to review and adjust relevant ratios, rules and risk control measures from time to time. The announcement directs users to the bStocks Margin Collateral Risk Controls Guide for details on asset liquidity classification, risk assessment, restrictions and the lifting process, and to the Frequently Asked Questions on Binance bStocks as Collateral Assets for common questions about using bStocks as margin collateral.
