Crypto Miners

Gold and silver are now trading like crypto on @Binance.

Binance has rolled out USDT-settled perpetual futures for gold (XAUUSDT) and silver (XAGUSDT), making it possible to trade precious metals 24/7 using familiar crypto derivatives mechanics. The contracts operate under Binance’s regulated entity and settle fully in $USDT.

It’s a notable crossover. TradFi commodities plugged into the perpetual futures model mean traders can hedge or gain exposure to gold and silver outside traditional market hours, without leaving crypto rails.

Feels like an early signal of where things are heading as commodities and crypto infrastructure continue to converge.

Meme tokens launch insanely fast, but most of the time you’re left staring at just a name, ticker, and logo.

That’s the gap Binance Wallet is trying to fix with a new update to Meme Rush.

Meme Rush now shows AI-generated token stories that explain what a new meme token likely references, where it comes from, and why it might be trending, using public token metadata and social signals. All of this appears directly inside the wallet, within seconds of a token being indexed.

Instead of opening X, Telegram, explorers, and random threads, you get quick, readable context in one place. It’s not telling you what to buy or where price goes, just helping you understand what you’re actually looking at.

The stories are designed to stay neutral. No price predictions, no hype, no guarantees. Think of it as a fast starting point, not a source of truth. You still need to check the contract, liquidity, and distribution yourself.

Multi-chain support is already live, including BNB Smart Chain, and it’s built to scale with how fast meme tokens launch today.

If you actively track new meme tokens, this saves time and reduces guesswork, especially during peak launches.

Binance’s End-of-Year Co-CEO letter from Yi He and Richard Teng is worth reading.

It’s not a recap. It’s a snapshot of scale.

In 2025 alone:
• $34T in total trading volume
• $162.8B in user assets verified via Proof of Reserves
• Nearly 50% of global $BTC & $ETH trading volume
• 300M+ users worldwide, roughly 1 in every 27 people globally

What stands out is how trust and execution have converged. Retail and institutions are trading in the same venue, liquidity holds during volatility, and security outcomes are measured in results, not slogans.

At this scale, Binance isn’t just an exchange anymore. It’s become a reference point for how global crypto infrastructure operates.

#Binance just rolled out its 2025 Year-in-Review, and it’s a nice way to look back at how the year in crypto actually played out.

The #2025WithBinance report pulls together your own milestones and moments from 2025. Less about flexing numbers, more about seeing the journey, the progress, and the lessons along the way.

If it’s available in your region, worth checking out and sharing a highlight. Always interesting to see how different everyone’s year in crypto looked.

For anyone who liked the ABC’s of Crypto book when it first came out, @Binance has now put out a digital version as well.

Same illustrated A-to-Z format, but easier to share and access online. Feels more practical in this form, especially for beginners or younger learners who’d rather read on a screen than pick up a physical copy.

Nice to see Binance continuing to lean into simple education alongside everything else.

#Binance has launched a USD1 Booster Program on Earn, offering up to 20% APR on Flexible Simple Earn for $USD1, running from Dec 24 to late Jan, with a 50,000 $USD1 cap per user.

$USD1 is a fiat backed stablecoin integrated into Binance Earn, giving users another option to earn yield while keeping funds flexible. As with any newer trading pairs, liquidity dynamics are still evolving, so understanding the product mechanics matters alongside the headline APR.

#Binance is pushing another BNB Smart Chain trading competition on Binance Alpha, and it’s a fairly sizable one.

The event runs Dec 23, 16:00 UTC → Jan 6, 16:00 UTC, with $600K in rewards split across $CYS , $ZKP , and $RAVE . Rewards are shared among roughly 6.6k–6.8k top volume traders per token pool, distributed through verified Binance Wallets.

A couple of mechanics worth noting: limit orders count 4× toward volume, while wash trading and Alpha-to-Alpha pairs are excluded.

Feels like a continuation of @Binance’s broader push to boost activity on BSC assets, similar to earlier competitions that ran with even larger pools. Worth understanding the rules before jumping in.

Noticed #Binance  quietly added a Recurring Send option to Binance Pay.

It lets users schedule automatic crypto transfers to other @Binance accounts, things like daily or monthly sends. Feels aimed at practical use cases such as subscriptions, allowances, or regular payments, with reminders before each send and balance checks built in.

It’s limited to Binance users and a set of supported assets for now, which keeps it pretty contained, but also makes the experience straightforward and fast.

Small feature, but interesting timing. Automation like this makes crypto feel closer to everyday banking, especially in a market where people care more about usability than speculation.

A new Kaiko analysis on how Binance reached 300 million users is worth a look.

The report walks through Binance’s 8+ year journey and shows how liquidity became a core driver of growth. Deep order books, tight spreads, and consistent execution across market cycles helped trading activity naturally consolidate on the platform.

Kaiko’s data shows Binance consistently leading centralized exchanges in spot liquidity and depth, maintaining around 60% share of CEX spot volume. On December 1, 2025 alone, Binance processed roughly $20B in spot volume and 61.9M trades, highlighting both scale and infrastructure throughput.

What stands out is resilience. Even during market stress, order books remained functional, spreads normalized quickly, and liquidity recovered without prolonged disruption. With 24/7 liquidity and no real “dead hours”, especially on USDT pairs, execution quality stays reliable for both retail traders and institutions.

A good reminder that liquidity isn’t just a headline metric. It directly shapes execution quality and real trading outcomes. The Kaiko report breaks this down clearly.

#Binance has reached an important milestone in responsible AI adoption.

Binance has earned the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the global standard for responsible AI governance, reinforcing its commitment to ethical, transparent, and secure AI deployment across its operations.

The certification covers the entire AI lifecycle, from design and deployment to continuous monitoring, and aligns with emerging regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act. This comprehensive approach strengthens the safety, reliability, and accountability of AI systems as their role in crypto continues to expand.

By integrating ISO/IEC 42001 with existing standards like ISO 27001 (security) and ISO 27701 (privacy), Binance has built a unified governance framework that supports scalable innovation while maintaining strong risk management and compliance.

As AI becomes more embedded in Web3 infrastructure, trust and transparency will matter more than ever. This achievement positions Binance at the forefront of responsible AI practices in the crypto industry.

The data around @Binance adoption keeps getting stronger.

According to @CryptoQuant Quicktake , Binance recorded $1.17T in capital inflows, a 31% YoY increase, leading all exchanges by a wide margin. With 300M users on the platform, this reinforces Binance’s role as the primary gateway where new capital enters the crypto market.

Derivatives activity adds important context. Perpetual futures volume reached $24.6T, up from $21.2T in 2024 and more than 2x the closest competitor, alongside 49.6B perpetual trades, a 33% YoY increase. That scale points to strong network effects and sustained trader engagement, not short-term spikes.

Spot markets show the same pattern. Binance spot volume is already at $6.82T, nearly 5x larger than the next exchange. Deep liquidity continues to attract users, reinforcing price efficiency and healthier market structure across the ecosystem.

When capital inflows, spot depth, and derivatives activity all scale together, it highlights why Binance increasingly functions as a global liquidity hub rather than just another exchange.

All of this is backed by public CryptoQuant data. Worth following the numbers rather than the noise.

#Binance rolls out Web3 Loan inside Binance Wallet

Binance has launched Web3 Loan directly within @Binance Wallet , allowing users to borrow crypto on-chain without leaving the wallet or giving up self-custody.

What’s new
• On-chain borrowing inside Binance Wallet (Web3 Earn tab)
• Use existing assets as collateral (starting with @VenusProtocol on @BNBChain)
• No need to connect external dApps or sell holdings
• Designed to ease CeFi users into DeFi lending
• Launch promo includes a 400,000 USDT reward pool for eligible users

This is a notable step toward making DeFi lending more accessible at scale, blending self-custody with a familiar Binance UX and lower-fee BNB Chain infrastructure.

U.S. launches “Tech Force” with major tech and crypto firms involved

The White House has announced the U.S. Tech Force, a new initiative aimed at recruiting around 1,000 early-career technologists for two-year roles across federal agencies. The focus areas include AI, cybersecurity, and core government software modernization.

Key details:
• Launched in mid-December 2025
• Involves 30+ private-sector partners
• Participating firms include Coinbase, Robinhood, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Apple, Microsoft, and xAI
• Private companies will support talent sourcing, mentorship, and technical expertise, not policy decisions
• Goal is to address long-standing federal tech skill gaps and modernize government systems

Why this matters:
• Signals a shift from prior regulatory tension toward direct collaboration with crypto and tech firms
• Suggests crypto is increasingly viewed as part of the U.S. national technology strategy, not just a financial market
• Arrives amid strong market sentiment, with Bitcoin trading near $100,000, reinforcing views that pressure on the crypto sector may be easing

The initiative has been covered by major outlets including CNN, The New York Times, Decrypt, Cointelegraph, and other federal tech publications. Early industry reactions have been largely positive, framing the move as a constructive step for both policy alignment and broader adoption.

Ondo Finance is bringing tokenized U.S. stocks & ETFs to Solana in early 2026.

The expansion covers @Ondo Finance Global Markets, currently the largest on-chain equities platform with 100+ tokenized stocks & ETFs, backed 1:1 by real shares held at regulated broker-dealers and priced via Chainlink oracles. Trading is designed for 24/7 access, fast settlement, and near-zero slippage, with Nasdaq/NYSE liquidity in the background.

Ondo has issued roughly $365M in tokenized RWAs so far, making it the leading issuer in the sector. The @Solana Official move follows recent launches on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with cross-chain interoperability powered by LayerZero.

Alongside this, Ondo is seeding $200M into SWEEP, a tokenized on-chain liquidity fund built with State Street and Galaxy, using PayPal’s $PYUSD and anchored by Ondo’s Treasury product $OUSG. SWEEP is expected to launch on Solana first, targeting institutional flows.

Access to tokenized equities remains primarily non-U.S. due to regulations, though recent EU approvals expand availability. Community response has been largely bullish on RWAs and Solana’s role, with some debate around how this impacts the $ONDO token longer term.

Wall Street assets, increasingly moving onchain.

SWIFT announced plans to add a blockchain-based shared ledger to its infrastructure to support 24/7 cross-border payments using tokenized assets and smart contracts.

The initiative, revealed at Sibos 2025, is being developed with Consensys and 30+ global banks including JPMorgan, HSBC, Citi, and BNP Paribas.

@swiftcommunity stressed the system is token-agnostic and interoperability-focused, designed to work across existing banking rails, public and private blockchains, stablecoins, and future CBDCs.

Despite community speculation, there is no official mention or confirmation of Ripple, XRP, or the XRP Ledger in SWIFT’s announcement or supporting documents.

This marks a shift from messaging-only rails toward a broader digital finance infrastructure, but integrations with specific crypto networks remain unannounced.

#Litecoin Included in Bitwise’s Top 10 Crypto Index ETF

$LTC is officially part of the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF ($BITW), which began trading on NYSE Arca on Dec 9, 2025.

What this means:
• $BITW tracks the top 10 cryptocurrencies by screened market cap
•
@Litecoin holds ~0.26% of the fund
• Major weights remain $BTC (~74%) and $ETH (~15%)
• The fund rebalances monthly and applies liquidity, custody, and regulatory screens

Context that matters:
• Smaller assets like $LTC sit within a capped ~10% allocation bucket
• Inclusion boosts institutional visibility and accessibility, not dominance
• Exposure is indirect, with performance driven mainly by BTC and ETH

A modest allocation, but a clear signal of institutional recognition for Litecoin within a regulated, index-based product.

A lot of people still misunderstand how Binance listings work 👇

We reviewed data from 20+ recent @binance listings and the pattern is very clear. Most allocation goes back to users and market stability, not to Binance.
0% is taken as revenue.

These allocations fuel:
• Hodler and Launchpool rewards
• $alpha airdrops
• Liquidity and marketing support that strengthens early trading conditions

Across the table of projects like $ALLO , $SAPIEN , $MET , $MMT, $KITE, $TURTLE, $ZBT, $ENSO, $EUL, $EDEN, $FF and $MIRA, total allocations typically stay under 5%.
High FDV projects such as $MORPHO, $WAL and $2Z come in well below 1%, showing how the model scales with project quality and market maturity.

Mid tier projects allocate a bit more, mainly to boost user participation and provide liquidity. This structure genuinely supports healthier launches and reduces unnecessary volatility. It is one of the reasons Binance continues to set the standard for transparent listing processes.

Prime Sale also deserves more attention. Listings like $MMT and $YB showed how it gives users early access while helping projects start with strong liquidity and real visibility.

Everything is public and easy to verify.
#dyor , compare the numbers, and trust the data rather than timeline noise. Binance’s model clearly prioritizes users and long term market health.
