Binance Publishes Listing Standards to Boost Trust and Transparency

Binance is elevating crypto standards with a bold listing and delisting framework, driving transparency, project quality, and ecosystem integrity.

Binance Publishes Listing and Delisting Processes to Elevate Crypto Standards

Crypto exchange Binance published on April 25 a comprehensive outline of its listing and delisting processes, aiming to bring greater clarity to project teams and the broader crypto community. As part of this announcement, Binance emphasized its structured listing paths across Binance Alpha, Futures, and Spot platforms, along with programs like Launchpool, Megadrop, and HODLer Airdrops. The company stated:

Binance is detailing its various listing products and methods, and the corresponding evaluation requirements to help projects familiarize themselves.

This updated approach focuses on comprehensive evaluation metrics such as project fundamentals, tokenomics, technical risks, team background, and compliance considerations for both early-stage and established projects.

Listing methods differ depending on whether a project is new, circulating, or has already engaged with Alpha or Futures. Non-circulating projects at the Token Generation Event stage can apply for exclusive listings or airdrops under Binance Alpha, while existing tokens on major blockchains like BNB Chain, Solana, Base, and Ethereum can seek direct featuring. The Futures listing process prioritizes secondary market performance for projects previously featured on Alpha, while spot listings assess trading volumes and price stability across Alpha and Futures platforms.

To preserve ecosystem integrity, Binance underscored the importance of periodic evaluations, stating:

To maintain a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, Binance periodically reviews listed projects and may delist tokens that fail to meet ongoing standards.

In reinforcing its long-term vision, Binance explained that the outlined standards are intended to uphold user protection and the platform’s integrity over time. Projects may face delisting for factors such as low trading volume, price manipulation, poor team communication, network vulnerabilities, or regulatory failures. Binance reiterated its overarching philosophy in a statement: “These guidelines reflect Binance’s commitment to maintaining a healthy and sustainable ecosystem.” Through these measures, Binance aims to foster a transparent, high-quality environment for both users and project developers within the evolving crypto space.
