Key Takeaways:
- Binance lists ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL after strong community support in the second Vote to List round.
- Trading begins April 11, 2025, at 14:00 UTC with no listing fees applied.
- All three tokens receive Seed Tags due to their innovative yet high-risk nature.
Binance confirmed that ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL will be listed on the Spot Market on April 11, 2025 at 14:00 UTC, with six trading pairs. Binance will list six new spot pairs: ONDO/USDT, ONDO/USDC, BIGTIME/USDT, BIGTIME/USDC, VIRTUAL/USDT, and VIRTUAL/USDC. Previously available on Binance Alpha, these tokens can now only be sold or transferred to Spot.
Community-Driven Listings With Strong ParticipationThe 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.
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. 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 ConsiderationsThe 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 AnnouncementAlso, 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 BeginsTo 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.
