According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance Wallet’s Alpha TGE for ZenChain (ZTC) is scheduled for Jan 7, 2026, from 16:00 to 18:00 UTC+8, with eligibility requiring Binance Alpha Points and an additional 420,000,000 ZTC reserved for future activities (source: Binance Chinese X post on Jan 6, 2026). The TGE offers 420,000,000 ZTC, with total supply at 21,000,000,000 and an initial circulating supply of 5,468,000,000 (26% of total) at TGE (source: ZenChain tokenomics explainer on Medium; @ai_9684xtpa). The 420,000,000 ZTC equals 7.68% of the TGE circulating float and approximately 2.0% of total supply based on the above figures (source: ZenChain tokenomics explainer on Medium; Binance Chinese X post). The circulating portion at launch includes allocations for GTM and community, ecosystem (20%), airdrops (50%), foundation (24.75%), and liquidity/marketing (source: ZenChain tokenomics explainer on Medium). ZTC is described as a multi-utility token used for staking, native gas, ecosystem incentives, and on-chain liquidity provision (source: ZenChain tokenomics explainer on Medium). ZenChain is positioned as an EVM-compatible Bitcoin L1 aiming to activate idle BTC liquidity from cold wallets and exchanges (source: @ai_9684xtpa; ZenChain communications via Medium). The author also reports the team announced an $8.5 million round led by Watermelon Capital, DWF Labs, and Genesis Capital (source: @ai_9684xtpa on X, Jan 6, 2026). For trading, the sizable initial float and the extra 420,000,000 tokens earmarked for future activities suggest meaningful supply at launch and later emissions to monitor, while gas and staking utilities may support on-chain demand during price discovery (source: ZenChain tokenomics explainer on Medium; Binance Chinese X post). The author notes fewer TGEs in Nov–Dec and a tentative pickup in early January, framing this as an early-2026 sentiment gauge (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to CoinMarketCap, Alpha Points aggregate balances across Binance Exchange, Binance Wallet, and supported DeFi positions, plus spot volume generated by purchasing Alpha tokens with spot-listed assets, which determines eligibility and access tiers for airdrops and allocations; source: CoinMarketCap tweet on Jan 3, 2026. According to CoinMarketCap, points are calculated daily over a 15-day window, so sustained balances and steady Alpha token purchase activity typically outperform one-off bursts for maximizing point totals; source: CoinMarketCap tweet on Jan 3, 2026. According to CoinMarketCap, claiming airdrops consumes fixed point amounts, creating a clear opportunity cost trade-off between immediate rewards and preserving points for future events; source: CoinMarketCap tweet on Jan 3, 2026. According to CoinMarketCap, the program uses a two-phase structure where higher thresholds grant priority access in phase one and lower thresholds open if supply remains in phase two, guiding traders on timing and threshold targeting; source: CoinMarketCap tweet on Jan 3, 2026.

According to @cas_abbe, Lista DAO has introduced a new feature allowing holders of Staked Lista BNB (slisBNB) and Lista Collateral BNB (clisBNB) to earn Binance Alpha points within just one week of platform improvements (source: Twitter/@cas_abbe, June 20, 2025). This development increases DeFi utility for BNB and may drive higher demand for both slisBNB and clisBNB, impacting BNB liquidity and user engagement in the Binance ecosystem. Traders should monitor BNB and Lista DAO asset flows as this could lead to shifts in DeFi yield strategies and potentially affect BNB price action.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, Binance Alpha Tool Suite now enables traders to instantly monitor daily wash trading volume, loss, and corresponding Binance Alpha points with enhanced user interface and richer data sources (source: @ai_9684xtpa, June 8, 2025). The platform also provides comprehensive overviews of Alpha points thresholds, airdrop rewards, and participant numbers, allowing traders to optimize strategy for maximizing airdrop benefits and scoring opportunities. These tools offer actionable insights for active traders aiming to capitalize on Binance's Alpha program, potentially affecting short-term trading flows and airdrop-related token volatility.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa) on Twitter, since the launch of the Binance Alpha Points system, there have been 11 airdrop and IDO events with notable changes in participation thresholds, directly impacting trading strategies for Binance users. 81.8% of projects saw threshold increases of 15% or less, supporting stable access for most traders. However, $SIGN and $BOOP recorded the highest rises in entry requirements, with 44% and 67% increases respectively, potentially limiting easy market entry and increasing competition. The launch of new BSC tokens during the recent holiday period also reflects ongoing adjustments in Binance’s airdrop mechanics, which are critical for traders seeking alpha. These threshold changes can affect liquidity, volatility, and trading opportunities for Binance-listed tokens. (Source: @ai_9684xtpa, Twitter, May 9, 2025)

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Binance has increased the threshold for the second round of Alpha Points airdrop from 45 to 65, directly affecting both large accounts and small-volume traders. With this update, accounts holding over $100,000 but with no trading activity earn only 4 points per day, totaling 60 points in 15 days, which is below the new 65-point requirement. Similarly, accounts trading $10 daily earn 3 points per day, reaching 45 points in 15 days, and only meet the threshold if they combine this with at least $1,000 in holdings. This mechanism incentivizes active trading and moderate holding, filtering out passive whales and low-activity users (Source: @ai_9684xtpa, Twitter, April 28, 2025).
