Binance Drops Bombshell On Alpha Token Traders, What'S Going On

Due to this change, trading volume from Alpha-to-Alpha token pairs will not be counted towards Alpha Points. That trading high volumes within the pairs will not increase their Alpha Point scores. These points are usually used to unlock benefits or become eligible for Binance campaigns.

Additionally, liquidity pool (LP) balances involving Alpha tokens will also be excluded from Alpha Point calculations. This move will affect users who provide liquidity to Alpha token pools in hopes of earning rewards through the Alpha program.

Lastly, Alpha-to-Alpha trades will be completely excluded from Binance’s trading competitions: both current and future ones. These trades will not impact leaderboard positions or competition rankings.

Alpha Token-to-Alpha Token pairs are a trading pair where both tokens belong to Binance’s Alpha program. Users can swap one Alpha token directly with another, without involving popular base currencies like USDT or BTC. This is a critical update for regular traders who have been focusing on Alpha-to-Alpha pair activity for rewards or competition rankings.
