Binance Alpha 2.0: Game-Changer for Decentralized Trading

Binance unveils Binance Alpha 2.0, which combines its Alpha platform with their Binance Exchange. The update streamlines decentralized trading by allowing users to purchase Alpha tokens on-chain without sending funds to external wallets.

According to Binance’s announcement on March 18, the update is designed to simplify access to early-stage digital assets. Previously, users had to go through Binance Wallet to acquire Alpha tokens, requiring multiple steps. With Alpha 2.0, users can now buy Alpha tokens through Binance Pay using their Funding and Spot accounts.

New Features Enhance Accessibility and Security

Alpha 2.0 will be integrated into Binance exchange to reduce these transaction costs and improve security. Binance users can access and trade Alpha tokens on a faster basis using the Alpha network by removing the need to make wallet transfers.

Binance has also introduced a dedicated “Alpha” tab within the “Markets” section. This feature provides a centralized space for users to track Alpha tokens, view real-time charts, access project details, and execute trades.

Community Voting System for Token Listings and Delistings

The launch of Alpha 2.0 follows Binance’s introduction of a community co-governance system for token listings and delistings on March 7. Under this system, Binance users can vote on which projects should be listed on the exchange. Binance will pre-select projects, and the most voted tokens will be listed after due diligence checks.

Additionally, projects that do not meet development requirements or fail to provide updates will be placed in Binance’s “monitoring zone.” Once in this zone, the community will have the ability to vote on whether they should be delisted.

Zero Trading Fee Promotion for Binance Wallet Users

As we previously reported, Binance has launched a six-month promotion that removes trading fees for Binance Wallet users who swap cryptocurrencies. This offer began on March 17, 2025, and is aimed at retail traders who use Binance Wallet’s integrated swap and bridge features or the quick buy option in Binance Alpha.

Binance confirmed that while trading fees are removed during the promotion, users must still cover network gas fees. “Trading fees for all swaps are waived during the Promotion Period, but users will still be responsible for network gas fees,” the exchange stated.

These updates are in line with Binance’s continued endeavors towards improving decentralized trading by lowering costs, raising security and widening accessibility for its users.
