Binance’s ‘Vote to List’ Results Are In—Here are The Tokens That Made It

Binance has just dropped the results of its first-ever ‘Vote to List’ campaign—and the competition was brutal. Out of 185,432 votes cast, only four tokens survived Binance’s intense screening process to secure a spot on the exchange’s spot market.

The winning tokens—Mubarak (MUBARAK), CZ’s Dog (BROCCOLI714), Tutorial (TUT), and Banana for Scale (BANANAS31)—will start trading at 21:00 UTC on March 27 with USDT and USDC pairs. Deposits opened earlier in the day, while withdrawals are set to go live on March 28.

But this wasn’t just about popularity. Binance made it clear that raw voting numbers weren’t the only factor in deciding which tokens made the final cut.

How Binance Chose the Winners

While the voting process gave the community a voice, Binance applied strict filters before approving any listings. A company spokesperson revealed that the selection process considered multiple factors, including:

• Voting data (with more than 12,000 invalid votes removed)
  
• Community engagement
  
• Trading activity
  
• Risk compliance and due diligence
  

Mubarak topped one of Binance’s voting methodologies, while BANANAS31 led in another. Binance also confirmed that tokens not selected in this round could still be listed later, provided they meet further criteria.

The Catch—Why These Tokens Carry Extra Risk

All four selected tokens come with a ‘Seed Tag,’ a label Binance assigns to high-risk and volatile assets. Traders looking to buy or sell these tokens will need to pass risk-awareness quizzes every 90 days to maintain access.

Additionally, Binance has imposed regional restrictions, meaning users in certain countries won’t be able to trade these assets at all. The exchange emphasized that users must check eligibility based on their location before engaging in trading.

A New Era for Binance Listings?

Binance’s ‘Vote to List’ campaign represents a shift toward more community-driven listings while maintaining strict compliance standards.

This approach could mean fewer, but higher-quality listings in the future. It also suggests that Binance is keen to avoid regulatory scrutiny by ensuring that only tokens meeting stringent security and engagement criteria make it to the platform.

For traders, this means more transparency but also higher barriers to entry for new projects. Whether this model will continue to define Binance’s future listings remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: getting listed on Binance just became a whole lot harder.
