Binance recently launched Binance Alpha, which has two meanings. The first is that nominally, Binance Alpha is intended to introduce potential coins, but in reality, it should be seen as Binance trying to quickly introduce trending coins ahead of numerous competing exchanges, while not wanting to relax their listing standards, thus having to keep pace with competitors to avoid losing users, resulting in an awkward product. The second is that there will certainly be some coins that will be listed on Binance from Binance Alpha, but Binance currently cannot accurately predict which coins will be listed, so they are initially releasing all of them to see how each develops. This also facilitates price discovery, creating a slowly rising candlestick chart, earning Binance some positive reputation. Therefore, Binance Alpha is primarily focused on trending coins; whether these trending coins can maintain long-term potential is still uncertain, but there will also be a few potential coins within Binance Alpha that can be listed on Binance.
