Last night, according to Binance's official information, Binance launched a pre-market trading service, allowing users to build positions in advance before the token spot market is listed. In addition, in an interview with The Block, a Binance spokesperson pointed out that although other cryptocurrency exchanges also offer pre-market trading, they are usually limited to derivatives trading, while Binance is "the first exchange to provide users with real token trading during pre-market trading." Through this service, tokens will be specially allocated and generated for users to hold and trade on the Binance platform before listing.

The biggest difference between the pre-market trading service launched by Binance and other centralized exchanges is that Binance's pre-market trading involves "spot", while other exchanges mainly trade "futures". Below, Odaily Planet Daily will analyze Binance's spot pre-market trading service, including the participation process, product features and potential impact on the market.

How does Binance’s pre-market spot trading service work?

Binance Spot Pre-Market Trading Service is an exclusive innovative service jointly launched by "Binance Spot" and "Binance Launchpool". Launchpool tokens are held by users. Users can sell or buy Binance Launchpool shares through pre-market trading before the Binance Launchpool project is listed on the spot market (but before the official listing, it will be subject to withdrawal, transfer and deposit limits, etc.). Pre-market trading will end at least four hours before the official spot trading.

There are currently no listed projects for pre-market trading, so the first pre-market trading project will be released together with the Binance new Launchpool announcement (Note: Binance spot pre-market trading service is not available in some regions, including the United States, Canada, Dubai, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia and Spain).

In order for users to better understand the spot pre-market trading service, its operation process is as follows:

  • Step 1: Enter pre-market trading. Log in to your Binance account, go to the Trading section, select Spot, and then click the Pre-Market tab to view available trading currency pairs;

  • Step 2: Buy tokens. Users can buy tokens during the pre-listing phase, but there are restrictions, and each token has a maximum holding limit. For example, if the cap is 5 BNB, and the user already holds 10 BNB from Launchpool rewards, then the user cannot buy more tokens until the holding drops below 5 BNB;

  • Step 3: Sell tokens. During the pre-market trading period, users can sell an unlimited number of tokens, allowing them to flexibly manage their assets and potentially lock in profits before the tokens are officially listed;

  • Step 4: Strategic Trading. Use early market data and sentiment analysis in the pre-market phase to adjust users’ positions and optimize their portfolios based on token performance and expected market trends;

  • Step 5: Transition to official listing. After the pre-listing phase, the token will be transferred to Binance’s official spot trading, and can then be withdrawn, transferred or deposited.

What are the features of Binance’s pre-market spot trading service?

As can be seen, Binance’s pre-market trading service provides users with the opportunity to buy and sell tokens before they are officially listed on the spot market. The features are as follows:

  • Early access for all users: Not only Binance Launchpool participants, but all users of the Binance platform can obtain and trade tokens before the official listing of Launchpool project tokens;

  • Launchpool users lock in profits in advance: For Launchpool participants, users can sell their rewarded tokens immediately after the pre-market trading opens to obtain profits as early as possible;

  • Sufficient liquidity: The selected pre-market spot transactions are all high-quality Launchpool projects selected by Binance, so both platform traffic and project hot spots will bring liquidity to the transaction;

  • No additional transaction fees: According to Binance’s announcement, pre-market spot transactions will not incur additional fees beyond the standard spot transaction fees.

The launch of pre-market spot trading is good for BNB price growth

The spot pre-market trading service launched by Binance demonstrates differentiated advantages in many aspects.

On the one hand, compared with the pre-market trading of Bitget, Bybit, Gate.io and other exchanges, the core of Binance's pre-market trading is that users can directly trade "actual tokens" rather than "futures". This difference will not only enrich the user experience, but also attract more users to trade on the Binance platform, thereby bringing more traffic. Unlike previous years, although the price of BTC has continued to rise in the past six months and the rhetoric of "violent bull market" has frequently appeared on social media, the performance of most altcoins has not been as expected, and has not shown the parabolic rise that everyone imagined, and some altcoins have even continued to hit new lows. Because of this, the community's attention to the upcoming hot new projects has increased significantly, and pre-market trading on the chain and pre-market trading activities on centralized exchanges have become increasingly active. Against this background, the spot pre-market trading service launched by Binance is expected to attract a large amount of user traffic with its advantage as an "exchange giant", so that more users are optimistic about the future development of Binance, which will help drive BNB prices further up.

On the other hand, the launch of the spot pre-market trading service enables Launchpool tokens to circulate immediately, and participants can cash out the mined tokens at any time. For the Launchpool project launched by Binance in the future, users can cash out without waiting for the mining to end or the token to be officially launched, realizing the "mining and selling" model. In addition, since the circulation of tokens is low during the spot pre-market trading period, airdropped tokens and even other selling forces have not yet been injected into the market, theoretically the mined tokens can be traded at a higher price, which greatly enhances the "golden shovel" attribute of BNB and helps to drive BNB prices further up.

In order to attract more traffic, the price performance of the spot pre-market trading of the Launchpool project launched by Binance is particularly critical. Will its price "soar"? We will wait and see.
