Global crypto exchange Binance has officially launched the second round of its “Vote to List” campaign, inviting users to help select which utility tokens should be considered for listing on the platform. The campaign runs from April 2 to April 9, 2025, closing at 23:59 UTC.
Unlike the first round, which focused heavily on meme coins, this new round highlights utility tokens tied to growing sectors like AI, DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), and RWA (Real World Assets).
Featured Tokens See Market Surge
Several tokens featured in the campaign saw strong price reactions following the announcement:
- Big Time (BIGTIME), a Web3 multiplayer RPG token, soared as high as 70% before stabilizing with a 30% gain.
- UXLINK, ZetaChain, and Plume also saw notable increases of 18%, 9%, and 8%, respectively.
The strong rallies reflect growing market enthusiasm and increased visibility provided by Binance’s voting spotlight — even though final listings are not guaranteed through voting alone.
How the Voting Works
To participate in the campaign, users must:
- Hold a verified Binance account.
- Have at least 0.01 BNB in their Binance Wallet throughout the entire voting period.
Eligible users can vote for up to five projects, but only one vote per project is allowed. Importantly, each vote must be submitted as a comment under Binance’s official Square post related to the campaign.
The current lineup includes:
- Virtual Protocol, Morpho, Grass, Story, Ondo, Big Time, UXLINK, Aethir, Walrus, Safe, ZetaChain, and Plume.
Community Power with Oversight
While Binance emphasizes community participation, the platform has made it clear that the voting outcome alone will not determine listings. Each project will undergo an in-depth review process based on:
- Fundamentals and tokenomics
- User adoption
- Team credibility
- Technical security and compliance
This approach is aimed at maintaining Binance’s standards while still offering its community a voice in the process.
Recent Moves: Listing and Delisting
Binance’s “Vote to List” campaign comes on the heels of its “Vote to Delist” initiative launched in March, allowing users to vote on which projects should be removed from the platform’s monitoring list. That announcement was followed by the delisting of five tokens: AERGO, AST, BURGER, COMBO, and LINA.
Broader Market Conditions
The new voting campaign arrives amid broader crypto market turbulence, largely triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which have sparked fears of a global recession. Despite the market-wide 3% dip, select tokens tied to the Binance vote have defied the downturn.
With increased community engagement and strategic project curation, Binance continues to reshape the dynamics between users and platform listings, offering a blend of participatory governance and rigorous due diligence.
