1. The "Write to Earn" Evolution
Binance has officially opened its "Write to Earn" program to all KYC-verified users as of February 2026. The barrier to entry has been lowered, but the quality standards have been raised.
* Automatic Enrollment: You no longer need to apply. Once you are identity-verified and post eligible content, you are automatically enrolled.
* Commission Structure: Creators can earn up to 50% in trading fee commissions from users who trade after interacting with their content.
* Compliance Review: The Binance Square team now uses AI-driven tools to review all "Write to Earn" submissions. Content that is plagiarized, ghostwritten, or contains false information results in immediate disqualification and potential account suspension.
2. Content Quality & Formatting Rules
To combat the "hype culture" of previous years, the 2026 guidelines mandate a more professional approach to posting:
* The 50-Word Rule: For an article to be eligible for monetization or trending status, it must be original and exceed 50 words.
* Data Integration: High-performing content is now required to include charts, data screenshots, or "Cashtags" (e.g., $BTC).
* Live Trading Transparency: A new "Contract Real Trading Display" feature allows creators to show their actual trading performance. This is becoming a de facto requirement for "Alpha" callers to prove they aren't just "paper trading."
3. Regulatory & Legal Framework (The "Three Giants")
Perhaps the biggest shift in 2026 is the restructuring of Binance’s global operations. Since January 5, 2026, services are managed by three specific regulated entities (under the ADGM framework):
* Asset Isolation: Rules now strictly mandate the separation of platform funds and user funds.
* Mandatory Disclosure: Binance Square creators who are "verified" must often include disclosures if they are being sponsored or if the content is part of a marketing campaign.
* Regional Restrictions: Some features, like the "Alpha Box Airdrops," are region-locked based on local compliance laws (notably stricter in the UK and parts of Europe in 2026).
4. Community Conduct & Safety
Binance has cracked down on "Signal Teachers" and "Capital Preservation" scams.
* Strict Anti-Fraud: Any user offering "guaranteed returns" or asking for private keys/passwords in the comments is flagged and banned within minutes.
* The "Face-Cam" Rule for Streamers: For those participating in the Global Livestreaming Incubation Program, face-cameras are now mandatory. Idle or "black screen" streams are ineligible for rewards.
