This is a general announcement. The products and services mentioned here may not be available in your region.
Hello, Binancian:
Binance will include Espresso (ESP) and will open trading for the following spot trading pairs on 2026-02-12 13:00 (UTC).
New spot trading pairs: ESP/USDC
Users can start depositing ESP to prepare for trading one hour later.
Withdrawals will be enabled at 2026-02-13 13:00 (UTC).
Listing fee: 0 BNB
Espresso smart contract:
An additional 17,950,000 ESP will be allocated to future marketing campaigns. Details will be shown in separate announcements.
*Please note that ESP will be available on Binance Alpha and can be traded on Binance Alpha (the schedule will be announced later). However, once spot trading opens, ESP will no longer be displayed on Binance Alpha. Users with ESP in their Binance Alpha accounts can continue selling the token using Instant Alpha within one hour after spot trading opens, but their orders and trading volumes will no longer be counted towards the Binance Alpha Points.
Notes:
Key points for Binance Alpha users:
Users can transfer their ESP from Binance Alpha accounts to spot accounts 15 minutes before spot trading begins.
ESP will be delisted from Binance Alpha when spot trading opens on Binance Spot.
After ESP is delisted from Binance Alpha, users can still view their ESP balance in their Binance Alpha accounts and transfer them to spot accounts to continue trading on Binance Spot.
Binance will transfer ESP from users' Binance Alpha accounts to spot accounts within 24 hours.
Binance Alpha functions as a token selection pool prior to listing. Once a highlighted project on Binance Alpha is listed on Binance Spot, the asset(s) will no longer be displayed on Binance Alpha.
The "Seed" Label will apply to ESP.
The opening time for withdrawals is an estimated time as a reference for users. You can see the actual status of withdrawals on the withdrawal page.
Some spot orders will also be enabled for the previously mentioned pairs at 2026-02-12 13:00 (UTC), while trading Bots and Copy Trading spot will be enabled within 24 hours after their listing on Spot. For users with active Copy Trading spot wallets, pairs can be included by enabling them in the [Personal Pair Preference] section of the Copy Trading spot settings.
What is Espresso (ESP):
Espresso is a decentralized base layer aimed at enhancing performance, interoperability, and security of layer 2 rollups.
Important notes:
ESP is a relatively new token that carries a higher than normal risk and is likely subject to high price volatility. Users should apply sufficient risk management and do their own research (DYOR) to fully understand the project before opting to trade with the token.
"Seed" Labels represent innovative projects that may present greater volatility and risks compared to other listed tokens. The "Seed" Label will apply to ESP.
To gain trading access to tokens marked with the "Seed" Label, users will need to pass the corresponding questionnaires every 90 days on the Binance Spot and/or Binance Margin platforms, and accept the Terms of Use. The questionnaires are designed to ensure that users are aware of the risks before trading with tokens with the "Seed" Labels. You can find the "Seed" Labels on the corresponding trading pages of Binance Spot and Binance Margin, as well as on the Market Summary page. A risk warning banner will also be displayed for all tokens with the "Seed" Labels.

Please note that the list of restricted countries provided below may change from time to time due to mandatory changes in applicable laws and regulations, or other relevant changes regarding the trading eligibility of these new trading pairs.
