A $350,000 airdrop—no claiming, no points deducted, sent straight to your account.
Binance Wallet announced on 11-12 that a Binance Alpha Thanksgiving airdrop worth $350,000 will be sent to the Alpha accounts or Binance Wallets of eligible users. No manual claim is needed, and no Alpha points will be deducted. Each user will receive one of these three tokens: $KGEN , $VELO , or $VELVET .
Eligibility is based on the snapshot announced on 11-06: users who had more than 200 Alpha Points as of 07:59:59 on 11-07 (Beijing time).
Several other Alpha service updates were announced in the same batch: Alpha 2.0 instant orders are now available on all supported chains; Alpha deposits and withdrawals now support BSC, ETH, Base, and Arbitrum, with other networks to follow; and airdrops and trading competitions resumed on 11-12.
My take: Before acting on anything that’s free, make sure you understand the rules. This is a thank-you distribution following the upgrade—there’s no rush to claim and no points deduction. Which of the three tokens you receive is random, so don’t feel shortchanged if you don’t get the one you wanted. The Alpha 2.0 changes are more worth watching: instant orders are now available across all supported chains, deposits and withdrawals are enabled across four chains, and events are back. This suggests the upgrade period is over and Alpha is back in action. If you have points, check your wallet to confirm whether the tokens have arrived.
