What is Binance Pre-Market?

Binance Pre-Market is an innovative service jointly launched by Binance Spot and Binance Launchpool. This exclusive offering enables users to either divest their proceeds from Launchpool rewards through spot trades or acquire tokens in advance of the official spot listing.

Benefits of the Binance Pre-Market

Binance Pre-Market offers a unique advantage to both regular and Launchpool users by allowing them to trade and hold tokens on the Binance platform before the official spot listing.

Launchpool users can lock in their profit from rewards by selling their early generated Launchpool airdrop tokens before their official spot listing, gaining early access to trades in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency trading.

All Binance users can acquire and trade (buy/sell) the tokens ahead of the official spot listing, without being a Launchpool user.
