A TRUE LIFE STORY - HOW BINANCE SQUARE STARTED (Transformations, The Pioneers, et al)📍
Do you wish to know the origin, transformation and some of the Super OGs of Binance square? From Binance Buzz, to Binance FEED and now Square? Ride with me :
But before I proceed, it might interest you to know that the entire write-up of this article is 100% original and true based on personal experience. - No fiction, No research work, No AI. I witnessed it all. All original from me ✍️
Binance Square has grown rapidly from a few tens of creators to a million(s) creators within 3 years. And I can proudly say it loud that I am part of this great success.
Back then in September 2022, I was already a Content Creator and Binance affiliate Marketer. The Binance team introduced a hub called Binance buzz.
Few KOLs including some affiliates(me too) applied and was accepted to be Approved creators inside the Binance app under the control and management of Viane , Diana Dai, J and Eric Yang.
The Binance Buzz was built under the Binance affiliate Pro dashboard inside the Binance app. We had global buzz group(Created by Viane) where we interact with each other (OGs) and give daily feedback and suggestions on how to improve the platform.
After a few weeks, it was changed from Buzz to FEED and was officially launched in October 2022 with lots of improvements. Then approved FEED creators no longer need to navigate to the affiliate Pro dashboard to access it. It was available in the Binance app homepage as a separate tab. The Binance FEED was also made available in the Binance website.
Meanwhile, some of the Global Super OGs who are the pioneers of this platform since 2022 are: My humble Self( Crypto Angel), CaptainX, Kasonso, Aman Sai, Danny- Crypto Resolution Masters, Crypto Ahmet , Berit, Nabeel, Spidey, TAnalyst, Hamza PRO, Crypto Man MAB, ABHI, Admin Crypto Raven, MAX, CryptoPalace, Pro Crypto Tech, Sid@HumanRaiders, Ernest Academy , Euros_Crypto, among others.
COMPARISON BTW BINANCE FEED & SQUARE
To be honest, comparing the then Binance FEED and the current Binance square is just like comparing analog and digital. LOL. This is because, Binance FEED lacked a lot of features you all enjoy currently such as editing, comment section, quoting, poll, video uploads, Audio Live and many more. So, We started bringing suggestions about these features to the FEED team and gradually, they were making it available, we kept testing and giving feedback till it was all great 😃
Also, back then, your post queue up for manual approval before listing. And if found faulty or misleading, it gets delisted again 😂
Within ending of that 2022, SAHIB AQIB (2022 -2024) became the Global manager and was very active and friendly to all KOLs in the group. He in fact, responds like a bot 🫡 🙌 🚀
There was also no monetization feature till 2023 when content tipping was introduced.
GROWTH: We started bringing in influencers and KOLs to join the platform till we had over 1,000 KOLs which was the first milestone 🔥.
The system kept improving, new features we suggested kept rolling in and the platform was getting more and more interesting.
In October 2023, the name was changed from Binance FEED to Binance square. This was when the platform officially launched and went LIVE .
But hey, we didn't stop, we kept building and helping the square to get even better through honest feedback and continuous Suggestions to the team.
MOST REMARKABLE EVENTS
🔶 Our Legend CZ 🔶 @CZ Joined Binance square in the Q4 of 2023 🔶 In the same Quarter, Binance Square was opened and made available for all creators (all Binance users) to post without submitting any application.
In 2024 (ending ) there came huge monetization features for creators such as Write to Earn, etc. Also 2025 brought in CreatorsPad and many more. Till today BS keeps getting bigger and bigger. The actual number of active Creators in Binance square is not known to me but obviously numerous talented creators.
Conclusion : Binance Square has become the first and best choice for brands and project owners who wants visibility and growth.
In my Next Article on Binance square, I will let you know the current conditions of the Binance Super OGs. Stay tuned. A very big shout-out to my Co Super OGs of @Binance Square Official . Both those I mention here and those I didn't. Respect 🫡 🙌🤝🫡
I hope you enjoyed reading this true story. Stay positive, stay safe. See you soon .
𝗗𝗨𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗔𝗕𝗣 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝟯𝟬% 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗧'𝗦 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦 - 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗧 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗦 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗢𝗠𝗬 ? ABP (Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP), one of the world's largest pension funds (based in the Netherlands), did significantly reduce its holdings of U.S. Treasuries between late 2024 and September 2025.
HERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF THE SITUATION AS OF EARLY 2026 Significant Reduction: The market value of ABP's U.S. Treasury holdings dropped from roughly €29 billion ($32+ billion) in December 2024 to approximately €19 billion ($22 billion) by September 2025, which represents a reduction of roughly 30%.
ACTION, NOT JUST MARKET MOVEMENT: Analysts and reports suggest this decline was primarily driven by deliberate sales or a decision not to reinvest in U.S. bonds, rather than solely a drop in bond market prices.
REASONS FOR THE MOVE: The reduction was driven by rising concerns regarding the US national debt, increased geopolitical tensions, and the impact of trade tariffs under the Trump administration.
REALLOCATION: Reports indicate that ABP has been shifting these funds into European government bonds, specifically from the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Broader Context: ABP is not alone in this sentiment. Other European pension funds (such as in Denmark and Sweden) have also reduced their U.S. Treasury holdings in late 2025 and early 2026, citing similar concerns about U.S. fiscal discipline and macroeconomic risk.
And what if its native token is still sitting under $0.09 with massive unlock overhangs behind it, but partnerships, growing TVL, and real payment rails quietly stacking?
Would you consider researching deeper on the token for possible investment? @Plasma #Plasma #plasma $XPL is worth checking on
What if the future of money was already here, but almost nobody noticed yet?
Trillions of dollars move every day through stablecoins, Fast, Borderless, 24/7. Yet most chains still charge fees, force users to hold volatile gas tokens, and lag behind real-world speed. What if one blockchain was quietly built only for this moment — zero-fee USDT transfers, sub-second finality, 1000+ TPS, full EVM compatibility, backed by Tether and Bitfinex insiders?
$XPL is the native token of #Plasma , a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoin payments, especially USDT (USD₮). It delivers zero-fee USDT transfers, sub-second confirmations, 1000+ TPS, full EVM compatibility, and institutional-grade security.
THE GOAL Make stablecoin payments feel like sending a message: instant, cheap, global, and permissionless. Backed by heavyweights like Tether and Bitfinex, with quotes from Paolo Ardoino calling it the essential rails for stablecoins. Integrations with Aave, Ethena, and real-world use cases (e.g., neobanks in Southeast Asia) show growing traction. TVL has seen strong inflows historically, positioning it as a top chain for stablecoin liquidity.
Currently trading around $0.082 with solid daily volume (~$50–$70M+), market cap ~$170M (circulating supply ~2B, total 10B). It's down from earlier highs but still early in the stablecoin boom narrative — trillions in potential on-chain money movement.
Stablecoins are crypto's killer app; Plasma is building the dedicated highway for them. Watching for adoption catalysts in 2026. Let's hear your thoughts. #USNFPBlowout @Plasma $XPL
Although, it appears understandably and predominantly bearish in the short term, influenced by the broader crypto market conditions and recent price action; it is not just another token, it is the fuel for the AI-native future of Web3 $VANRY ⚡
Vanar Chain brings on-chain intelligence, real data/files without IPFS, lightning-fast EVM txns, and true PayFi/RWA power. Undervalued gem at $0.006 with massive upside.
Holding strong support at $0.006, Vanar Chain quietly builds AI layers eco-powered by renewables, and real utility in gaming and tokenized assets. Vanar Chain's key strengths such as AI-native infrastructure, PayFi, RWA, gaming, and eco-friendly L1 blockchain is a great addition to its future growth.
Regardless that today's sentiment is cautious to bearish due to ongoing market weakness, VANRY at $13M MC is the asymmetric bet in Web3 right now.
I wrote an article debunking the news about how people carried fake news about the USA government, you can read it on my pro. But right now let's take about Vanar.
🚀 Bullish Technical + Narrative Accumulation zone alert on $VANRY Holding strong support ~$0.006 while Vanar Chain quietly builds: AI layers (Neutron/Kayon), eco-powered by renewables, and real utility in gaming + tokenized assets. This isn't hype. It is infrastructure. Breakout loading... @Vanarchain
Happening Now - Debunking The News That USA Government Will Shut Down 🚨
The claim that the USA government will shut down on February 14, 2026, is not true as a confirmed fact. It is a potential risk, not a certainty.
Here's the current situation based on recent reports (as of early February 2026): ✓There was a partial government shutdown from January 31 to February 3, 2026, due to a lapse in funding for several departments after a prior continuing resolution expired. Congress passed and President Trump signed legislation ending that shutdown, funding most agencies through September 30, 2026 (end of FY 2026).
✓However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) received only a short-term extension through February 13, 2026 (via a continuing resolution). This was to allow negotiations over immigration enforcement reforms (e.g., ICE operations), amid controversy following incidents like fatal shootings during enforcement actions.
✓ If Congress fails to pass new funding or another extension for DHS by midnight on February 13, 2026, a partial shutdown could begin on February 14, 2026, primarily affecting DHS agencies (e.g., parts of FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc.). Most of the rest of the federal government would remain funded and operational.
✓ This is not a full government-wide shutdown like the earlier one in January 2026 or the longer one in late 2025. It's limited to DHS-related functions, and essential operations (like border security or law enforcement) often continue during such lapses.
✓ Prediction markets (e.g., Kalshi, Polymarket) show significant odds (ranging from ~50-70% in recent days) of a lapse occurring on February 14, with ongoing partisan standoffs in Congress over DHS policy changes. But no shutdown has been confirmed or started yet—negotiations are still active, and a last-minute deal or extension remains possible.
In summary: The U.S. government is not definitively shutting down on February 14, 2026. A partial DHS funding lapse is a real possibility if no agreement is reached by February 13, but the broader federal government is funded, and nothing is set in stone.

1BNB $BNB Tip Received from #Binance Square!! 🎉🧡 @Binance Square Official 🙏 I want to use this opportunity to appreciate my amazing community. We did it together 🤝 🏆 🫡 Let me quickly educate you on this: Originality is your superpower in a world full of trends. Do not just copy; infuse your content with your unique voice, your personal experiences, knowledge and research work. Building consistently is the best way to get lasting rewards. Your consistency is not just about posting; it is about building trust and credibility, showing up when no one is clapping.
And mind you , Low views don't mean low value, and lack of engagement doesn't mean no progress. Someone is definitely watching. Someone is learning from you 🫵 silently.
𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘, 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡? Many new traders get frightened sometimes when they hear this statement. some will feel like, does that means we must loose it all ?😲 Let me explain: It doesn't necessarily means you will loose all, but you have to prepare for eventuality right? hehehe.
Invest what you can afford to lose in crypto means only risking money that will not affect your daily life, essential expenses or long-term financial security if it disappears completely. 😲Just in case !!
Because cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, as a result of this, the rule of "INVEST WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE" ensures investors avoid panic selling during market downturns, protecting their mental health and financial stability.
KEY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS RULE- Why it matters ? ✓VOLATILY RISK: Cryptocurrencies can experience massive, rapid price drops to zero or near-zero. ✓EMERGENCY FUND PROTECTION: Never use money needed for rent, food, or emergency savings to buy crypto. ✓LIMITING EXPOSURE: Experts recommend making crypto only a small percentage (e.g, 1%– 5%) of your overall investment portfolio to limit risk.
✓RISK MANAGEMENT: This approach acts as a buffer, preventing a potential total loss of the invested capital from causing financial ruin.
In a nut shell, this, in essence, is a risk management strategy designed to protect investors in an unpredictable, high-risk market.

Ethereum Slithers Under Pressure as Vitalik Buterin Moves 5,493 ETH - What really happened?
Ethereum faces renewed selling pressure today as investors weigh whether to buy the dip or continue liquidating holdings after the crypto market crash. The dip comes as onchain activity ETH selling by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and Trend Research, fueling bearish sentiment.
It faces increased bearish pressure after falling below $2,700. Veteran trader Peter Brandt warns of further drop in Ethereum price due to ongoing selling, low liquidity, and outflows from spot Ethereum ETFs.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin continues to sell his ETH holdings. He sold 493 ETH worth $1.16 million ( LookOnChain Reported on February 3 on X). This comes following a 211.84 ETH selloff for 500,000 USDC.
On-chain data revealed that Buterin also converted more than 5,000 ETH to WETH. He is likely preparing to sell these tokens to support the Ethereum ecosystem. While the transfer isn’t larger, the timing of selling his ETH holdings amid the Crypto market crash sparked panic
VITALIK BUTERIN WITHDRAWS 16,384 ETH !!!
A few days after warning of a potential crypto industry decline due to speculation and lack of real-world use, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin withdrew 16,384 ETH.
In an X post on January 30, Buterin confirmed that the withdrawn ETH would be used to meet two goals. He plans an aggressive roadmap for Ethereum to maintain its performance and scalability, without compromising robustness, sustainability, and decentralization.
He further said these funds will help the Ethereum Foundation ensure long-term sustainability and protect Ethereum’s core mission. This includes supporting the “core blockchain layer and users’ ability to access and use the chain with self-sovereignty, security, and privacy.”
Buterin is also exploring secure decentralized staking options, which would enable greater allocation of staking rewards toward these long-term goals.
Such withdrawals may contribute to short-term bearish sentiment or increased selling pressure, particularly during periods of market weakness.
VETERAN TRADER PETER BRANDT WARNS ETHEREUM PRICE CRASH
Peter Brandt shared a 24-hour Ethereum price chart highlighting a symmetrical triangle pattern formation. He claims that the price has breakdown and flashes a classic bearish signal, indicating further downside risk. Peter Brandt shared another chart depicting a right-angled broadening pattern for the Crypto Total Market Cap. It has fallen to the key support of $2.82 trillion after the crypto market crash.
SUPPORT ZONE:
The next support zone is $2,000-$2,200. In fact, it is the next major support zone. This is where spot ETFs and DATs have accumulated their most ETH. The level is most likely to provide short-term support for a potential rebound.
COINGRASS DATA:
The CoinGlass data indicates a buy-the-dip sentiment in the derivatives market in the last few hours. Total ETH futures open interest fell over 10% to $34.89 billion in the past 24 hours. Four-hour $ETH futures open interest on CME and Binance declined by more than 0.30% and 0.40%, respectively.
Conclusion: It is very crucial for $ETH to hold the support zone for a possible short term rebound. So, ETH price needs to reclaim the 200-week moving average at $2,451 for upside move.
However, these are based on my own personal research work, knowledge and observation in the market and market movers. Trade and invest Wisely as the price of crypto assets can move quickly in opposite direction especially during a volatile market such as this.
