Binance to List KAITO: Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has announced plans to list KAITO. Trading will begin on Thursday.

The announcement comes only days after Kaito (KAITO) launched its whitepaper, revealing plans to tokenize social media content with AI.

KAITO to Begin Trading on Binance

According to the announcement, the KAITO token will be available for trading against BTC, USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY pairs. Users can begin trading KAITO on Binance starting February 20 at 13:00 UTC.

This listing marks a significant milestone for KAITO, with anticipation building around its market performance. It comes barely a week after Kaito revealed its whitepaper, outlining a system where users earn “yaps” based on engagement and insight. As BeInCrypto reported, the “yaps” would influence future airdrops, rewarding insightful social media posts using AI-powered evaluation.

Along with this listing, Binance will attach a seed tag to KAITO as a special identifier to help distinguish it from other tokens. This is precautionary given KAITO’s relative newness in the market, making it susceptible to higher-than-normal risk and expected price volatility.

Similarly, Binance is also introducing KAITO to its HODLer Airdrop program. This initiative rewards BNB holders with token airdrops based on historical snapshots of their BNB balances.

“Users who subscribed their BNB to Simple Earn products from 2025-02-06 00:00 (UTC) to 2025-02-10 23:59 (UTC) will get the airdrops distribution,” the announcement read.

Specifically, the airdrop will distribute 20 million KAITO tokens, representing 2% of the one billion KAITO supply. Eligible users will receive the tokens in their spot accounts an hour before trading goes live. Notably, the Base layer-2 network hosts the KAITO smart contract.

Kaito Announces Token Generation Event

The Binance listing announcement coincides with Kaito’s planned token generation event (TGE), slated for February 20 at 12 PM UTC. The network articulated that its tokenomics would be released right before claims open, with trading expected to commence at 1 PM UTC the same day.

“The KAITO claim will be live tomorrow (Thursday 20th Feb) at 12 PM UTC. Tokenomics will be released right before the claim. Trading will go live at 1 PM UTC, on the same day. The InfoFi era begins soon,” Kaito shared on X.

Besides Binance, the OKX exchange has confirmed plans to list the token for spot trading starting Thursday. OKX will impose several restrictions on orders during the first five minutes of trading to protect traders from price volatility at the opening of spot trading.

Specifically, no market orders will be allowed, and each limit order and each user’s maximum net position size must not exceed $10,000 in value.

“These restrictions will be lifted after the first 5 minutes of trading,” OKX articulated.

Given the heft of Binance and OKX exchanges in the crypto industry, these listing announcements highlight the level of attention KAITO is already attracting. Nevertheless, analysts are already front-running a possible sell-off post listing.

“Kaito recently announced TGE is tomorrow & it will be listed on OKX & Binance. Friendly reminder of how recent projects have performed post-TGE on Binance,” community maxi lilstovetop on X said.

The post references the massive sell-offs seen among tokens newly listed on Binance as pre-market holders rush to book profits.
