In 2025, the global crypto market saw a surge in investor involvement, driven by Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance and initial adoptions. Despite a decline in prices, Bitcoin and other altcoins gained attention and performed well, with market sentiment remaining high due to upcoming updates.

As regulatory clarity improves and institutional adoption grows, Binance remains at the forefront. Amidst this, Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, continued to be the launchpad for high-potential crypto projects. With 2025 shaping up to be a revolutionary year for the crypto market, several new tokens are eyeing a spot on Binance. Here’s a closer look at the leading tokens expected to be listed on Binance, including confirmed listings and speculative candidates.

Confirmed Binance Listing: KAITO

Binance has officially listed KAITO, an AI-powered token aiming to revolutionize Web3 content discovery. Trading began on February 21, 2025, at 13:00 UTC, with pairs available against BTC, USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD and TRY.

KAITO’s launch follows the release of its whitepaper, outlining plans to tokenize social media content using AI. In addition, Binance has added a seed tag to KAITO, signaling its early-stage nature and potential for high volatility. To incentivize adoption, Binance has also included KAITO in its HODLer Airdrop Program, rewarding BNB holders with KAITO token distributions.

Backed by strong institutional support, KAITO secured $5.3 million in seed funding, with investments from Dragonfly Capital, Sequoia Capital, Jane Street, and others. As an advanced Web3 search platform KAITO aims to improve access to blockchain-related content, including research reports, governance discussions, and crypto news.

Pi Network

The Pi Network, known for its mobile-first mining approach, has built a vast community of over 35 million users. Recently, a community poll on Binance Square revealed that 86.2% of participants support the listing of the PI token. The vote, which began on February 17, 2025, and ends on February 27, 2025, has attracted over 69,000 users.

Despite strong community backing, Binance clarified that the vote serves as a reference point rather than a decisive factor. The final decision will depend on internal evaluations, considering aspects such as tokenomics, compliance, security, and potential trading volume.

Speculated Binance Listings: Projects Gaining Market Interest

With the rise of innovative blockchain projects, speculation around upcoming Binance listings remains high. Investors and traders are closely watching projects with strong communities and real-world applications.

With Binance Alpha—a new initiative highlighting early-stage Web3 projects—launched in December 2024, investors are increasingly speculating on which tokens might debut on Binance in 2025. Here are some tokens generating buzz:

Hyperliquid (HYPE): A next-generation liquidity protocol designed to optimize capital efficiency within the DeFi ecosystem. Hyperliquid introduces AI-powered risk management solutions to ensure smoother trading, aiming to provide deep liquidity for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and automated market makers (AMMs). Additionally, Hyperliquid has launched the HyperEVM, enabling seamless transfers between the spot and derivatives market, further enhancing its utility in the DeFi space.

• Backed by: Pantera Capital, Spartan Group, and Delphi Digital. Recent Example: Binance listed Aevo (AEVO), another DeFi-focused liquidity solution.
• Why it might get listed on Binance: Binance has previously listed DeFi projects that improve liquidity solutions, such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap. HYPE’s innovative AI integration could give it an edge.

Ai16z (AI16Z): A blockchain-based artificial intelligence token backed by venture capital firms focused on AI-driven innovations. Ai16z aims to decentralize AI model development, allowing users to contribute computing power and datasets in exchange for token rewards. 

• Backed by: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Sequoia Capital, and Framework Ventures. Recent Example: Binance listed Fetch.ai (FET) and other AI-driven projects in 2024.
• Why it might get listed on Binance: 2025 seen interest in AI-focused blockchain projects, as seen with recent AI-powered token launches. The backing from major venture capital firms also strengthens its case.

Challenges and Risks: Scams & Pump-and-Dump Concerns

While new listings generate excitement, the market is also seeing an increase in scam tokens. Some projects attempt to manipulate prices through celebrity endorsements or social media hype. For instance, the LIBRA coin controversy erupted after Argentine President Javier Milei allegedly endorsed it in a post on X  but later deleted the post and denied any connection. The token price skyrocketed to $4.50 before crashing, prompting an official investigation.

Meanwhile, Binance’s co-founder and former CEO, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, criticized the Binance listing process, saying it’s flawed because of the short time between the announcement and the actual listing. He noted that prices often spike on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) before the tokens are listed on centralized exchanges (CEXs) like Binance. In a February 9 post on X, he highlighted the need for a more transparent and structured approach to new listings.

While predicting exact Binance listings remains uncertain current trends suggest that AI-powered, sustainability-focused, and Web3-integrated projects will have an edge. Even though regulatory clarity improves and institutional interest grows, Binance will likely continue onboarding high-potential projects that drive the next phase of crypto adoption.
