Binance Launches MORPHO With HODLer Airdrops
The announcement confirms Morpho as the 49th project to debut on the Binance HODLer Airdrops page. Eligible users, those who subscribed to their BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) and/or On-Chain Yields products between September 28 and September 30, 2025 will receive part of a 6.5 million MORPHO allocation, equivalent to 0.65% of the total supply.
This is not a one-time promotion. Binance emphasizes that HODLer Airdrops are designed to retroactively reward long-term BNB holders, offering them early access to tokens without additional steps. Unlike standard staking or farming, users don’t need to actively commit beyond holding and subscribing BNB.
The distribution will appear directly in users’ Spot Accounts within 24 hours before trading goes live, ensuring that holders are ready to trade immediately once the market opens.
Key Details of MORPHO Tokenomics
Morpho enters Binance with substantial tokenomics that aim to ensure liquidity and broad participation from day one:
- Token Supply: 1,000,000,000 MORPHO
- Circulating Supply at Listing: 338,801,056 MORPHO (33.88%)
- Airdrops Allocation: 6,500,000 MORPHO
- Additional Marketing Allocation: 1,000,000 MORPHO post-listing

MORPHO/USDT, MORPHO/USDC, MORPHO/BNB, MORPHO/FDUSD and MORPHO/TRY are traded in pairs. Notably, Binance has pegged the listing fee to zero, which reiterates its desire to absorb high-potential projects.
Seed Tag and Alpha Market Transition
Morpho has a Seed Tag that indicates that it is a comparatively new and possibly more volatile asset. Before entering, investors are advised to carry out due diligence.
MORPHO will cease to count its trading activity on Alpha points upon the launch of spot trading, even though at the start of the Binance Alpha Market, its trading activity will be counted in the same way. It allows users of MORPHO in Alpha Accounts to transfer their assets to Spot Accounts seamlessly and preserve liquidity and flexibility.

What Is Morpho and Why It Matters?
Morpho is positioning itself as a permissionless yield, lending, and DeFi application platform, with the goal of bringing together the advantages of decentralized lending and flexible infrastructure. Morpho bridges Ethereum and Base two of the largest DeFi ecosystems by enabling developers to integrate across both, providing a starting point of building scalable financial applications.
With the lending market becoming highly competitive with Aave, Compound and other more recent protocols such as Spark, the Binance listing of Morpho grants immediate access to millions of traders and liquidity providers around the globe. Morpho, which had almost 34% of tokens unlocked at launch, is also not prone to the illiquid launches experienced by smaller DeFi projects.
How Binance HODLer Airdrops Benefits BNB Holders
Binance has increasingly leaned on HODLer Airdrops to reward loyalty among its BNB community. The model differs from standard launchpools by making rewards retroactive. The users who had already invested their BNB into the products of Simple Earn automatically had qualified, without the need to take additional steps.
The snapshots are randomly taken and cannot be manipulated thus resulting in fair allocation. Another Binance policy that prevents whale dominance is a BNB holding hard cap of 4% that ensures a more widespread distribution to retail holders.
The initiative is consistent with the larger effort by Binance to make BNB useful. Combined with Launchpool, Megadrop, and staking products, HODLer Airdrops become even more incentivizing to own BNB in the long-term, making it the foundation of the Binance ecosystem.
