Binance Chinese-language social media announced that Binance Alpha is changing how rewards tied to stock meme token holdings are calculated and distributed. Under the current setup, rewards for users holding assets in Binance Wallet will still be automatically sent by Flap to users’ on-chain Binance Wallet addresses based on Flap’s own distribution rules. For Alpha 2.0 holders on the centralized exchange side, Binance Alpha will continue to use daily random snapshots to count token balances and distribute rewards on a monthly basis, with eligible users receiving the prior month’s rewards in their spot accounts at the beginning of the following month. For the August holding period, MarsCoin and Niulai will remain under the previous reward mechanism, and those rewards are scheduled to be distributed in early September. Binance said Niulai was listed on Alpha 2.0 on Aug. 18, so its August holding calculation will only cover Aug. 18 through Aug. 31, a 14-day period. MarsCoin rewards will be issued in SPCXB, while Niulai rewards will be issued in QQQB. Starting in September, a new rule will apply: a user must hold more than 10,000 tokens in a single day for that day to count as valid holdings. Monthly rewards will then be allocated separately for each token based on each user’s share of total valid holdings among qualified users.

Binance’s Chinese-language account said Binance Alpha will adjust the reward mechanism tied to stock meme token holdings.

Under the current arrangement, rewards for Binance Wallet holders will still be automatically distributed by Flap to users’ on-chain Binance Wallet addresses according to Flap’s own distribution rules. Rewards for Alpha 2.0 holders on the CEX side will be handled by Binance Alpha, which uses daily random snapshots to count holdings for each token and allocates rewards on a monthly basis. Eligible users will receive the corresponding rewards for the previous month at the beginning of the next month in their spot accounts.

August calculations remain under the previous mechanism

Binance said MarsCoin and Niulai will still follow the previous mechanism in the August holding statistics, with the related rewards set to be distributed in early September.

For Niulai, the August calculation covers Aug. 18 through Aug. 31, or 14 days, because the token was listed on Alpha 2.0 on Aug. 18.

MarsCoin rewards will be distributed in the form of SPCXB, while Niulai rewards will be distributed in the form of QQQB.

New holding rules take effect from September

Starting in September, holdings will be counted under a new mechanism, and the first rewards under the revised rules will be distributed in early October.

Under the new method, a user must hold more than 10,000 units of a given token in a single day for that day to count as valid holdings. A user’s monthly valid holdings will equal the sum of valid holdings across each day of the month.

Monthly rewards will be distributed based on each user’s share of the total valid holdings in that token among all qualified users. Each token will be calculated separately, with no combined accounting across different tokens.

Binance added that any newly added tokens brought under this framework in the future will follow the same logic, with no separate notice to be issued.
