Binance said it will update leverage levels for multiple assets under its portfolio margin system at 06:00 UTC on Aug. 21, 2026, with the process expected to take about 30 minutes. ADA, BFUSD, BNB, BNSOL, DOGE, RLUSD, SOL, U, USD1, USDE, USDP, USDS, WBETH and XRP will move from 5x to 10x leverage. A separate group of 41 tokens, including 1INCH and AAVE, will be changed from 3x to 5x. Binance also said BANANAS31, KMNO, MUBARAK, NXPC, PROM, SYRUP, TUT and ZRO will be cut from 10x to 5x. The exchange advised users to monitor uniMMR to reduce the risk of potential liquidations.

According to the latest data from Binance's spot market, as reported by ChainCatcher, the cryptocurrency market experienced significant volatility over the past 24 hours. ONE was among the gainers, rising 13.69%, while NOK B advanced 9.83% and touched a fresh daily high. In contrast, CRV, NIL, MUBARAK, and STORJ all followed a 'spike then pullback' pattern after climbing earlier. CRV fell 8.59%, NIL dropped 6%, MUBARAK declined 5.04%, and STORJ slid 37.79% during the same period. On the other side, HEI, ALLO, and ID showed a 'dip then rebound' pattern, with HEI adding 5.13%, ALLO gaining 5.17%, and ID rising 5.69%. The figures reflect sharp swings across these trading pairs on Binance, with notable double-digit moves in both directions. ChainCatcher highlighted the moves in its market analysis, citing Binance's official spot quotes. Overall, the session was mixed, as some tokens reached daily highs while others reversed lower or recovered from lows, highlighting the broad volatility in the market.

ChainCatcher reported, citing Binance spot market data, that several tokens saw sharp moves over the past 24 hours. NBISB posted the biggest gain in the group, rising 28.54%, while MUBARAK climbed 8.67%. The report said both tokens showed a rebound after touching lower levels. On the downside, PARTI and WAL both hit new intraday lows, falling 7.73% and 10.6%, respectively. AEVO also touched a new low for the day with a 5.65% decline. BABY recorded the steepest drop among the listed tokens, down 19.01%. At the same time, EWYB and COHRB reached their 24-hour highs. Their gains stood at 5.04% and 12.92%, respectively. The moves point to broad volatility across Binance spot trading, with both sharp rallies and notable pullbacks appearing across multiple tokens in the same session.

HTX platform data for Aug. 2 to Aug. 9 showed that the broader crypto market did not rise across the board, with Bitcoin dominance staying above 56% and capital still concentrated in large-cap assets. Even so, several mid- and small-cap tokens posted independent rallies. The most concentrated move came from the BSC meme sector, where TUT surged 733% for the week, while MUBARAK and TST also advanced together. In the AI segment, SKYAI rose 291% after ending a three-month consolidation. DeFi names remained active as well: BICO climbed 240%, BMT gained 110%, and BTW rose 153%, marking its third straight week on the gainers list. HTX said many of the week’s top performers had spent extended periods in weakness before being repriced by the market.

BSC-based meme token MUBARAK spiked from roughly $0.013 to $0.03 overnight after Aster listed its perpetual contract with up to 5x leverage, pushing its market cap close to $30 million. The rally mirrors the pattern set by TUT earlier this month, when Aster's perpetual listing triggered a 300% squeeze-driven pump. Both tokens are legacy BSC meme coins that were part of Binance's first Vote to List batch in March 2025, and the current move appears driven by a repeating template of Aster listings, leveraged capital, and rotation into established meme tokens rather than any fresh narrative.

Ten days after CZ said he might buy or sell a meme coin to test something new, he has yet to make a move. In a July 30 post, CZ said he supports all meme coins and could buy or sell one or two in the coming weeks. No such transaction has been observed since. Meanwhile, several BSC ecosystem meme coins have climbed sharply over the past week, with market attention appearing to center on tokens CZ had previously interacted with or bought. Data from GMGN shows MUBARAK up 70.9% in the last 24 hours and 120.7% over the past week. TST added 13% in a day and 71% for the week. BROCCOLI gained 15% and 51.5% over the same periods. All three tokens are BSC-based meme coins with weekly gains ranging from 51.5% to 120.7%. Traders are watching whether CZ will follow through on his pledge as the rally in BSC-linked meme tokens continues.

ChainCatcher reported, citing Binance spot market data, that several tokens saw sharp price swings over the past 24 hours and in shorter intraday windows.

ChainCatcher also said THE, BMT, MUBARAK and PROVE each showed a similar rise-then-pullback pattern, with losses ranging from 5% to 7%. In very short-term trading, EPIC and CTSI both recorded modest declines within five minutes, down 3.06% and 3.21%, respectively. The report framed the moves as part of broader volatility visible in Binance spot trading data.
