Binance to List StakeStone (STO) with Airdrop Rewards for BNB Holders

Binance has revealed plans to list StakeStone (STO), a token supporting liquid staking, on its spot trading platform. This move comes after STO’s inclusion in the 17th round of Binance’s HODLer Airdrops initiative.

As detailed in the May 2 announcement, BNB holders who subscribed to Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yield products between April 27 and April 29, 2025, will receive STO tokens via retroactive airdrop. Spot trading for STO is scheduled to launch at 16:00 UTC on May 2, with the following trading pairs: STO/USDT, STO/USDC, STO/BNB, STO/FDUSD, and STO/TRY.

Airdrop Distribution and Eligibility Criteria

Under the HODLer Airdrops program, Binance distributes airdrops to BNB holders based on balance snapshots taken multiple times per hour during the eligibility period. STO tokens will be distributed at least one hour before trading begins.

To promote fair access, Binance has implemented a cap on individual BNB holdings—no user may exceed 4% of the total eligible pool.

An additional 15 million STO tokens (1.5% of the total supply) will be set aside for future promotional activities starting three months after the listing.
