Binance has announced that it will list StakeStone (STO), a liquid staking protocol token, on its spot trading platform, following its inclusion in the 17th round of HODLer Airdrops.
According to the announcement published on May 2, eligible users who subscribed BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible and/or Locked) and On-Chain Yield products between April 27 and April 29, 2025, will receive STO airdrops. The token is expected to start trading at 16:00 UTC on May 2, with trading pairs including STO/USDT, STO/USDC, STO/BNB, STO/FDUSD, and STO/TRY.

Airdrop Mechanics and BNB Subscription Criteria
The HODLer Airdrops program allocates tokens to BNB holders based on snapshots taken during the eligibility window. Binance indicated that snapshots are captured multiple times per hour to calculate users' average balances in Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields. The distribution of the STO airdrop is expected to occur at least one hour before spot trading opens.
To ensure broad distribution, a participation limit on holding BNB is applied: an individual user's participation is limited to a maximum of 4% of the total eligible BNB pool.
An additional 15 million STO tokens (1.5% of the maximum supply) will be reserved for marketing campaigns starting three months after the listing.
