The hashtag #NEWTBinanceHODLer refers to the recent announcement of Newton Protocol (NEWT) as the 24th project on Binance's HODLer Airdrops program, launched on June 24, 2025. Here's a concise overview based on available information:
Newton Protocol (NEWT): A decentralized finance (DeFi) platform leveraging AI-driven automation for tasks like asset swapping, staking, portfolio rebalancing, and yield optimization. It uses trusted execution environments (TEEs) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to ensure secure, trustless automation while maintaining user control through programmable permissions.
Airdrop Details: Binance is distributing 12.5 million NEWT tokens (1.25% of the total 1 billion token supply) to eligible BNB holders who subscribed their BNB to Simple Earn (Flexible and/or Locked) or On-Chain Yields products between June 14, 2025, 00:00 (UTC) and June 17, 2025, 23:59 (UTC). Tokens will be sent to users’ Spot Wallets at least one hour before trading starts.
Listing and Trading: NEWT is listed on Binance Alpha and will be available on the main Binance exchange starting June 24, 2025, at 14:00 (UTC) with trading pairs including NEWT/USDT, NEWT/USDC, NEWT/BNB, NEWT/FDUSD, and NEWT/TRY. It carries a Seed Tag, indicating higher volatility due to its early-stage status.
Tokenomics: The genesis and maximum token supply is 1 billion NEWT, with 215 million (21.5%) in circulation at listing. An additional 10% (100 million tokens) is allocated for initial and community rewards, with 0.9% for Kaito rewards (snapshot on June 20, 2025, at 7:59 UTC).
Market Context: NEWT surged 40% after listings on South Korea’s Upbit and Bithumb, but Binance Alpha’s recent underperformance may pose challenges. The project has secured $90 million in funding from investors like PayPal Ventures and Polygon.
Sentiment on X: Posts on X reflect excitement about NEWT’s listing and airdrop, with some users promoting Binance sign-ups for trading fee rebates. However, there’s mixed sentiment, with concerns about bearish market trends and unconfirmed rumors about no airdrops for testers.
For the latest updates, check official Binance announcements or the Magic Newton Foundation’s channels, as market conditions and eligibility details may evolve. Always do your own research (DYOR) before investing, as NEWT’s Seed Tag suggests higher risk.
