🚀 First-day performance: the “Binance Effect”

Average rise ~ 41 %: According to Ren & Heinrich, tokens listed on Binance experience a median ~+41 % gain within 24 hours, followed by around +73 % over 30 days.

Wild outliers: Some listings exploded far beyond the norm:

ACT soared ~2,100 % on day one, briefly reaching up to +4,500 %

PNUT gained +255 %, peaking at +2,118 % .

Even non-meme tokens like THE saw +197 % in a single day .

📊 Typical first-day cycle

Surge: Massive pump driven by liquidity influx and hype.

Whiplash: Sharp volatility spikes—20–30 % intraday moves are common Binance.

Retracement: Profit-taking often triggers corrections within minutes to hours.

Stabilization phase: Price may hover above or dip below original levels.

⚠️ Risks and sustainability

While over 60 % of new listings hit ATHs on day one, most undergo pullbacks soon after ChainCatcher.

Nearly all tokens experience sharp drops in the first week—on average, around –6.3 % as speculators cash out .

Longer term, many tokens fade:

By six months post-listing, the average return is a modest +8 %, and many underperform broader market benchmarks like Ether.

Numerous coins (particularly meme-heavy) eventually lose 30–80 % from initial pumps .

🔍 Why this happens

Binance listings unlock immense liquidity, visibility, and access to millions—leading to instant buying surges Co-founder Yi He noted Binance uses listing criteria including:

ROI on first day and performance on other exchanges

Innovation and capability to attract users

Popularity (“hype”) to maintain Binance market share

But that also means projects with big momentum—especially meme tokens—can surge rapidly and also crash rapidly.

📌 Summary of first-day patterns on Binance

Metric Typical Range/Observation

Median gain day  1~+41 %

Top outliers +200 % to +2,000 %

Intraday volatility 20–30 % swings common

1-week trend –6 % average retracement

6-month average return +8 %, many underperform

✅ Key takeaways

Fast gains, fast risks: First-day rallies are real, but so are whiplash corrections.

Not for the faint-hearted: Only trade if you're prepared for extreme volatility and possible sharp losses

Pre- and post-listing strategy: Some traders buy early or immediately after listing to capture the surge—but having exit strategies is crucial.

🧠 Final note

The “first-day Binance pump” is real—but far from guaranteed. While coins can soar +200 % to +2,000 % in hours, they often dip sharply before stabilizing or fading. On average, expect +41 % day one, with strong volatility and uncertain medium-term outlook. Position size wisely, set clear exits, and treat any gains as potentially fleeting.
