And the pace is leaving little room for the market to react. Over the past two weeks, updates have been rolling out faster and more frequently, which for experienced Alpha users means one thing — short-term opportunities will keep coming. For newcomers, it’s a great moment to start learning the rhythm.
Projects are launching in clusters, often with early bird perks. For example, PublicAI (PUBLIC) goes live on August 15. It’s not on the main board yet, but Alpha Points can already be exchanged for tokens — a consistent Alpha approach that rewards early positioning. Similarly, Baby Shark Universe (BSU) launched on August 9 with airdrops, giving early Alpha users a head start before the wider market even reacts.
The Alpha 2.0 upgrade has also lowered the entry barrier. Direct on-chain access to exchanges removes the need for external wallets, streamlining the process and making it more beginner-friendly. This isn’t just a UI tweak — for veteran players, it could mean a bigger wave of new traffic, which often fuels early project growth.
The project lineup is diverse, spanning AI, meme coins, infrastructure, and AI agents. This round includes:
AI: PublicAI (PUBLIC), AI Agent framework token (ALCH)
Meme: COCO (BNB Chain), MIRA (Solana), SKI (Base)
Infrastructure: SatLayer (SLAY)
Binance isn’t just chasing trends — it’s spreading its bets across multiple sectors, turning Alpha into a concentrated incubator for high-potential projects.
Data shows that Alpha averages around 30 projects per month, with roughly 10% eventually making it to the main board or achieving major launches. Catching those early can offer far better cost and return potential than waiting for the main listing.
My strategy:
Short term: Keep some Alpha Points in reserve for surprise launches.
Mid term: Prioritize AI and infrastructure plays for lasting value.
Long term: Treat Alpha as a “trial ground” for spotting winners early — the skill of selection and risk control is worth more than just chasing hype.
