WalletConnect $WCT Token Launch on Binance – Summary :
WalletConnect’s native token, WCT, launched on Binance on April 15, 2025, as the 67th project on Binance Launchpool. Users farmed WCT by staking BNB, USDC, or FDUSD from April 11–15. At launch, 186.2 million WCT (18.62% of the total 1 billion supply) entered circulation, and trading opened with pairs like WCT/USDT, WCT/BNB, and others.
$WCT was issued on the Optimism network, debuting around $0.40 but dipped to approximately $0.35 shortly after. The token serves multiple purposes: governance, staking, rewards, and potential use for service fees in the future.
Binance also integrated WCT with Futures (up to 75x leverage), Margin trading, and Simple Earn, increasing its utility and exposure. The launch marked a major step in decentralizing the WalletConnect ecosystem and expanding user participation in Web3 infrastructure.
