#BinanceAlphaPoints system is a clever way to gamify user engagement on Binance’s Alpha platform, rewarding active trading and holding with access to exclusive airdrops and Token Generation Events (TGEs). It’s driving massive trading volume—over $2.8 billion since its launch in April 2025—with over a million daily transactions. The double points promotion for Binance Smart Chain (BSC) trades and limit orders is a nice touch, making it easier to rack up points efficiently.That said, the rising point thresholds, like 137 for $BOOP airdrops, are turning it into a grind. Some users on X, like @BitGeniusX, call it “web3 bait,” with high effort for uncertain rewards. The new points consumption mechanism starting May 13, 2025, where points are deducted after TGEs or airdrops, adds pressure to keep trading. Critics also warn it might encourage unhealthy market behavior, favoring big players over small users, and the declining BSC trading volume hints at potential burnout.Still, it’s a solid opportunity for those who play smart—focus on low-cost chains like Sui for cheaper trades and stay proactive with balance and volume strategies.
