In the first half of 2025, the cryptocurrency market is booming.

As long as you watch Binance Alpha and buy coins following the hot rankings, you can make some profits. Many retail investors who just entered the market have also managed to turn things around step by step through early airdrops, Launchpool, and tasks.

But good times do not last long. As we enter the third quarter, everyone can clearly feel that: Alpha is becoming increasingly 'competitive'; once information is released, the coin price has already surged, and if you are slow, you can only help others lift the sedan chair. In the past, it was possible to make money with limited information; now, there is so much information that it feels overwhelming.

I can't help but ask: Can Binance leave a lifeline for retail investors?

I have a suggestion that might help Alpha return to what it should be:

• Establish a 'Small Amount Zone' with a limit on the maximum participation funds for each person, allowing retail investors to have some competitive space;

• Combine KYC with task thresholds to eliminate multi-account arbitrage;

• Incorporate an 'Alpha Participation Reward' mechanism to help Binance optimize event design.

The value of Alpha should not only be 'fast', but also 'accurate' and 'fair participation'.

I hope that in the second half of 2025, it will not just be a stage for big players, but also leave a little light to illuminate retail investors.
