#BinancehodlerSOMI Binance has done it again: it's pulled out its magician's suit and launched the airdrop of Somnia (SOMI), the token it claims to be the new Matrix blockchain, although for now it's just another "Layer 1" in the line of projects that promise to change the world... on its website. If you held BNB on Earn between August 12 and 15, Binance deposited SOMI into your wallet like supermarket discount coupons. At the beginning of September, spot trading began, and if that weren't enough, they also enabled futures with 5x leverage, for those who enjoy living with more adrenaline than a trader with a triple espresso and zero stop loss.

And what is SOMI? Supposedly, the blockchain for gaming, metaverses, and social experiences, with a 50% gas consumption to sound "deflationary." Translation: hype wrapped in marketing. With luck, it'll be the next Ethereum player; with less luck, another collectible token in your crypto graveyard. You decide whether you laugh, cry or HODL.
