@Hemi is the native token of the Hemi Labs network — a modular Layer-2 blockchain designed to bridge the “store of value” strength of Bitcoin with the smart contract flexibility of Ethereum. According to the project’s official site, Hemi merges the two ecosystems into a unified “super-network,” enabling developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) that can access both Bitcoin state (UTXOs, block headers) and Ethereum-style programmability.
Hemi’s architecture is comprised of several key features: the Hemi Virtual Machine (hVM), which embeds a full Bitcoin node inside an EVM-compatible environment; the Proof-of-Proof (PoP) consensus mechanism, through which Hemi periodically anchors its state to the Bitcoin blockchain to inherit its security; and Tunnels, a framework for moving assets between Bitcoin, Hemi, and Ethereum in a trust-minimized manner.
Binance Listing & Token Launch
Hemi made its token generation event (TGE) and public launch with strong visibility through Binance. A key announcement revealed that HEMI would launch on Binance with trading set to begin on August 29, 2025. The project also raised approximately US$15 million in a growth round ahead of the launch, bringing cumulative funding to around US$30 million.
Binance’s support of the project—both via investment (through its investment arm) and listing visibility—gives HEMI access to one of the largest trading platforms and audience pools in the market.
Tokenomics, Use-Cases & Market Snapshot
The total supply of HEMI is capped at 10 billion tokens.  According to market data, the circulating supply at launch was approximately 977.5 million tokens (~9.78% of total supply).
HEMI’s utility within the Hemi ecosystem includes: governance rights (voting on protocol upgrades), staking (supporting the network), and eventually usage as a fee token for transactions on Hemi’s network.
In terms of market activity, pricing data indicates HEMI has traded in the ~$0.06 range per token with a market cap around the tens of millions of USD.
Why It Matters & What to Watch
Hemi occupies an interesting position: by fusing Bitcoin’s security with Ethereum-style programmability, it aims to unlock new use-cases such as Bitcoin-native DeFi, tokenization, and cross-chain asset flows that haven’t been fully feasible before. By listing on Binance, its exposure and accessibility are significantly boosted.
However, the project also comes with risks and factors to monitor:
• Future token unlocks and changes in circulating supply can impact price and market dynamics.
• Real adoption will depend on developer engagement and ecosystem growth: Are there meaningful dApps built on Hemi? Are assets flowing via its tunnels?
• Competitive landscape is crowded: Many Layer-2 solutions and cross-chain protocols are vying for attention, so execution matters.
• Technical complexity is high: Combining Bitcoin node functionality with EVM compatibility and cross-chain tunnels is ambitious.
Conclusion
HEMI stands out as a strategic launch in which Binance plays a central role. For users and traders on Binance, HEMI presents an opportunity to participate in a project aiming to bring Bitcoin into the world of programmable finance. With the backing of Binance and a clear architectural vision, the project has a strong platform — but its long-term success will depend on adoption, usage, and supply dynamics.
