Binance Alpha Lists YALA Token with Airdrop on July 22

On July 22, Binance Alpha will list YALA Token and open Yala airdrop claims for users holding Alpha Points. Traders can redeem YALA Token via the Alpha Events page once trading begins. The launch follows Yala’s Season 1 airdrop that distributed 34 million YALA Token (3.4% of supply) to eligible Ethereum, Solana and X users after a July 8 snapshot; unclaimed tokens will roll over to Season 2. Yala also unveils YU, a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin powered by its MetaMint cross-chain protocol, allowing instant conversion of native BTC to YU on any EVM chain without wrapping. The project raised $8 million from Polychain Capital and Ethereal Ventures to fund audits, development and ecosystem growth. The Binance Alpha listing boosts liquidity through dedicated pools and streamlines on-chain trading for YALA Token and YU. Traders should research YALA Token’s whitepaper, tokenomics and team, familiarize themselves with Binance Alpha’s features, and apply risk management strategies such as stop-loss orders. This curated listing and airdrop underscore a growing trend in democratizing early-stage crypto investments, though users should prepare for volatility and conduct due diligence.
