Projects and Current Signals
As Binance’s October 2025 review window approaches, three tokens are drawing attention from traders and compliance teams: Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Trust AI (TA). Their potential for listing hinges on demonstrating real user traction, deep order books, and adherence to regulatory standards.
Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)
This project positions itself as a Bitcoin sidechain, aiming to bring smart contract functionality and faster settlement to the Bitcoin network. Its appeal lies in its promise to expand Bitcoin’s use into decentralized finance (DeFi) and applications, a potential catalyst for growth if it gains adoption.
Hyperliquid (HYPE)
Hyperliquid operates its own Layer 1 blockchain, powering an on-chain perpetual futures exchange known for its sub-second block times and low fees. A significant advantage for its listing prospects is that HYPE is already trading on other exchanges, providing Binance with observable data on daily volume and market spreads to assess its liquidity and activity.
Trust AI (TA)
Focused on decentralized identity for Web3 and AI applications, Trust AI faces a mixed outlook. While it has appeared on Binance Alpha, its launch was marred by a contract flaw on BNB Chain that triggered a 35% price drop. The team’s subsequent buyback of the excess supply has helped manage the situation, but the incident underscores the importance of secure code.
Listing criteria, potential impacts and monitoring
Binance employs a rigorous set of criteria for listing, prioritizing projects with a working product, a publicly known team, active users, and a clean legal history. Tokens already trading on other centralized exchanges or those that integrate with BNB Chain’s ecosystem often have a leg up in the review process.
A Binance listing can provide a significant short-term boost through increased visibility and deposits. However, this price impact often fades unless the project can sustain a growing user base. From a regulatory standpoint, listings may invite greater scrutiny, including requirements for thorough KYC and AML checks.
The case of Trust AI serves as a reminder of the critical need for comprehensive smart contract audits before launch. For all projects, maintaining a treasury fund for potential market support is a key part of risk management.
Ultimately, the decision rests solely with Binance. As the October 2025 review period approaches, the most effective strategy for investors and teams is to closely monitor key metrics: genuine user growth, the results of security audits, and the development of liquid, tight-spread markets.
