Binance has established itself as the dominant player in the centralized exchange (CEX) market for crypto airdrops and staking rewards, according to a recent report.
The platform secured an overwhelming 94% of the market share in 2024, collecting $2.6 billion of the total $2.7 billion in rewards distributed during the year. This near-monopoly highlights Binance’s strategic position as the go-to platform for airdrop distribution.
In an effort to further enhance user experience, Binance has announced significant updates to its airdrop services. The exchange is revamping its Launchpool and BNB Earn pages to make participation more accessible and transparent. These changes are part of a broader initiative to streamline access to rewards and educate users on maximizing their benefits.
According to Jeff Li, Binance’s VP of Product, the redesigned interfaces are aimed at simplifying how users engage with token launches while offering more educational resources. The new BNB page will provide real-time updates on airdrops, including from Launchpool, Megadrop, and the HODLer Airdrop program. Additional perks include trading fee discounts, VIP benefits, and a historical rewards overview.
Binance’s HODLer airdrop program, launched less than a year ago, has played a pivotal role in its airdrop dominance. The platform has positioned itself as the primary hub for new projects looking to reward early supporters, making it the preferred choice among users.
These updates come amid Binance’s efforts to address some underlying challenges related to airdrop distribution, as identified in a recent internal review. The company is keen on maintaining its lead while also ensuring user trust and transparency. As the CEX market continues to evolve, Binance’s proactive approach to improving its airdrop system could help solidify its position as the industry leader.
