On August 29, 2024, Binance caused a stir in the crypto community with a cryptic "BNSOL" tweet that sparked speculation of a possible new partnership with Solana.
The intrigue deepened when Binance followed up with a “Coming Soon” message hinting that something was coming soon, fueling the curiosity of enthusiasts. Shortly after, Bitget, another major exchange, repeated Binance’s move with a similar tweet, intensifying the hype.

The short and vague tweets led to various theories in the community. Some speculated that Binance and Bitget might be planning to launch a new token in collaboration with Solana, while others thought a new liquidity product could be on the horizon.

Bitget’s subsequent tweet offered some clarity, suggesting that the focus may not be on launching a new token, but rather on introducing a product centered around Solana.
Some enthusiasts then found a page showing statistics for “Binance Staked Sol” (BNSOL), indicating that Binance and Bitget may be collaborating on creating staking pools for Solana.
This potential product could revolutionize staking by allowing users to stake their SOL tokens without the usual lock-in periods, retaining full control of their assets while earning rewards.
