Binance, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has unveiled the seventh altcoin in its HODLer Airdrop program: Berachain (BERA).
This move comes ahead of its planned listing of BERA, which will be available for trading on February 6, 2025.
As part of the airdrop, users who commit their BNB to Simple Earn products between January 22 and January 26, 2025, will be eligible to receive BERA tokens.
These tokens will be distributed after the subscription period ends. Following the airdrop, Berachain (BERA) will be listed on Binance, with trading pairs available against BTC, USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY, starting at 13:00 UTC on February 6, 2025. The token will also carry the “Seed” label.
The Binance HODLer Airdrops program rewards users holding BNB, with tokens airdropped based on snapshots of their BNB balance.
By participating in Simple Earn’s flexible or locked product offerings, users can automatically qualify for airdrops, as well as rewards from Binance Launchpool and Megadrop initiatives.
