BNB Chain Upgrades and Token Delistings Reshape Binance Ecosystem

Binance continues to refine its ecosystem in 2025, with major updates spanning performance upgrades, token listings and removals, and new token launches—all reinforcing its focus on scalability and innovation.

BNB Chain improves speed, slashes fees in H1 2025

BNB Chain has significantly reduced its block time to 0.75 seconds and brought transaction fees down to approximately $0.01. These changes helped the network handle daily transaction volumes peaking at 17.6 million.

Additionally, MEV (maximal extractable value) activity dropped 95%, improving fairness and efficiency. Looking ahead to H2, BNB Chain plans to raise the gas limit to 1 billion, with a long-term roadmap focused on speed, scalability, and native privacy enhancements by 2026.

New token launches and pre-sales hit Binance Alpha

Binance Alpha has listed Hyperion (RION) and announced that Taker Protocol (TAKER), a yield expansion project using the NPOL consensus mechanism, will go live on July 18. In parallel, Binance is preparing a pre-TGE (token generation event) sale for BNB Attestation Service (BAS), a project under BNB Chain Grants and MVB8.

The sale will be available exclusively via Binance Wallet Booster, with a 3 BNB maximum subscription per user. Allocation will be proportional, and unused BNB will be refunded.

First token delistings on Binance Alpha take effect

In a notable shift, Binance Alpha will delist LLM, GNON, NEUR, and TRISIG on July 16 at 13:00 UTC—marking the first token removals from the platform.

However, users will still be able to view or trade the delisted tokens through Binance Web3 Wallet after the deadline. The move reflects Binance’s evolving token curation strategy as it emphasizes ecosystem health and long-term utility.
