As of August 13, 2025, Toshi (TOSHI) has been listed on Binance Alpha, and users can obtain tokens through an Airdrop. But does this mean that TOSHI will launch on the main Binance site? This article will provide an in-depth analysis based on the latest data and industry trends.
Binance Alpha Launches TOSHI: Airdrop Mechanism and Participation Threshold
On August 1, Binance Alpha officially launched TOSHI and initiated an airdrop event:
- Airdrop Rules: Users holding at least 200 Alpha points can claim 69,349 TOSHI on a "first come, first served" basis;
- Dynamic Adjustment: If the event has not ended, the point threshold will automatically decrease by 15 points every hour;
- Key Limitation: Claiming requires the consumption of 15 Alpha points, and must be confirmed within 24 hours, otherwise the eligibility will be void.
This listing is part of Binance Alpha’s large-scale addition of tokens. On August 10, the platform listed 17 new tokens all at once, including ai.ac (MIA), SuccinctLabs (PROVE), in addition to TOSHI. The Alpha ecosystem has recently performed impressively, with a total market capitalization of $17.41 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $8.83 billion, accounting for 5.7% of the entire crypto market in trading volume (with a market cap share of only 0.45%), indicating high activity and speculative enthusiasm.

Market Reaction After Alpha Launch and TOSHI Status
Although TOSHI has not yet landed on the Binance main site, the endorsement from Alpha has significantly increased its market exposure:
- Expansion of Trading Channels:
- In August 2024, Gate was the first to list TOSHI spot and perpetual contracts, becoming the exchange to discover the value of TOSHI among top exchanges;
- Price and Liquidity Changes:
- The current price of TOSHI is approximately $0.00077, with a market capitalization of $324 million and a daily trading volume exceeding $35 million;
- After Alpha’s launch, the number of active addresses on-chain increased by 20%, and the average transaction size rose by 15%, reflecting short-term capital inflows.
However, as a meme coin in the Base chain ecosystem, TOSHI still heavily relies on market sentiment. Its historical volatility has been severe; for instance, in February 2025, it surged by 8.5% in a single day but subsequently faced correction pressure.
Possibility of Listing on the Main Site: Three Core Influencing Factors
The "Test Field" Role of the Alpha Ecosystem
Binance Alpha is designed as an incubation platform for early-stage projects, and its launch does not equate to listing on the main site. For example, MOMOFUN (MM), which launched concurrently, saw a 252% increase in Alpha weekly but did not enter the main site. The review for the main site focuses more on:
- Long-term ecological value (such as practical scenarios, on-chain data);
- Compliance risks (especially meme coins are susceptible to regulatory impact).
Regulation and Market Environment
The Hong Kong "Stablecoin Regulation" came into effect on August 1, and the Trump administration in the United States postponed tariffs until August 7. Policy uncertainty may delay Binance’s listing decisions for high-risk assets.
Project Progress
The advantage of TOSHI lies in the Coinbase background of the Base chain and derivative applications like NFToshi, but its meme coin nature raises questions about its "insufficient practicality." If it can strengthen ecological tools in the future (such as Toshi Tools) or increase listing chances.
Price Prediction: What is the Potential Increase if Listed on the Main Site?
Based on current data, institutional predictions for TOSHI in 2025 are polarized:
- Conservative Range: $0.00035 – $0.00080 (CoinCodex Model);
- Optimistic Scenario: If listed on Binance’s main site, it could break $0.001, with an increase exceeding 75%.
Historically, the announcement of the Binance main site launch often drives a token’s daily surge of 20%-50%, but one should be wary of selling pressure after the good news is realized.
Investor Strategy Suggestions
- Airdrop Participants:
- Prioritize consuming redundant Alpha points for claims to avoid long-term holding of points (subject to the 15-day rolling rule);
- Traders:
- Pay short-term attention to the support level at $0.00013 and resistance level at $0.00022;
- Rumors of listing on the main site may push up prices, but set a stop-loss at 10%-15%;
- Long-term Holders:
- Monitor the growth of the Base chain ecosystem (such as TVL, number of DApps); if TOSHI’s practical use cases expand, consider phased investments.
Conclusion: Alpha listing is only the "first step"
TOSHI’s landing on Binance Alpha provides liquidity access and exposure resources, but the main site listing still faces stringent tests. In the future, it needs to break through the value bottleneck of meme coins, resist regulatory risks, and prove its ability for continuous ecological development. Investors should rationally view Airdrop opportunities and regard the main site listing as an "excess return option" rather than a certainty event.
