The highly anticipated SOPH token Binance listing is officially live. Sophon’s native token made its debut on Binance and other tier-1 exchanges on May 28, 2025, at 13:00 UTC. This marks SOPH’s first listing and coincides with the project’s Token Generation Event (TGE).
SOPH Goes Live With Binance Alpha Launch
SOPH was launched as part of Binance Alpha, the exchange’s early-access platform for trending Web3 tokens. Users can claim SOPH tokens through an exclusive airdrop campaign by redeeming Alpha Points—Binance’s rewards system for early engagement.
The activity rules and airdrop participation page were also made live on the same day.
SOPH Futures Launch With 50x Leverage
Only 30 minutes after the spot listing, Binance Futures added SOPH to its offerings. Traders can now access up to 50x leverage, giving more flexibility for derivative strategies around the new token.
Tokenomics: 10 Billion Cap With Strategic Allocation
