Binance Resurgence: Unveiling a Generous $500,000 Airdrop and Compensation Bonanza
Buckle up! Binance is gearing up to distribute $500,000 in cryptocurrencies to approximately 1 million users. Simultaneously, the leading crypto exchange has announced a compensation plan for traders holding AEUR, a stablecoin that experienced a depeg from the euro. Here are the details!
Binance’s $500,000 Crypto Drop
After facing significant setbacks, including a $4.3 billion fine from the U.S. Treasury Department and the Department of Justice, Binance is focusing on the future. Without its former CEO, CZ, the company is implementing operations to retain its users.
In a recent publication, CryptoPotato covered the official communication from Binance, shared on X (former Twitter). According to this crypto media, the airdrop plans to distribute approximately $500,000 in cryptocurrencies to about one million users. The assets in question can range from SHIB to BTC, or $44,000. Users have until December 31st to participate and can expect to see their wallets enriched with cryptocurrency gifts two weeks after the announced date.
It’s important to note that Binance requires the use of the newly announced wallet, the Binance Web3 Wallet, to take advantage of this airdrop. The wallet provides secure self-custody of cryptocurrencies and supports the exchange of thousands of assets on more than 30 networks. Users also benefit from quick fund transfers, exploration of dApps, and other important features through this wallet.
Binance also acknowledged its partners in its tweet, including Maverick Protocol, GMX, Gala Games, Kava, Chiliz, Alchemy Pay, and Ludo Finance.
Catch-up Session with Anchored Coins EUR (AEUR)
The AEUR, a stablecoin pegged to the euro recently listed on Binance, experienced a surge in price during its introduction on the spot market. Instead of trading at $1.07, this asset was priced at $3.25 per piece last Tuesday, causing confusion among several cryptocurrency traders.
To rectify the situation, Binance proposes a compensation plan within three days. However, certain conditions, such as holding onto AEUR assets, must be met to qualify for refunds.
Coingape also highlighted that Binance swiftly addressed the AEUR de-peg issue, necessitating the suspension of several pairs associated with this stablecoin (AEUR/USDT, BEC/AEUR, ETH/AEUR, and EUR/AEUR) during the operation.
The team led by Richard Teng, the new CEO of Binance, is working diligently to restore the company’s reputation.
