AI Agent Tokens to Join Binance Futures Lineup

According to an announcement on Saturday, the world’s largest crypto exchange will list the AI agent tokens on its futures platform.

COOKIE futures will begin trading at 11:30 UTC, followed by ALCH 15 minutes later. The SWARMS token futures will start trading at 12:15 UTC. The perpetual contracts for these tokens will have a maximum funding rate of ±2.00%.

Binance also noted that the tokens are already available for trading on the Binance Alpha Market. Binance Alpha is a new feature integrated into the Binance Wallet, showcasing early-stage crypto projects that could potentially be listed on Binance in the future.

The AI agent tokens showed an immediate decline after the futures listing announcement. While ALCH and COOKIE recovered, SWARMS was still down at press time.

This is not surprising, as tokens usually experience a short-term correction following the listing of their futures contracts. It’s because traders can now easily short the token’s perpetual contract.

According to a crypto analysis platform LMK.fun on X, top SWARMS holders have dumped $2 million worth of tokens following the Binance announcement.

“Top SWARMS holders instant dump $2 million after Binance list perp. Binance listing is now officially bearish. Time has changed,” he stated.

Another analyst highlighted that the same thing happened with Fartcoin after it was listed on Binance. However, the token went on to rally strongly in December.

“Study that fartcoin dip when Binance listed it on futures See what happened next? Then repeat that for Griffain, followed by Trisig, followed by Jail, followed by Neur,” the analyst, Kale Abe, noted on X.

Meanwhile, half of the tokens listed on Binance Alpha have shown lower valuations than before the listing. Tokens listed through Binance Alpha have underperformed compared to those listed on Binance’s main platform.
