Binance Adds Layer 1 Blockchain Vana (VANA) to Launchpool, Enabling Pre-Launch Token Farming

Leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced Friday the addition of Vana (VANA), a Layer 1 blockchain project, to its Launchpool program, allowing users to farm the token before its official listing.

According to the announcement, Vana becomes the 62nd project to be featured on Launchpool. Starting Saturday, December 14, users can lock Binance Coin (BNB) and the FDUSD stablecoin to earn VANA, the project's native token, through airdrops.

Vana Token Details and Launch Schedule

The Vana project enables users to own, govern, and earn from the artificial intelligence (AI) models they contribute to. As part of the Launchpool initiative, Vana has allocated 4.8 million VANA tokens, representing 4% of its maximum supply of 120 million, for distribution among participants.

Once the Launchpool concludes in two days, Binance plans to officially list the token for trading on December 16 at approximately 10:00 UTC. The exchange will be the first to support VANA trading globally.

Binance has announced that VANA will be available in several trading pairs, including VANA/USDT, VANA/BNB, VANA/FDUSD, and VANA/TRY. However, the exchange cautioned that VANA will be listed with a Seed Tag, indicating the potential for higher price volatility compared to other tokens. Binance has advised users to conduct thorough research (DYOR) before investing.

Binance's Recent Milestones

The addition of Vana's native token to Launchpool comes on the heels of Binance achieving a record milestone of $21.6 billion in user deposits this year.

According to the announcement, the company outshined ten other major crypto exchanges by a significant margin of 36%. Together, the exchanges recorded $15.9 billion in deposits.

In 2024, Binance also reached several other milestones, including becoming the first digital asset trading platform to surpass $100 trillion in lifetime trading volumes with the majority of the funds remaining within the platform.

Regulatory Expansions

Binance has been expanding its global footprint throughout the year. In October, the exchange extended its presence to Argentina, earning inclusion in the country's Virtual Asset Service Providers Registry. The company said it secured a spot in the registry after obtaining an operational license from the country's National Securities Commission (CNV).

The expansion marked Binance's 20th regulatory milestone globally, with approvals in countries such as India, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia.

Binance attributed these regulatory achievements to its consistent commitment to compliance. Its compliance program includes robust anti-money laundering (AML) measures and a comprehensive framework to combat the financing of terrorism (CFT).
