ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL Now Available for Spot Trading on Binance

This action moves the tokens from Binance Alpha to the main Spot Market, though “Seed Tags” will be attached reflecting their newer status and associated risk factors.

Global crypto exchange Binance has opened spot trading for ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL at 14:00 (UTC) today, April 11.

This moves the tokens from Binance Alpha to the main Spot Market, though “Seed Tags” will be attached reflecting their newer status and associated risk factors.

When Can You Trade ONDO, BIGTIME, VIRTUAL?

The pairs will be available for trading at 14:00 (UTC) today, April 11, with these pairs opening: ONDO/USDT, ONDO/USDC, BIGTIME/USDT, BIGTIME/USDC, VIRTUAL/USDT, and VIRTUAL/USDC.

In addition, users can start depositing ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL now. However, the withdrawal service for the tokens will begin tomorrow April 12th at 14:00 (UTC).

From Alpha to Spot: How the Binance Listing Works

Once spot trading begins, buying ONDO, BIGTIME, or VIRTUAL via Binance Alpha will no longer be possible. However, the sell function on Alpha will remain active, allowing existing holders to manage their positions if needed.

Moreover, users can view their token balances in their respective Alpha Accounts and transfer them to Spot Accounts to continue trading on the Spot platform.

For context, Binance Alpha provides early access to certain tokens before they are fully listed on Binance Spot. When a token moves to Spot, it will leave the Alpha section.

Will Trading Bots & Copy Trading Support the New Pairs?

At the time of listing, Binance will turn on Spot Algo Orders for ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL.

Trading Bots and Spot Copy Trading functionality for the pairs will be rolled out within 24 hours of the listing.

For users who manage Spot Copy Trading portfolios, the new pairs can be included by adjusting the [Personal Pair Preference] settings to include these tokens.

Why Do ONDO, BIGTIME, VIRTUAL Carry Binance’s ‘Seed Tag’ Warning?

All three tokens—ONDO, BIGTIME, and VIRTUAL—are listing with Binance’s ‘Seed Tag’. This label marks newer projects that might see larger-than-usual price swings, emphasizing the need for extra caution and good risk handling, especially for less experienced traders.

To trade Seed Tag tokens on Spot or the Margin platform, users must complete a risk awareness quiz every 90 days and accept Binance’s Terms of Use. Seed Tags and related risk banners will be visible on the corresponding trading pages and the Markets Overview section.

Binance warns that trading these tokens may carry higher-than-normal risk due to their recent market entry and potential for price unpredictability. It encourages users to conduct their own research and apply proper risk management techniques.

How Were These Tokens Chosen for Binance Spot Listing?

Out of the tokens that advanced to listing, others remain eligible for future consideration based on ongoing performance reviews and due diligence.

These three tokens selected in this batch of Binance’s “Vote to List” campaign were chosen after multiple factors were evaluated. These included trading demand on Binance Futures and Binance Alpha, community voting results after filtering for spam, historical token performance, and detailed fundamental analysis.
