Binance Lists LINEA Following Major BNB HODLer Airdrop - Here’s What You Need to Know

Breaking: Binance announces LINEA listing after distributing tokens to loyal BNB holders.

The exchange's latest airdrop rewards long-term supporters while strategically expanding its ecosystem offerings.

Market Impact: Immediate trading volume surge expected as LINEA joins one of the world's largest crypto platforms.

Timing is everything in crypto—unless you're a traditional finance institution, then it's about missing everything.

The program’s size

A total of 720,099,900 LINEA (1 % of the token’s max supply) will be distributed to users who subscribed their BNB to Simple Earn or On‑Chain Yields products between August 25 and August 28, 2025. According to Binance, tokens will arrive in users’ Spot Accounts at least one hour prior to the trading launch.

LINEA carries a total supply of 72 billion tokens, with 21.5 %, over 15.4 billion LINEA, circulating upon launch. Additional tokens have been earmarked for post‑listing campaigns:

• 180 million LINEA allocated for immediate marketing
• 360 million LINEA set aside for release six months later

All reward details and tokenomics are managed under Binance’s HODLer Airdrops program, which uses historical BNB balance snapshots to calculate user eligibility. The mechanism rewards passive holders with no extra steps needed, only BNB subscriptions to Earn or On‑Chain products. Binance also enforces a 4 % BNB holding cap per user to maintain fairness.

With gas-saving Layer‑2 solutions gaining traction, LINEA’s CEX debut backed by retroactive airdrops marks a strategic push to attract both speculative and long-term interest. Binance’s model aligns with rewards seen in earlier campaigns, recall how the Lagrange ($LA) airdrop triggered a 170% rally before hitting Binance Alpha. 

Plus, as Ethereum continues to gather institutional momentum, capital rotation trends highlight growing appetite for Layer‑2 tokens beyond the usual Arbitrum/Optimism realm
