Leading Global Cryptocurrency Trading Platform, Binance, Announces Planned Integration of Popular Retail Altcoin on Binance Alpha.
On May 28, 2025, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, Binance, is set to debut support for Sophon (SOPH), a trailblazing entertainment-focused blockchain, on its early-access platform, Binance Alpha. Binance Futures will also launch a SOPHUSDT Perpetual Contract with up to 50x leverage on the same day.
Sophon, a layer-2 scaling solution designed for the entertainment industry, aims to foster widespread blockchain adoption by integrating it into everyday activities such as gaming. The project is built using the ZK Stack, utilizing advanced zero-knowledge proofs to ensure seamless interoperability with other ZK chains while maintaining Ethereum's mainnet security.
As part of Binance's HODLer Airdrops, users have an opportunity to earn SOPH tokens through retroactive BNB Simple Earn subscriptions. Those with a score of 195 or higher can claim 1,250 SOPH tokens starting on May 28, 2025.
Following its debut on Binance Alpha and Spot, Sophon plans to expand its presence on other platforms. The native utility token, SOPH, is used for gas fees and validator reward distribution.
Binance's announcement marks a significant step in promoting the mainstream use of blockchain technology. Sophon's zk-based design and focus on entertainment industry integration could pave the way for increased adoption of cryptocurrencies and blockchain applications beyond the existing crypto-native audience.
