The world’s largest crypto exchange platform by volume is adding support for a new liquidity infrastructure project, causing its native asset to skyrocket.
In a new announcement, Binance says that on May 2nd, it rolled out support for the decentralized omnichain protocol StakeStone (STO).
“Binance is excited to announce the 17th project on the HODLer Airdrops page – StakeStone, a decentralized omnichain liquidity infrastructure protocol designed to transform how liquidity is acquired, distributed, and utilized across blockchain ecosystems.”
The HODLer Airdrops program, which launched in June 2024, rewards those holding Binance’s native asset BNB with crypto based on previous snapshots of their balances.
News of the addition caused STO to explode, as it went from a May 2nd low of $0.118 to a peak of $0.204 just hours later. The digital asset has since retraced and is trading for $0.197 at time of writing, a 64.3% increase during the last 24 hours.
The project’s whitepaper says it aims to solve the issue of liquidity fragmentation within the digital assets industry.
“The fragmentation of liquidity across different chains and protocols across the blockchain ecosystem results in billions of dollars in trapped capital and missed yield opportunities, reducing value creation and ecosystem growth.
Users face complex workflows and high costs when moving assets between chains, while protocols struggle to maintain deep liquidity pools.
StakeStone serves as a foundational infrastructure layer that enables efficient liquidity distribution across the entire blockchain ecosystem. By providing a standardized framework for cross-chain liquidity management, StakeStone empowers both established and emerging networks to access and deploy capital efficiently.”
STO was also a part of Binance Alpha, a wallet feature that started in December 2024. At the time, the crypto exchange said it was “a new platform within the Binance Wallet that shines a spotlight on early-stage crypto projects with the potential to grow within the Web3 ecosystem.”
