Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has unveiled the 17th project in its HODLer Airdrops program, featuring the StakeStone (STO) coin. Between April 27-29, 2025, Binance users who have invested their BNB assets into Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yields products will be retroactively eligible for the STO coin airdrop. A total of 15 million STO coins will be distributed and deposited in users’ spot wallets at least an hour before spot trading starts. StakeStone will be listed on Binance on May 2, 2025, and will trade against pairs such as USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY.
Details on StakeStone Airdrop
StakeStone’s total supply is 1 billion coins, with 1.5% distributed to users under the HODLer Airdrops program. Additionally, 15 million STO coins are set aside for marketing campaigns to begin three months later. At the start of spot trading, the circulating supply will be 225,333,333 coins, representing 22.5% of the total supply.
To avoid dominance by large investors during distribution, a cap has been imposed; no more than 4% of the total pool can consist of any single BNB holding. Regardless of average BNB balances, any surplus beyond 4% will not be included in calculations. This strategy aims for a fair distribution between small and large investors.
With the start of spot market trading for StakeStone, the STO coin, initially available on Binance Alpha, will be solely on the main platform. Users can make STO investments approximately two hours prior to trading commencement.
Binance’s Passive Income Opportunity Through HODLer Airdrops
The HODLer Airdrops program serves as a passive income opportunity by rewarding Binance’s BNB investors. Participants only need to invest their BNB into Simple Earn (Flexible or Locked) or On-Chain Yields products. Binance monitors user balances with frequent snapshots, using retrospective average amounts for reward calculations.
For instance, snapshots taken from June 1-7 might be used for an airdrop on June 11. Since users are unaware of the exact snapshot dates in advance, staying in the system consistently enhances their chances of gaining rewards. This model is seamlessly integrated with other earning systems like Megadrop and Launchpool.
Rewards from HODLer Airdrops are transferred to users’ spot wallets within 24 hours of the relevant announcement. This allows investors not only to earn by holding BNB but also presents a chance to win additional coins.
