Who are the First Recipients of BNB Chain’s $100M Liquidity Support?

BNB Chain has announced the first batch of projects selected for its $100 million Liquidity Program, a major initiative aimed at boosting liquidity for BNB-native tokens on centralized exchanges. 

Five projects—BANANAS31, Mubarak, Broccoli (714), Tutorial (TUT), and KiloEX (KILO)—have qualified for liquidity support, with funding ranging from $290,000 to $510,000.

The initiative, launched on March 24, aims to enhance trading depth and visibility for projects within the BNB Chain ecosystem. The network is allocating BNB incentives to projects that successfully list on any of 11 major centralized exchanges (CEXs), including Binance, Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, and MEXC.

Who Made the Cut?

BNB Chain emphasized that the selection process was rigorous and thorough. The five projects that qualified for the first batch of liquidity support include:

• BANANAS31 – Up to $510,000 in liquidity support for listings on Binance and Bitget
• MUBARAK – Up to $500,000 in liquidity support for Binance listing
• BROCCOLI (714) – Up to $500,000 in liquidity support for Binance listing
• TUTORIAL (TUT) – Up to $500,000 in liquidity support for Binance listing
• KILO – Up to $290,000 in liquidity support for listings on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC, Gate, and KuCoin

BNB Chain described this as just the beginning, encouraging other projects to apply if they meet the eligibility criteria.

How Does the Liquidity Program Work?

BNB Chain’s Liquidity Incentive Program is designed to bootstrap liquidity for ecosystem projects by providing financial backing in BNB tokens. The goal is to incentivize exchanges to list BNB Chain-native tokens, increasing their market reach and accessibility.

To qualify for the program, projects must meet strict requirements, including:

• A minimum $5 million market capitalization
• At least $1 million in daily trading volume
• A successful listing on one of the 11 designated CEXs

Liquidity rewards vary depending on the exchange and project status. The largest rewards, up to $500,000, are reserved for projects that secure listings on Binance or Coinbase. In some cases, rewards come in the form of non-withdrawable BNB liquidity, while in others, they include direct purchases of project tokens to facilitate two-sided liquidity.

Why This Matters for the BNB Ecosystem

This $100 million liquidity initiative follows two smaller pilot programs earlier this year, where BNB Chain allocated $4.4 million to support CEX listings for memecoins and ecosystem projects. The success of those trials paved the way for this larger, more structured three-month incentive program.

The program is expected to:

• Enhance liquidity for BNB-native tokens
• Attract more traders and investors to the ecosystem
• Strengthen the network’s presence on major exchanges

By providing direct liquidity support, BNB Chain aims to create a more robust trading environment and ensure that its projects can compete with established tokens on major platforms.

What’s Next?

BNB Chain has made it clear that this liquidity program is ongoing. More projects will be selected based on their market performance, trading volume, and exchange listings. The program operates on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning that eligible projects should act quickly to secure funding.

For teams building on BNB Chain, this initiative presents a unique opportunity to scale liquidity, attract investors, and gain broader exchange visibility. As the ecosystem continues to expand, this liquidity program could play a key role in shaping the future of BNB Chain’s token economy.

With the first batch of recipients now confirmed, all eyes are on how these projects will leverage their liquidity support and what impact this will have on BNB Chain’s growing ecosystem
