Golden Finance News, June 17th: Cryptocurrency trading giant Binance has issued an important announcement. Starting from 08:00 on June 17, 2025 (Beijing Time), it will make significant adjustments to the rules related to Binance Alpha points and trading competitions. This adjustment mainly targets the trading pairs between Binance Alpha tokens, involving multiple aspects such as trading volume statistics, calculation of liquidity pool balances, and rankings in trading competitions.
According to the announcement, the trading volume between Binance Alpha tokens and Binance Alpha tokens will no longer be included in Binance Alpha points. This means that investors’ buying and selling operations between such trading pairs will no longer be able to obtain corresponding points through trading volume. At the same time, the LP (liquidity pool) balance of this trading pair is no longer included in Binance Alpha points. For liquidity providers, the role of their related assets in the points calculation has been cancelled.
In terms of trading competitions, the trading volume of such trading pairs is no longer included in the trading competitions and cannot be used as the basis for ranking. This rule change not only applies to the ongoing trading competition, but also to all future trading competitions. Binance Alpha points are an important indicator for evaluating the activity of users in the Binance Alpha and Binance Wallet ecosystems, and are related to the qualifications of users to participate in activities such as Token Generation Event (TGE) and Alpha token airdrops. Previously, Binance has adjusted its points rules several times. For instance, starting from 8:00 on June 6th (Beijing Time), it was stipulated that only Alpha purchase transactions using Binance Alpha tokens or tokens listed on the Binance spot market are eligible for Alpha trading volume points. Transactions using other tokens are not counted. This rule adjustment for the Alpha token trading pair is expected to have a significant impact on users’ trading strategies. Investors need to re-examine their trading layout on the Binance Alpha platform to adapt to the new rules and maximize their own returns. The market will also closely monitor the subsequent impact of this rule adjustment on the trading ecosystem of Binance Alpha platform and the price trends of related tokens.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the cryptocurrency market, there is a clear divergence in the flow of funds between the US Bitcoin ETF and the Ethereum ETF. According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, today, 10 US Bitcoin ETFs showed a net inflow of funds, with a total inflow of 2,864 BTC. Among them, industry giant BlackRock performed outstandingly, with a net inflow of 2,272 BTC. As of now, BlackRock’s holdings of BTC have climbed to 671,795, which is worth as much as 71.74 billion US dollars based on its current market value.
In contrast, nine Ethereum ETFs suffered net outflows of funds, with a total outflow of 3,748 ETH. Fidelity had a significant outflow from the Ethereum ETF, reaching 3,496 ETH. Currently, Fidelity holds 465,263 ETH, worth approximately 1.22 billion US dollars. The inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs may reflect investors’ optimism about the long-term value of Bitcoin. As the leader in the cryptocurrency market, it is often regarded as a safe-haven asset during market fluctuations. The outflow of funds from Ethereum ETFs may be influenced by various factors such as the recent network upgrade expectations of Ethereum and market competition. The market is waiting to see how the capital flow of the US Bitcoin ETF and Ethereum ETF will change in the future and whether it will affect the price trends of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
