Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has introduced a new Pre-Market Spot Trading service, enabling users to take early positions on selected tokens before their official launch.
According to the platform’s announcement, <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/exchange/binance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a> is the first exchange to offer pre-market trading with actual tokens rather than relying on derivatives, a key distinction from its competitors.

The new service is a collaboration between Binance’s Spot Market and Launchpool, a platform that allows users to stake cryptocurrencies like BNB to earn tokens from new projects. With Pre-Market Spot Trading, users can now trade these tokens before they are officially listed for spot trading. This service allows users to take early market positions on tokens generated exclusively for Binance, which are subject to some limitations, such as withdrawal and deposit restrictions.
Pre-market trading for a token begins once Binance announces its availability, with the trading window closing at least four hours before the token’s official listing on the Binance Spot Market. It is worth noting that only selected Launchpool tokens will be available for pre-market trading.

While other exchanges like Bybit and Coinbase offer pre-market services, they focus on trading through derivatives rather than actual tokens. For example, Bybit’s pre-market spot trading requires users to collateralize their assets, with all trades denominated in USDT, awaiting the actual token delivery. Coinbase International, on the other hand, offers pre-launch trading in the form of perpetual futures contracts, which convert into standard futures contracts once the token is officially launched.
Binance’s system is unique in that users trade real tokens in the pre-market phase. A Binance spokesperson emphasized this by stating that while competitors rely on derivatives for pre-market trading, Binance is the only exchange to offer actual tokens, providing users a more direct form of trading before a token’s official release.
<h3 id="regional-restrictions-and-accessibility">Regional Restrictions and Accessibility</h3>
Despite the global reach of Binance, the Pre-Market Spot Trading service is not available in several regions due to regulatory reasons. Countries like the U.S., Canada, Dubai, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain are currently excluded from this service.
