Three airdrop campaigns ran on Binance Alpha this week alongside the platform's first RWA integration via Ondo tokenized securities. The broader crypto market dropped to $2.28T, down 2.94% in 24 hours, as macro pressure and a Fear &amp; Greed Index reading of 16 weighed on sentiment. Binance Alpha's market cap reached $13.55B, up 3.82%, with 24-hour trading volume up 13.11% to $4.95B.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/ce830b44e8fd4aa49bf603d9e2cb7431.png"><h2 id="tl-dr">TL;DR</h2><ul><li>Crypto market cap: $2.28T, down 2.94% in 24h | Fear &amp; Greed Index: 16 (Extreme Fear)</li><li>Binance Alpha market cap: $13.55B (+3.82%) | Trading volume: $4.95B (+13.11%)</li><li>Fabric Protocol (ROBO) launched today with a 245-point threshold, 888 ROBO tokens per claim</li><li>Ondo tokenized securities are live on Alpha since Feb. 24, 10 assets at launch, fees as low as 0%</li><li>Sentio Booster Program started today, 61+ points required, 25M ST total pool</li><li>Second-wave airdrops ran for Everlyn AI (LYN) at 256 points and SUPERFORTUNE (GUA) at 256 points</li><li>Union (U) led the week at +325.56% (7d); Power Protocol (POWER) followed at +271.59%</li></ul><h2 id="market-overview">Market Overview</h2>The crypto market dropped 2.94% to $2.28T this week, tracking an 82% correlation with the S&amp;P 500 as shifting interest rate expectations triggered a broad risk-off move. Approximately $76.55M in BTC longs were forcibly closed, and total open interest fell 7.33%, meaning overleveraged traders getting flushed out amplified the sell-off beyond what spot selling alone would have caused.The Fear &amp; Greed Index sits at 16, up from 12 last week but still in Extreme Fear. Funding rates are negative, meaning traders are actively paying to hold short positions. Bitcoin is sitting at $66,296 support; a break below opens a path toward $60K, while a close above $68,027 signals a short-term recovery.Social sentiment reads 5.03 out of 10 despite the Fear &amp; Greed reading of 16. Optimism around U.S. crypto legislation is keeping narratives alive but hasn't translated into buying. Price follows positioning, not headlines, and the positioning right now is bearish.<h2 id="binance-alpha-platform-snapshot">Binance Alpha Platform Snapshot</h2>Alpha's volume rising 13.11% while the broader market contracted 24.12% marks a 37-percentage-point gap. Three simultaneous airdrop campaigns and a new token listing created participation demand that held volume up through a week in which most of the market was pulling back.<h2 id="this-week-on-alpha-launches-and-airdrops">This Week on Alpha: Launches and Airdrops</h2>Fabric Protocol (ROBO), live today, Feb. 27: Binance Alpha is the first platform to list ROBO, with trading opening at 8:00 a.m. UTC. Users with at least 245 Alpha Points can claim 888 ROBO tokens on a first-come, first-served basis. The threshold drops by 5 points every five minutes if the pool isn't fully claimed, and confirmation is required within 24 hours on the Alpha Events page. Claiming costs 15 Alpha Points.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/85ca5af135344a8b90a7fd0e5caf7ec0.jpg">Sentio Booster Program starts today, Feb. 27: Users with 61+ Alpha Points can join Phase 1 for a share of 3 million ST tokens from a 25 million ST total pool. Participation deducts 5 points. Tokens are subject to a lock-up period set by the project team.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/d51fdd31c61b4336951cd738245bfa9e.jpg">Everlyn AI (LYN), Second wave, Feb. 25: Threshold: 256 points | Allocation: 95 LYN tokens | Cost: 15 points | 24-hour confirmation window.SUPERFORTUNE (GUA), Second wave, Feb. 24: Threshold: 256 points | Allocation: 200 GUA tokens | Cost: 15 points | 24-hour confirmation window.The Sentio threshold at 61 points is notably lower than any other campaign this week and lower than recent weeks generally. The booster format appears designed to widen participation rather than restrict it to high-activity users. Running it alongside a 245-point launch event on the same day gives users at different points levels something to participate in simultaneously, which likely contributed to the volume gap with the broader market.<h2 id="ondo-tokenized-securities-rwas-come-to-alpha">Ondo Tokenized Securities: RWAs Come to Alpha</h2><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/a71e8b92b7a649f297333bc82205f35f.jpg">On Feb. 24, Binance Alpha added 10 Ondo tokenized securities, giving users on-chain price exposure to traditional stocks and ETFs using CEX funds directly through the platform. Trading fees go as low as 0%, gas fees are waived for a limited period, and holding or trading these assets earns Alpha Points. Both market and limit orders are available.These are structured products under FSRA regulations. They track the price performance of underlying assets but do not grant shareholder rights like voting. This is on-chain price exposure to traditional markets, not equity ownership.The broader significance is what it signals about the platform's direction. Alpha has operated primarily as a token discovery and airdrop platform. Adding regulated RWA exposure alongside early-stage listings is a meaningful expansion of what the platform offers. The zero-fee window is time-limited, so it represents the lowest-friction entry point to test the product before standard fees apply.<h2 id="top-gainers">Top Gainers</h2>(7-Day)<ul><li>Union (U): +325.56% (7d) | +354.32% (24h) | $0.003791 | Market Cap: $7.27M | Volume: $3.75M (24h)</li><li>Power Protocol (POWER): +271.59% (7d) | -14.91% (24h) | $1.43 | Market Cap: $302.35M | Volume: $59.82M (24h)</li><li>Taker (TAKER): +134.63% (7d) | +46.30% (24h) | $0.01176 | Market Cap: $2.00M | Volume: $1.68M (24h)</li><li>siren (SIREN): +65.38% (7d) | -33.45% (24h) | $0.3593 | Market Cap: $261.90M | Volume: $35.29M (24h)</li><li>River (RIVER): +43.17% (7d) | +1.78% (24h) | $11.10 | Market Cap: $217.69M | Volume: $41.41M (24h)</li><li>SUPERFORTUNE (GUA): +44.23% (7d) | -11.02% (24h) | $0.2197 | Market Cap: $27.47M | Volume: $252.30M (24h)</li><li>Reservoir (DAM): +37.50% (7d) | +7.05% (24h) | $0.02479 | Market Cap: $4.96M | Volume: $860,526 (24h)</li></ul><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/66cfd688977c4e7b919dd4be06c07245.png">Union (U) posted +325.56% on a $7.27M market cap. At that size, thin liquidity does most of the work. A relatively small amount of buying pressure moves the price dramatically, which means the reversal risk is equally sharp and fast.Power Protocol (POWER) is a different profile entirely. A +271.59% weekly gain with a $302M market cap and $59.82M in daily volume carries more substance behind it than the micro-caps above it on the list. The -14.91% 24-hour pullback after a 271% weekly run is consistent with normal profit-taking rather than a structural breakdown.SUPERFORTUNE (GUA) ran a second-wave airdrop this week, which explains a significant portion of the $252.30M in 24-hour volume against a $27.47M market cap. Airdrop mechanics generate participation volume that doesn't always reflect organic price discovery, and that distinction matters when reading the numbers.<h2 id="trending-now">Trending Now</h2>(24-Hour)<ul><li>Venice Token (VVV): +5.78% (7d) | +22.89% (24h) | $4.87 | Market Cap: $215.63M | Volume: $31.09M (24h)</li><li>Union (U): +326.06% (7d) | +354.86% (24h) | $0.003796 | Market Cap: $7.29M | Volume: $3.75M (24h)</li><li>Folks Finance (FOLKS): +4.75% (7d) | +17.73% (24h) | $1.41 | Market Cap: $17.31M | Volume: $8.55M (24h)</li><li>BUILDon (B): +21.67% (7d) | +17.56% (24h) | $0.1613 | Market Cap: $161.32M | Volume: $8.32M (24h)</li><li>Humanity Protocol (H): -25.80% (7d) | -13.08% (24h) | $0.1189 | Market Cap: $299.29M | Volume: $154.28M (24h)</li><li>CROSS (CROSS): -4.17% (7d) | +8.66% (24h) | $0.1035 | Market Cap: $34.72M | Volume: $5.39M (24h)</li><li>Stable (STABLE): +17.67% (7d) | +5.82% (24h) | $0.03620 | Market Cap: $637.16M | Volume: $1.74B (24h)</li></ul><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/bdee090b400a4b68b9f30d308bcdc4c8.png">Stable (STABLE) generated $1.74B in 24-hour volume on a $637M market cap, a 2.73x daily turnover ratio and the highest volume figure on this list by a wide margin. Positive price action across both the seven-day and 24-hour windows alongside that volume level is a more reliable signal than a single-session spike on low liquidity.Humanity Protocol (H) drew $154.28M in daily volume while posting losses on both timeframes. High volume on a declining token at a $299M market cap points to active distribution. The traffic is real, but it reflects selling pressure, not accumulation.Venice Token (VVV) appeared on last week's gainers list and is still trending this week with a +22.89% 24-hour move. Tokens showing consistent presence across consecutive weeks carry more weight than single-week appearances, particularly in a market where most tokens are moving with macro rather than on their own fundamentals.<h2 id="most-visited">Most Visited</h2>(7-Day)<ul><li>Rainbow (RNBW): -6.30% (7d) | -6.65% (24h) | $0.01939 | Market Cap: $4.07M | Volume: $2.09M (24h)</li><li>pippin (PIPPIN): +26.55% (7d) | -27.88% (24h) | $0.6244 | Market Cap: $624.45M | Volume: $83.24M (24h)</li><li>MYX Finance (MYX): -58.12% (7d) | +23.89% (24h) | $0.4844 | Market Cap: $121.83M | Volume: $56.47M (24h)</li><li>Power Protocol (POWER): +270.83% (7d) | -14.76% (24h) | $1.43 | Market Cap: $301.66M | Volume: $59.79M (24h)</li><li>River (RIVER): +42.22% (7d) | +2.38% (24h) | $11.05 | Market Cap: $216.59M | Volume: $41.30M (24h)</li></ul>Three of the five most visited tokens this week are down on the seven-day chart. In an Extreme Fear environment, visit traffic concentrates around losses, not opportunities. Users are monitoring positions they're already in, not researching new entries.MYX Finance is the sharpest data point in this section: down 58.12% on the week, up 23.89% in the last 24 hours, and among the most visited tokens on the platform. A single-session recovery of that size after a 58% weekly loss doesn't confirm a trend change. It confirms that people are watching it very closely.Pippin (PIPPIN) gained 26.55% on the week but gave back 27.88% in the last 24 hours on $83.24M in volume. The weekly gain is real, but the intraday reversal at this scale suggests the move is under pressure at current levels.<h2 id="how-to-participate-in-binance-alpha">How To Participate in Binance Alpha</h2>Participation in Binance Alpha revolves around the Alpha Points system. Points are earned by holding or trading eligible tokens, with only the last 15 days counting toward eligibility. This rolling window rewards consistent activity rather than one-time accumulation.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/ee17f027fc6d401faf4c8958902ecc74.png">Earning Alpha Points:<ul><li>Hold or trade eligible Alpha tokens on the platform</li><li>Stay active to maintain your points balance</li><li>Points earned more than 15 days ago don't count toward current eligibility</li></ul>Participation Steps:<ol><li>Earn Alpha Points through holding/trading eligible Alpha tokens</li><li>Monitor announcements on Binance News and the official X account for upcoming events</li><li>Redeem points on the Alpha Events page when new projects launch</li><li>Confirm claims within 24 hours to secure your allocation</li><li>This week's thresholds ranged from 61 points (Sentio Booster) to 256 points (LYN, GUA), with most events consuming 15 points per claim</li></ol>The Auto-Decrease Mechanic: If a pool isn't fully claimed, the required score drops by 5 points every five minutes. If you're just under the threshold when a campaign opens, waiting briefly can bring the requirement down to your level before the pool empties.Staying Updated: Requirements change with each project. Follow<a href="https://www.binance.com/en/news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Binance News</a>,<a href="https://www.binance.com/en/square" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Binance Square</a>, and<a href="https://x.com/BinanceWallet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Binance's X account</a> for the latest criteria and participation windows.<h2 id="what-you-should-do-now">What You Should Do Now</h2><ul><li>Keep your Alpha Points balance healthy. The rolling 15-day window means gaps in activity hurt your eligibility fast. Consistent holding or trading beats last-minute accumulation every time.</li><li>Check the Alpha Events page regularly. Campaigns open and close quickly, and missing the 24-hour confirmation window means losing your allocation entirely.</li><li>Watch Bitcoin's key levels. The broader market is under pressure. How BTC responds around current support will set the tone for Alpha tokens in the near term.</li><li>Read lock-up terms before claiming. Some campaigns, like the Sentio Booster, come with project-imposed lock-up periods. Know what you're committing to before spending points.</li></ul>
