Binance is in the spotlight again with upcoming token listings that could move markets. There’s a list of around 11 coins expected to be added to Binance in January 2026, including speculative tokens and meme-style projects. New listings historically see big short-term moves because Binance gives them access to a massive user base.
• The broader meme coin theme on the BNB Chain has been strong, with certain community-driven tokens posting huge volume and gains. This “meme season” reflects traders piling into lower-market-cap tokens tied to exchange culture and inside jokes. Recent on-chain data shows BNB-related meme tokens dominating trending lists on decentralized exchanges.
• Not all token activity is organic. Independent analysis points to high volatility and manipulation risk in meme coins. Much of the rapid price action comes from coordinated buys, small liquidity pools being used to inflate prices, and pump-and-dump behavior.
