Binance Lists Midnight (NIGHT) and Launches Airdrop Program

Binance introduced NIGHT through its HODLer Airdrops program and distributed tokens to eligible BNB subscribers. The exchange selected NIGHT as its 61st HODLer Airdrops project during the February snapshot period. Users who subscribed BNB to yield products received NIGHT allocations under the program rules.

Binance then activated spot trading for NIGHT on March 11 across multiple pairs. The exchange opened trading against BNB, USDT, USDC, and TRY on its main platform. Binance Alpha had previously listed NIGHT in December 2025 before the main exchange rollout.

Hoskinson responded to the listing through public remarks shared with the community. He stated that Midnight now stands as the first Cardano-native token on Binance. He added that the listing sets a new benchmark for other Cardano ecosystem assets.

He emphasized that Binance maintains strict listing standards for digital assets. He said the exchange serves more than 300 million users worldwide. He explained that the development validates Cardano Native Tokens in global markets.

Midnight Records Growth in Wallets and Market Activity

Midnight launched in December 2025 and quickly gained traction across major exchanges. The token secured listings on Bybit, OKX, KuCoin, MEXC, and Gate.io shortly after launch. Following these listings, NIGHT reached a $1 billion market capitalization.

Data shows that NIGHT currently holds 57,079 unique wallets within the Cardano ecosystem. This figure reflects a 4.38% increase from 54,682 wallets recorded on March 10. The March 10 date aligned with the Midnight Thaw 2 event.

Midnight Thaw 2 allowed users to redeem NIGHT tokens from the Glacier Drop airdrop. As redemptions progressed, wallet numbers continued to expand across the network. The increase indicates broader distribution ahead of the project’s scheduled mainnet launch.

Market data shows that NIGHT gained 10.08% over the past 24 hours. At press time, the token traded at $0.05406 per unit. Trading activity increased following the Binance listing announcement and spot market launch.
