Why do investors believe Coinbase and Binance will list NIGHT soon?

Binance Alpha supports Midnight (NIGHT) through its airdrop distribution. CoinMarketCap data shows that more than 61% of NIGHT’s trading volume comes from Binance Alpha.

As a result, investors believe Binance’s official spot listing of NIGHT is only a matter of time.

Beyond that, some investors also expect Coinbase to list NIGHT. The main reason is the sharp rise in NIGHT’s trading volume in recent weeks.

Coingecko data shows that from its initial listing on December 9, when volume was only $130 million, NIGHT’s spot trading volume surpassed $5 billion by December 23. This level of volume even exceeded the combined trading volume of SOL, XRP, and BNB.

Typically, airdropped tokens see high volume shortly after listing due to selling pressure. NIGHT shows the opposite pattern, as investor accumulation has strengthened over time.

When an exchange lists a high-volume altcoin, it benefits from trading fees generated by that asset. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, estimates that Coinbase could be losing around $20 million per year in trading fees by not listing NIGHT.

With a market capitalization exceeding $1.4 billion, NIGHT currently ranks among the top 75 cryptocurrencies. Investors predict that listings on major exchanges could push NIGHT into the top 20. This scenario would imply a market capitalization of around $10 billion.

Although the price recently corrected from a peak of $0.11 to $0.07, analysts still view this move as a healthy pullback ahead of the next rally.

Additionally, Midnight is planning a series of promotional events in Japan for the first two months of 2026. These events could attract more retail investors to NIGHT.

However, from another perspective, much of this optimism may already be priced into NIGHT. As a result, new listings may not push prices higher, but instead provide liquidity for early buyers to take profits.
