Azuki-Backed ANIME Token to Airdrop to Binance Users Ahead of Jan. 23 Exchange Debut

The ANIME token will be used as a gas and governance token for Animechain, its anime-based web3 network set to go live in the first quarter of 2025.

The ANIME token, backed by the Azuki-supported Animecoin Foundation, will be airdropped to Binance users before its official listing and debut on Jan. 23, 2025 at 14:00 UTC.

The Animecoin community token, ANIME, will be making its debut on Jan. 23 across several major exchanges, including Binance. Named after the Japanese pop culture phenomenon, the token will be airdropped to BNB (BNB) holders who subscribed to the BNB Simple Earn products from Jan. 17 to Jan. 20.

ANIME will be officially listed on Binance starting from Jan. 23 at 14:00 UTC. Trading pair support will be available for ANIME against USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY. However, due to its status as a newly launched token, Binance will be adding the seed tag to ANIME.

For the HODLer Airdrop, Binance will be giving away 500 million ANIME tokens, which is around 5% of the maximum token supply. Animecoin will launch on Ethereum (ETH) and Arbitrum (ARB) with 50.5% of tokens being allocated to the community and more than 20% going to the team, advisors and company.

Apart from Binance, Animecoin is also set to list simultaneously on Bybit and OKX on Jan. 23.

What is ANIME in crypto?

ANIME or Animecoin is the native token of the Animecoin Foundation, the community backed by the Arbitrum Foundation and popular NFT brand Azuki. Dubbed the “culture coin of the anime industry,” the Animecoin ecosystem aims to combine original IP works, mainstream distribution, and on-chain infrastructure that will grant the anime fandom the power to further expand itself.

“The Animecoin ecosystem will provide a collaborative environment to democratize content creation. The Azuki IP will be the first of many native anime IPs providing the cultural energy that drives engagement across the blockchain-powered anime network,” the community wrote in a recent X post.

Moreover, Anime.com is set to be the first platform available on the Animecoin ecosystem.

The ANIME token will be used as a gas and governance token for Animechain, its anime-based Web3 network scheduled to go live in the first quarter of 2025. The project will integrate various anime-related content from original and third-party IPs, including games, merchandise, and NFTs.

The Animecoin foundation has prepared a total token supply of 10 billion ANIME tokens and an initial circulating supply of 7.69 billion ANIME.
