Coinbase Says It Plans to List BNB amid Binance Listing Fee Saga

Less than 24 hours after a Base builder publicly slammed Binance’s alleged listing policy on X, sparking a heated debate in the crypto community, Coinbase yesterday unexpectedly announced plans to list BNB. Though it’s no longer Binance’s official platform token, BNB — originally Binance Coin — was developed by the exchange, and remains a key asset in its ecosystem.

The drama began on Tuesday, Oct. 14, when CJ Hetherington, the co-founder and CEO of Base prediction market Limitless, shared what he said were Binance listing terms in an X post. The post alleges that Binance — the world’s largest centralized exchange (CEX) by trading volume — asked for roughly 8% of his project’s token supply, broken into allocations for airdrops, liquidity and other marketing activations, for listing on Binance’s Alpha platform, as well as a $2 million security deposit in BNB for spot listing.
