- STO surges 100% hitting a new high of $0.204 following Binance debut
- Binance airdrop boosts STO with 15 million tokens spurring active market participation
- Support and resistance levels key as STO tests $0.21 resistance with support near $0.175
StakeStone (STO) climbed over 100% during the first week of May 2025, hitting a record high near $0.204 shortly after its debut on the Binance exchange on May 2nd.
The token’s price rallied from $0.13 to over $0.21 intraday, driven by a perfect storm of bullish catalysts including a highly anticipated airdrop campaign and expanded exchange access. Trading volume spiked above $85 million, making STO one of the top gainers in the market.
Binance Listing and HODLer Airdrop Fuel STO Demand
The Binance listing introduced STO to a much wider user base with trading pairs against USDT, USDC, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY.
The move was amplified by Binance’s HODLer airdrop of 15 million tokens, allocated to users subscribed to BNB Simple Earn products. The airdrop, which represented 1.5% of STO’s total supply, helped convert passive holders into active market participants, reinforcing buying interest.

STO Breaks Key Resistance on High Volume
From a technical perspective, StakeStone broke decisively above a descending trendline on its 4-hour chart, a line that had previously limited gains since March.
The move pushed price cleanly through previous resistance zones at $0.145 and $0.155, both of which now appear to be acting as support. Accompanying the breakout was a sharp rise in volume, reflecting aggressive buyer participation.
RSI reached 78.50, reflecting strong upward pressure as STO stretched into overbought territory. Price also remains well above the 20, 50, and 100 exponential moving averages, with that cluster anchored between $0.118 and $0.139. Bollinger Bands have expanded rapidly as price presses against the upper band, reflecting elevated volatility and momentum.
MACD continues to show bullish strength, with the MACD line holding above the signal line and histogram bars widening.
May Outlook: Can STO Hold $0.195 or Push for New Highs?
Looking ahead into early May, STO appears to be consolidating on lower timeframes, potentially forming a symmetrical triangle pattern just below the key $0.21 resistance level.
Immediate support might be found near the $0.185–$0.175 area, with a more substantial support zone between $0.155–$0.145.

A breakout above $0.21 could open the door to $0.225 and beyond, while failure to hold $0.175 may trigger a retracement toward $0.13. Traders are watching for a continuation setup above $0.204 or breakdown signals if volume stalls.
