Binance Welcomes zkSync (ZK) to Its Platform with Airdrop Bonus

• Binance has announced the listing of ZKsync (ZK).
• The crypto exchange will distribute 10.5 million ZK to an estimated 52,500 users.
• Bithumb also announced the ZKsync listing, supported by the Korean Won Market.

Binance, the leading cryptocurrency exchange, has listed zkSync (ZK), a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum.

The exchange announced the listing to include trading pairs with BTC, USDT, FDUSD, and the Turkish Lira, and coincides with the start of zkSync’s airdrop claims.

Binance has opened its platform for users to deposit ZK tokens ahead of trading, with withdrawals available 24 hours after the listing. Binance’s ZK listing occurs one hour after the start of ZKsync airdrop claims.

Binance used the listing announcement opportunity to address a community concern concerning the ZK airdrop. A segment of the announcement noted the crypto exchange is embarking on a ZK token giveaway exercise. Binance would distribute 10.5 million ZK to an estimated 52,500 users.

According to the announcement, only users who have completed at least 50 ZKsync Era transactions between February 2023 and March 2024, across a minimum of seven months, are eligible for the ZK giveaway program. Additionally, eligible users must not have claimed ZK tokens through the official ZK Nation airdrop.

It is crucial to note that Binance has set the first token airdrop for this exercise for June 25 and would attend to eligible addresses on a first-come, first-served basis.

Seoul-based crypto exchange Bithumb also announced the listing of ZK on the same day as Binance. Effective June 17, the Korean Won Market will support ZK, with deposits accessible only via the zkSync Era network.

Bithumb stated that users can withdraw ZK on the same day as the listing activation. However, the platform will only allow deposits and withdrawals through supported virtual asset exchanges.
