Binance announced its 65th ‘HODLer Airdrop,’ distributing 10 million GENIUS tokens to eligible holders of BNB. This airdrop is called Genius Terminal.
Summary
- Binance will distribute 10 million GENIUS tokens to BNB holders who used Simple Earn or On-Chain Yields between May 11 and 13, 2026.
- Genius Terminal is a multichain trading platform backed by YZi Labs and advised by CZ, with a 1 billion token total supply.

Binance is adding Genius Terminal to its HODLer Airdrop program, marking the 65th project to participate. This program rewards long-term BNB holders with tokens from new projects before they become available for trading on the exchange.
To be eligible, you needed to have BNB subscribed to either Binance Simple Earn or On-Chain Yields between May 11th and May 13th, 2026. Rewards were distributed based on how much BNB each eligible user held and were sent to their Spot Accounts within five hours of the announcement.

What is Genius Terminal
Genius Terminal is a trading platform that works across multiple blockchains, connecting users to decentralized exchanges for both regular and perpetual trading. It currently offers zero fees on certain trading pairs. In January 2026, YZi Labs (previously Binance Labs) invested a significant amount – eight figures – in the project, and Changpeng Zhao (CZ) joined as an advisor. This news caused a huge increase in trading activity, jumping from around $80 million per week to over $2 billion in just one week.
As an analyst, I’ve been tracking the GENIUS token, which has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. It launched in April 2026, and a key part of its distribution strategy is the HODLer Airdrop. This airdrop will release 10 million tokens – representing 1% of the total supply – into circulation, coinciding with its exchange listing.
According to crypto.news, when tokens are distributed through HODLer Airdrops, their price often changes quickly. This happens because people receiving the tokens decide whether to keep them or sell them right away. Recently, SAPIEN’s price more than doubled in a single day after being included as the 57th project in the HODLer Airdrop series.
This program benefits both Binance and its users. It encourages people to hold onto and ‘stake’ their BNB tokens for a longer period, while also giving promising projects built on BNB Smart Chain a platform before they officially launch. The recent selection of Genius Terminal, following a previous airdrop featuring the AI network Gensyn, indicates Binance is actively seeking out and supporting projects focused on artificial intelligence infrastructure.
As a crypto investor, I’m keeping a close eye on GENIUS after the HODLer distribution. The exchange hasn’t said if it will fully list GENIUS for spot trading, but usually, with past projects like this, they’ve started spot trading within a day of the airdrop being announced, so I’m hoping for the same here.
