The recent economic indicators have sent shockwaves through Japan’s financial landscape, with the country experiencing severe economic turmoil. Reportedly, Japan’s 40-year bond yield has surged to its highest level in over 20 years, reflecting growing concerns about the country’s fiscal stability. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba warned that the country is experiencing a financial crisis “worse than Greece.” Moreover, Japan’s economy contracted by 0.7%, marking its first quarterly decline in a year. The Japanese stock exchange Nikkei 225 also witnessed a sharp sell-off amid economic struggles and the Moody’s downgrading credit rating for the US. These developments are poised to have profound implications on the crypto market as well. After a strong bull run on Sunday pushed Bitcoin (BTC) over $107k, the crypto markets are witnessing a crash today with BTC, ETH, and XRP dropping 3.2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively, in the past 24 hours. While this crash is not directly… Read More at Coingape.com
Two altcoins, Maple’s SYRUP and Kamino’s KMNO, spiked over 30% after receiving a Binance listing today. Maple Finance and Kamino have been active in the DeFi space for a long time, but their native tokens are rather recent.
KMNO briefly fell below its pre-listing valuation due to profit-taking, but it remains nearly 85% up over the past month. Meanwhile, SYRUP also received a Coinbase listing last week, further boosting demand.
Binance Listings Remain Influential for New Projects
Today, SYRUP and KMNO generally stick with this program, as the listing announcement led to huge rallies.

Maple Finance is a DeFi Institutional Lender that existed for several years before launching its SYRUP token. The project was launched back in 2019, while its native SYRUP token went live last November.
Its DeFi lending platform took off on Solana and Ethereum in 2021, but it’s been comparatively quiet since. Still, recognition has been growing for Maple lately, leading to the Binance listing.
Kamino Finance’s KMNO, the other altcoin to receive a Binance listing, shares a few key similarities with SYRUP. This Solana-based DeFi liquidity protocol also launched years ago, but KMNO first hit the market in April 2024.
Kamino, too, has been gaining notoriety in 2025, and it’s currently considered a major protocol in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.
KMNO technically bucked the Binance listing trend to a certain degree. The token fell just as sharply after its first spike over 20%. For a brief window, its price was lower than its pre-listing valuation, but this bounced back up.
Kamino saw quick corrections after the initial rally, as traders quickly liquidated to take profits, but it remains up 80% in the last month.
In summary, despite KMNO’s minor setback, both of these assets performed within general expectations. Binance’s listings are still very influential.
However, this event did not provide much insight into the exchange’s overall inclinations toward future listings.
Binance listed two DeFi-centric protocols that operate (at least partially) on Solana, with years of operation before a token launch.
Other than that, there aren’t many similarities; both projects have different core functions. Still, it’s useful to have additional data points for Binance listings.
