Binance to list Espresso token as seed-label altcoin on Feb. 12

Binance will list Espresso on Spot on Feb. 12, migrate tokens from Alpha within 24 hours, and the listing news has already pushed Espresso’s price higher.

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced plans to list the altcoin Espresso, with trading scheduled to begin on Feb. 12, 2026 at 13:00 UTC, according to a company statement.

Withdrawal services for Espresso will commence on Feb. 13, 2026 at 13:00 UTC, the exchange said. The token will carry a seed label designation, Binance stated.

Espresso will be removed from Binance Alpha when spot trading begins on Binance Spot, the company said. Users will retain the ability to view their Espresso balances in their Binance Alpha accounts and transfer them to their Spot accounts to continue trading on Binance Spot after the removal, according to the announcement.

Binance stated it will transfer Espresso from users’ Binance Alpha accounts to their Spot accounts within 24 hours of the listing.

Binance Alpha functions as a token selection pool during the pre-listing phase, the exchange said. When a project featured in Binance Alpha receives a listing on Binance Spot, the associated assets are no longer showcased in Binance Alpha, according to company policy.

Espresso’s price increased following the listing announcement, according to market data.

Binance’s ecosystem is built around staged token launches, where new coins often debut in products like Binance Alpha, Launchpool, or Launchpad before graduating to full Spot listings with deeper liquidity and more trading pairs. This process lets Binance test demand, manage initial volatility, and integrate tokens into its broader suite of services, including margin and derivatives markets, once they meet internal liquidity, compliance, and risk criteria.
