Binance has announced its 43rd HODLer Airdrop project: HEMI, a modular Layer-2 protocol leveraging Bitcoin and Ethereum. Trading for the HEMI token commenced on September 23, 2025, marking a significant addition to the blockchain sector.
Binance, under the leadership of CEO Richard Teng, conducted the airdrop to BNB holders. The company distributed 100 million HEMI tokens, 1% of the total supply, to users via Simple Earn and On-Chain Yields.
The initiative affects BNB holders who utilize staking features. The airdrop encourages market interactions and enhances the utility of BNB, promoting user engagement in Binance’s services.
Major trading pairs, such as HEMI/USDT, HEMI/BNB, and others, saw significant trades. There was a surge in HEMI’s price by 550% post-listing, demonstrating renewed interests in Layer-2 solutions.
HEMI’s volatile start is consistent with previous Binance airdrops. It reflects traditional trading patterns seen with new utility tokens on major exchanges.
No comments from regulatory bodies like SEC or CFTC on this airdrop exist. This prompts discussions on the protocol’s potential for enhancing scalable, interoperable blockchain networks without regulatory hurdles.
Richard Teng, CEO, Binance, “The HODLer Airdrops information is estimated to be available in 24 hours, and the new token will be distributed to users’ Spot Accounts at least 1 hour before trading starts.” – Binance Official Square Announcement
