DeFi Lending Altcoin Explodes After Binance Announces Surprise Trading Support

The world’s top crypto exchange by trading volume is listing two new decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoins.

According to a new announcement, Binance is listing Maple Finance (SYRUP) and Kamino Finance (KMNO) with a seed tag applied.

“Binance will list Maple Finance (SYRUP) and Kamino Finance (KMNO) and open trading for the following spot trading pairs at 2025-05-06 15:00 (UTC).

New Spot Trading Pairs: SYRUP/USDT, SYRUP/USDC, KMNO/USDT, and KMNO/USDC.”

Binance’s seed tag is a classification for cryptocurrencies that are in their early development stages and may not yet have a fully established product or user base. Said tokens tend to be highly volatile and carry greater investment risks compared to more mature assets.

Maple Finance is a DeFi platform designed for institutional lending, providing accredited borrowers with fixed-rate loans that require substantial collateral. By leveraging blockchain and smart contracts, it aims to enhance transparency and streamline traditional credit markets, with the goal of making borrowing more efficient.

SYRUP has responded positively to the announcement, trading for $0.242 at time of writing, up 42% on the day.

Kamino Finance is a DeFi platform on Solana (SOL) designed to streamline yield generation with automated liquidity management.

KMNO saw less of a boost from the announcement, currently up 3% in the last 24 hours, trading for $0.078 at time of writing.
