Binance distributions new cryptocurrency Toshi to its early users in a promotional move
Binance's latest move, the Toshi (TOSHI) airdrop through its Binance Alpha platform, has set the crypto world abuzz. On August 1, 2025, users with at least 200 Binance Alpha points were given the opportunity to claim 69,349 TOSHI tokens [1][2][3].
Toshi, a meme coin on the Base blockchain, is known for its viral, social-market appeal rather than traditional financial metrics. Binance Alpha's focus on community-driven tokens like TOSHI is a strategic move to stimulate speculative trading and community engagement [5].
The immediate market response indicates heightened engagement as users race to claim tokens, reflecting enthusiasm and potential for trading volume increase. However, the current trading price hovers around $0.00, with a market cap of $216.26 million and a circulating supply nearing 420.69 billion [4].
The airdrop could lead to increased short-term trading volume and volatility, enhanced social and community-driven trading activity, potential challenges in liquidity and price stability, and a shift towards more social media-influenced trading behavior on Binance Alpha [5].

The Coincu research team suggests that this airdrop might prompt sharp short-term fluctuations in Toshi's trading volumes [8]. Furthermore, technological advances in token protocols could capitalize on emerging engagement trends. However, there is a potential for regulatory examinations if trading volumes significantly alter market stability [9].
In conclusion, while the long-term effects of the Toshi airdrop are yet to be fully observed, it is poised to boost speculative trading and community engagement on Binance Alpha, with accompanying risks related to volatility and liquidity typical of early-stage meme coins [5]. Monitoring market activity in the coming months will be crucial to empirically assess these dynamics.
