Binance has officially announced that its AI token, GAIB (GAIB), will be available on Binance Alpha and Binance Futures on November 19, 2025. With this launch, Binance becomes the first platform to offer GAIB for both spot-style alpha trading and futures trading. This is a huge step forward for the project and its growing community.
The listing will take place in two stages. GAIB trading on Binance Alpha begins at 10:00 UTC and just 30 minutes later at 10:30 UTC, Binance Futures launches the GAIBUSDT perpetual contract with up to 40x leverage. This makes GAIB one of the few new tokens to receive futures listing on the same day of its initial debut.
Binance Alpha will be the first platform to feature GAIB (GAIB) on November 19th.
Eligible users can claim airdrops using Binance Alpha Points on the Alpha event page once trading begins. Further details will be announced soon.

To coincide with the launch, Binance will be rolling out a special airdrop for users who have earned Binance Alpha points. Eligible users can claim the GAIB airdrop on the Alpha event page on the Binance app from November 19th 10:00 UTC to November 20th 10:00 UTC. Binance states that further details will be shared soon and recommends users to follow the official channel for the latest information.
What is GAIB?
GAIB describes itself as a project focused on building an “economic layer” of AI. In other words, GAIB wants to enable real-world technologies such as GPUs, robots, and computers to be transacted and verified on the blockchain. The team believes that one of the biggest challenges in the AI industry today is the lack of a clear market for computing power. GAIB wants to make these assets easier to buy, sell, and use by converting them into digital tokens.
According to the whitepaper, GAIB's system includes several layers that help validate assets, convert them into tokens, and connect computing power to people who need it. The project will also use AID and sAID, two types of tokens aimed at supporting stable liquidity and rewards for users who help fund real-world AI devices.
Earlier this year, GAIB raised $15 million in funding from major investors including Amber Group. The total supply of GAIB tokens is limited to 1 billion, with 40% given to the community and the rest distributed to contributors, investors, and ecosystem growth.

Recent GAIB controversy
Before the listing, a trader named CBB criticized GAIB, saying the project was unclear and some reserve information had been removed from its website. CBB also asked whether the $150 million in reserves claimed by GAIB had been checked by anyone else.
In response, GAIB CEO Kony addressed this claim directly. He said that withdrawals for all users are functioning normally, with more than $100 million available on November 7, the latest program's scheduled withdrawal date. Kony also said that the transparency page was not removed due to preliminary issues, but was being redesigned for the new upgrade.
The CEO further explained that GAIB has so far kept all its commitments, including the liquidity schedule, transition schedule, and full communication to users who participated in the AID and sAID programs. Proof of reserves and USDC redemptions are scheduled to begin on November 21st, and the team says they shared this with users in advance. GAIB also suggested that the accusations may have come from someone connected to a competitor.
final thoughts
The upcoming Binance listing, futures launch, and airdrop are major events for GAIB as we work to build our ecosystem and earn the trust of the crypto community. As more people become interested in AI-related projects, GAIB's first appearance on Binance will likely garner a lot of attention from both traders and long-time supporters.
GAIB was intended to be used for governance, validator security, and access to AI-linked assets in the GAIB economic layer. GAIB wants to connect real-world computing power, such as GPUs and robots, to the blockchain market in a long-term, open, and community-driven way as the ecosystem grows.
