The Big Event: CZ Live AMA
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is hosting a live AMA session today on Binance Square at 9:00 PM GMT+8.
Context: This follows the successful launch of his new book.
Giveaway: He has announced that 10 signed copies of his book will be given away during the session.
Engagement: The event is expected to cover everything from his recent personal projects to the broader future of the Binance ecosystem.
Earn & Trading Updates
Discount Buy Promo: Launched today (runs until May 15), users can earn up to 50% APR on "Discount Buy" products, which allow for purchasing crypto below market rates or earning high yields.
Flexible Product Boost: Binance Earn is offering up to 8% APR on specific flexible products (like RLUSD) through April 28.
Rebate Program Ending: The Convert Recurring Rebate Program is scheduled to be decommissioned on April 30, 2026. Users currently using recurring buy plans will still have their trades executed, but the rebate incentives will stop after this date.
Token Monitoring Changes
As of yesterday (April 14), Binance has updated its risk tags for several assets:
Monitoring Tag Added: FARM, HIGH, MLN, RESOLV, SYS, TRU, and VELODROME. These tokens are under closer scrutiny for volatility and listing criteria.
Seed Tag Removed: Tether Gold (XAUT) has had its seed tag removed, indicating it has met more stable listing requirements.
Regulatory Context
While not exclusive to Binance, the IRS's mandatory cost-basis reporting for digital asset brokers goes into effect today. This means Binance and other exchanges will be implementing more rigorous data tracking for U.S.-based users to align with traditional security reporting standards.
