The hallmark of a bull market is the accelerated pace of new token launches, and Binance has mastered this art. On March 12, Binance announced its latest Launchpool project: ETHFI, a liquid staking protocol with $30 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL).
Key Highlights:
- Funding: $32.3 million raised.
- Tokenomics: 10 billion total supply, 11.52% initial circulation, with 2% released via Binance Launchpool.
- Timing Unprecedented: ETHFI’s announcement preceded the trading debut of the previous Launchpool project (AEVO)—a first in Binance’s history.
Why ETHFI’s Listing Matters
1. The "Binance Speed" Effect
Binance’s Launchpool projects are synonymous with high returns. Even simple participation (e.g., staking BNB) yields an average 130% annualized ROI. The rapid succession of listings—ETHFI announced before AEVO’s launch—signals Binance’s aggressive push to capitalize on market momentum.
2. Binance’s Preference for Sector Leaders
While Binance Labs has invested in multiple ReStaking projects, ETHFI isn’t among them. Its selection underscores Binance’s strategy: listing category leaders, regardless of investment ties. ETHFI’s #1 TVL in Ethereum ReStaking made it an obvious choice.

3. Imminent Token Launches in ReStaking
ETHFI’s Binance debut could trigger a wave of token releases from high-TVL protocols. Projects like Puffer and Renzo (both Binance-backed) are prime candidates for future listings.
