Binance to List Espresso (ESP) on Spot Market on Feb. 12; Price Jumps After Announcement

• Espresso will start trading on Binance Spot on Feb. 12, moving out of the Alpha program.
• The announcement immediately pushed the token’s price higher as traders reacted.

Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, has confirmed that it will officially launch the Espresso token on its spot trading platform on February 12, 2026, at 13:00 UTC. The token will be carried with the seed label, which means the token is new and may carry high risk and volatility. Withdrawals for Espresso will open one day later on Feb 13 at 13:00 UTC. 

Espresso is available inside the Binance Alpha, which is an exchange’s pre-listing platform before the listing. Once the spot trading begins, Espresso will no longer be in Alpha, and users’ balances in Alpha will be automatically moved to spot wallets within 24 hours. Traders can start buying and selling the token once the transfer is done. 

What is Binance Alpha?

Once Binance introduces the new project, it initially moves into the Alpha, where the environment works like a testing zone, which helps the exchange to monitor volatility, measure the demand, watch the liquidity, and review the risk factors. If the token performs well in Alpha, then it is moved to full spot trading, which actually brings more visibility and high trading volumes for the token.

Following the listing news, the Espresso price moved higher, and traders expect wider access once the token reaches the Binance spot. Listing on the major exchanges usually acts as a short-term catalyst for the newly listed token. 

The Seed label for this token makes the investors more cautious about this new token. It signals that the project is in its early stage of development, and price swings may be large, and risk will be generally high. The listing on Binance shows that the token has already met all the requirements in the Alpha and is set to be ready for the spot trading platform.
