Binance has started freezing accounts in response to Alpha airdrops.

Recent developments in the cryptocurrency world have captured the attention of investors. Binance announced that it has started suspending accounts that collected airdrops by violating rules on the Alpha platform. This situation has caused a significant stir in the crypto community, raising concerns about serious penalties for multi-account hunters.

Screenshots shared on social media platforms provide evidence that some users collected the Alpha airdrop through “abusive arbitrage.” Among the highlighted posts, it was noted that a user's balance of 14,457 USDT was frozen, and a debt reflection of 10,525.77 USDT was found. According to Binance’s announcement, these accounts were seeking unfair profits by violating the rules of the Alpha platform.

Content reflected in the community emphasizes that the focus is particularly on “airdrop hunts,” or the activities of collecting rewards with multiple accounts. Such practices have long been a topic of discussion as they can lead to unfair profits by manipulating the incentive mechanisms of projects. Binance’s actions are thought to be a significant milestone for airdrop hunters and for projects seeking to strengthen the ecosystem fairly.

Binance co-founder He Yi attempted to reassure the community in a statement made on social media, expressing that “normal users are not affected.” He Yi noted that the penalties would only apply to accounts violating the rules of the Alpha platform. He emphasized that this development holds critical importance in terms of airdrop distributions, advising investors to be cautious about how the process will proceed.

In the coming days, the road map followed by Alpha and Binance will be closely monitored by investors. Key points to watch include airdrop processes and the security of user accounts.
