Binance has added PLUME, the token from Plume Network, to its spot trading platform. The exchange kicked off trading on August 18, with pairs including USDT, USDC, FDUSD, TRY, and Binance’s BNB.
According to the official announcement from Binance, the listing follows a HODLer Airdrop where 150 million PLUME tokens went to eligible BNB holders.

Plume Network describes itself as a blockchain tailored forreal-world assets (RWA), enabling tokenization and DeFi integration. It supports assets like private credit and commodities, with a pipeline of $5 billion in assets and partnerships with firms such as BlackRock and Apollo.
Currently, Plume self-reports $366 million in total value locked for DeFi. The network’s total token supply caps at 10 billion, with 2.65 billion circulating at launch.
Interestingly, the airdrop to Binance customers accounts for 5.66% of the initial circulating supply. Therefore, investors and traders should expect significant selling pressure in the first days of trading, as these and other airdrop beneficiaries could use the liquidity to realize some profits from the campaign.

Binance listings and token airdrops usually cause the effects we can observe on PLUME. First, an aggressive increase a few hours before the listing, followed by an aggressive drop if the token was airdropped as soon as trading starts.
The next few days will play an important role in PLUME’s price discovery, as supply and demand dynamics balance the bids and asks in different markets. Speculators should proceed with caution.
