The official source for Binance announcements is the "Support Center - Latest Announcements" page on the Binance Official Site. The "News" tab on the home screen of the Official Binance App mirrors these in real time, and major announcements also go out through both push notifications and email. iPhone users should install the genuine app first following our iOS installation guide, and then set up notifications. Below, we walk through every announcement channel and the practical ways to make sure you never miss anything.

1. The Main Categories of Binance Announcements

The "Latest Announcements" section on the Binance website is split into eight categories, and beginners should focus on four of them in particular.

The first is "New Listings," with 2 to 6 posted every week covering the timing of new token listings, trading pairs, and whether futures will launch simultaneously. The second is "Delistings and Token Status Changes," which happen less frequently but have the biggest impact — a delisting announcement always comes with a 30-day liquidation window. The third is "Promotion Announcements," covering things like Launchpool, Megadrop, HODLer airdrops, and cash voucher campaigns. The fourth is "Maintenance and Upgrades," posted 24 to 48 hours ahead of time, covering pauses affecting wallets, the matching engine, or a specific blockchain.

The "30-day liquidation window" mentioned in a delisting announcement means: once the announcement goes out, the token stops trading within roughly 7 days, and users still have 30 days after that to withdraw it to their own wallet. After that window closes, withdrawal support is shut off as well.

2. The Four Official Announcement Channels

The first channel is the "Support Center - Latest Announcements" webpage, at binance.com/en/support/announcement. All announcements are listed in reverse chronological order here, and you can filter by category using the sidebar.

The second channel is the "News" tab at the bottom of the app's home screen. This page mixes announcements, official tweets, and short market updates — official announcements are marked with a red "Announcement" tag. If you only want to see official announcements, tap "Filter" at the top of the page.

The third channel is email subscriptions. Under Account Settings - Notification Preferences, check "Marketing Emails" and "Product Updates," and Binance will send delisting, promotion, and security emails based on your preferences, with a delivery rate around 95%. Note: pure transaction confirmation emails cannot be turned off.

The fourth channel is RSS. Binance provides bilingual (Chinese and English) RSS feeds — the address is the announcement page URL with an rss parameter appended (you can find the exact link via the "RSS" button at the bottom of the announcement page). This is useful if you use an aggregator like Feedly or Inoreader.

3. Setting Up App Notifications So You Don't Miss Anything

Open the app and go to "Profile - Settings - Notifications and Reminders." There are four toggles you should check one by one: Account Security Alerts, Price Alerts, Promotion Alerts, and Platform Announcements. We recommend keeping the first two always on, and toggling the last two based on your own interest.

On iOS, you also need to confirm settings at the system level. Go to "Settings - Notifications - Binance" and make sure "Allow Notifications," "Lock Screen," "Notification Center," and "Banners" are all enabled. On Android, check the equivalent settings in your system's notification menu.

If you're worried about accidentally missing something, you can add Binance to your "important notifications" allowlist. On iOS, set Binance as an "Allowed App" within Focus Mode; on Android, set Binance's notification priority to "Urgent" in your system notification settings.

4. Common Pitfalls With Email Subscriptions

Binance announcement emails come from two domains: do-not-reply@directmail.binance.com and noreply@post.binance.com. Gmail, Outlook, and most mainstream email providers deliver these without issue, but some corporate mail servers classify these two domains as marketing email and route them straight to a promotions folder.

The fix is to add both domains to your email allowlist, or click "Not Spam" the first time a Binance email lands in a spam or promotions folder. Another possible issue is your email provider blocking the sender entirely, which requires checking your mail system's "Security Settings" or "Filter Rules."

Binance provides an "Email Preferences" page where you can individually choose whether to receive Launchpool emails or the daily market recap. We generally recommend turning off "Weekly Marketing Digest" to cut down on noise, while keeping "Security Alerts" and "Major Product Updates" on.

5. Using Telegram and X to Cover the Gaps

Binance runs an official announcements channel on Telegram ("Binance Announcements") with roughly 840,000 subscribers. This channel only posts announcements and doesn't take messages, and it's typically 5 to 30 seconds faster than app push notifications. The official X (formerly Twitter) accounts @binance and @binance_zh also mirror announcements, but since X's algorithm can bury posts in your timeline, we don't recommend it as your primary channel.

Third-party monitoring tools like Cryptocurrency Alerting and Token Sniffer can also pick up Binance announcements and forward them to Discord, Slack, or WeChat. These tools are useful for folding announcements into an existing workflow, but their delay can run 1 to 3 minutes longer than the official sources.

6. Don't Miss Announcements Around Key Timing Windows

Delisting announcements are typically posted on Friday afternoon US Eastern time, while promotion announcements tend to go out on Monday and Wednesday. New Launchpool rounds usually open on Tuesday or Thursday, with the announcement posted 48 hours in advance. HODLer airdrop snapshot timing isn't fixed, but the announcement is usually posted 6 to 12 hours before the snapshot.

New listing announcements will note whether "Seed Tag" status applies. Tokens with a Seed Tag are more volatile, and Binance requires users to acknowledge a risk disclosure before trading them.

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I can't find a specific historical announcement on the announcements page — what do I do?

There's a search box in the top-right corner of the announcements page where you can search by keyword. Binance keeps all historical announcements for at least 5 years. If you still can't find it, make sure you're on the correct language version (the Chinese and English versions of an announcement have the same content but may be posted a few minutes apart).

Q: I didn't get a push notification about a delisting on the Binance app — what should I check?

First check whether "Notifications and Reminders - Platform Announcements" is enabled inside the app, then check iOS/Android system-level notification permissions. If both look fine and you still didn't get it, it may be because you don't hold or watch that particular coin — some Binance notifications only go to relevant users.

Q: Why do Binance announcement emails sometimes arrive with a long delay?

Email delays usually come from the recipient's email provider. Gmail typically delays 30 seconds to 2 minutes; some providers can take 5 to 30 minutes. If you need real-time updates, we recommend relying primarily on app push notifications and the Telegram channel, with email as a backup.

Q: What does "snapshot" mean in a Binance promotion announcement?

A snapshot means recording users' asset holdings at a specific fixed point in time, used to determine airdrop eligibility or reward ratios. For example, "snapshot at 00:00 UTC on April 25" means the amount of the target token in your account at that exact moment determines how much airdrop you receive.

Q: How long does "deposits and withdrawals paused" in a Binance announcement typically last?

Routine maintenance pauses usually run 30 minutes to 4 hours, and the announcement will state the expected duration. Chain upgrade-related pauses can run 6 to 24 hours. Binance always posts a "Service Resumed" announcement after maintenance confirming that it's back online, and any deposits or withdrawals initiated before the pause will process shortly after.

Q: Will my assets get force-liquidated after Binance delists a token?

No. A delisting only stops trading — it doesn't affect the tokens you hold in your account. You'll still be able to withdraw them normally to an external wallet for 30 days after trading stops. After that 30-day window, Binance may automatically convert any remaining balance of that token in your account to USDT, following the method described in the announcement.
