You probably have an active referral who has been buying and selling lots of assets. I’ve also been receiving many shitcoins for years now and they are all dust from my referrals. When I convert these dusts to bnb or ltc though, they make a good chunk of money. I think I get ~$50 monthly from those referral income at binance which is pretty decent imo. It is more than enough to pay a bill or two. Be grateful and make a good use of that dust income.

This is definitely it. I did promoted my referral link years ago and do have some referrals. This sure is the source of the many tokens I got. Thanks.

That is most probably the reason behind it because even if you were getting tokens or coins from somewhere, the some would barely be around $50 or something that you mentioned. Small airdrop distributions wouldn't give every user that much money because Binance has a vast user base and they wouldn't be able to distribute that much money to every single user.

I have a relative who often tells me that he receives small amounts of tokens from somewhere in his Binance account, he doesn't know where they are coming from, but after every couple of weeks, his account tends to have about a dollar or two which is all from these small amounts of tokens received. I tried to find out the reason but couldn't find anything in history.

There are several ways to determine and find out how you received those assets if they mean something to you. You can start by checking the email address linked to your account as you may have received messages of each drop or deposit, and there are many reasons for why you might receive those tokens. However, the most likely explanation is that one or more friends whom you referred through your referral link have been trading and using, because many other users never received those tokens for free or even for activities. This is especially since you received NOT coin, which is a recently listed token and you mentioned that your account has been unverified and inactive for a few years so it’s impossible to be a free drop.

Yes, that is the most acceptable possibility at the moment. If it is from an airdrop, he will definitely get a deposit notification or something in the email. But if not, the most likely possibility is from an account that registered from his referral.
I don't know for sure, but does Binance share a commission of a few percent in the form of traded coins or USDT from users who use his referrals?

I've not used Binance for years due to the challenge I had in verifying my account. So today I dcided to log in and checked my assets and saw an unexpected value. On a closer scrutiny. I noticed that I now have dozens of assets that I never bought before, even the recently launched Notcoin, PEPE and others. Am I missing something?

Yeah referrals are a sort of an income. I had some from the very early days of binance, and I mean like literally when they were just starting out during those ICO times, and I had a lot of course but only a few left these days, most left and started another, I suppose from friends and family so they would help each other out. However, there are still like just a few, like just 4-5 people and I have to say we are talking about something which is benefiting a ton for us and I am making a great income from this.

By great, I mean like 20-30 dollars a month but I love it more than anything else because I do absolutely nothing for it and still make money at the same time. This is my dream, I want to make money by not working, which I am sure dream of many people.

I can't talk about specific coins neither, but do you have an affiliate? I constantly keep getting small dusts because I have some affiliates who registered under my name and they keep trading and I get small amounts from their trades as well. I am guessing we are talking about small trades that your affiliates made becoming more and more with time.

You are saying it has been years since last you checked it, which I assume is the reason why you are getting it right now. There is nothing else that comes to my mind why you would have such results, we could guess something else if anyone else knows any reason why this would happen but I am guessing there is only one reason and affiliate could be the only one.

If you want to withdraw, just open the 2fa and you will do fine, google has auth app, I use that and can say very easy to use and never had any issues with that one. Keep grinding some other way and do not withdraw your money and keep it in binance if you ask me, long term holding is the best.

I have had an account on Binance for about 7 years and during this time I cannot recall that the exchange distributed airdrop without any obligations. In order to qualify for airdrop, it is necessary to staking tokens.

It's honestly unheard of, even if there's some ongoing event, speaking from my extensive experiences of following some of Binance's event, they always require people to subscribe and do something.
it could be that some people made a mistake and did internal transfer and coincidentally using your account UID but such case can also be detected from the deposit history.

even if it's retroactive airdrop, binance usually requires onchain interaction using their web3 wallet as well.

maybe you're just lucky and binance just feels like giving some money to their users, who knows.

Binance doesn’t airdrop any newly listed coin to anyone. Those coins that you claimed you received were they really much or did you receive just a little quantity? Maybe you were holding some coins before you stopped making use of Binance, and Binance decided to reward you for holding those coins, or did you participate in any airdrop and you decide to submit your Binance wallet? If Binance will be rewarding their customers with newly listed coins, then they will be rewarding their active customers and not inactive customers, so maybe you did something for those coins you received, and they didn’t just give you the reward.

If these earnings are from Referral program, you can see it in your account and can check where it comes from: from a user, and how much earning from it too.

There are many different programs on Binance for those who staking their BNB and FDUSD. Obviously, you are a member of the Binance Earn program. I can assume that these tokens received are part of the reward for participating in the launchpool.

This will only be possible if your account have been verified. Which means it was verified.

I want to ask, have you ever given someone your binance referral code or link to use in creating their account? If you have, that means the source of your fund could be because some of your referrals have traded any of those coins that you received. If not, then it could also be just airdrop from binance.

If you want to knows the source of the funds, go to the notification centre on your binance account and check for your wallet notifications. You can see the image below.

Didn't think of that! Does it work that way that if you have some referrals the project gives you out some dust now and then even when the drop was concluded, like a year ago?
Thanks for your point and experience!

If it was just one or two different coins that you received, it might have possibly been an internal transfer that somebody sent, either by mistake or on purpose. Dozens of assets is much harder to explain. A possible theory is that an airdrop sybil attacker misconfigured a script and is sending some of their rewards to your deposit address. As long as Binance hasn’t frozen your account or asked for provenance of these tokens there is no harm in selling them and withdrawing your profits.

That sybil is either too smart or too dumb for his own good Grin

Nevertheless, it does seem like somebody did a whoopsie, and I think it would be alright to do what you said.

They do drop, but not to active users in my understanding. And if you log in after years, you should be getting a notification about expired verification. Notcoin and PEPE drops should not even be a big value, and I doubt you got them without any activity. I know, cause I didn't get any Not Wink

In fact, non-verified accounts are withdrawal only... so I guess you were verified after all?

Very odd.

Yeah, there won't be a life change even if they would drop from time to time.
Though, the situation itself is interesting and odd, as you said.

I trade since 2020 on Binance and I am very active, trading with thousands of dollars and have never received any airdrop or reward other than 0.01 USDT or Binance's 100 USDT Fee voucher. Are you sure that you are really using a Binance and that's not a phishing website? Did you check the activity log of how you got those coins and if someone was logging in on your account? Binance lets you to check every detail and please do that because those coins don't get magically deposited on your balance and Binance doesn't give away such rewards, especially on non-active accounts.

I already made a BNB withdrawal so it's not a phishing site. I'm trying to figure out where to find the activity log. Any idea where to find it? I don't want to contact their support because I want these tokens to keep dropping in.

Not as far as I know, unless you were eligible for some airdrop by holding certain assets but I don't believe that's the case here, not for PEPE at least.

You should be able to find where the funds came from regardless though. Make sure to check your different "history" pages to see.

This is what i do have in mind too on which they wouldnt really be giving out any assets not unless if you have stake a particular coin for you to be eligible on getting some coins or simply with having those BNB's
that you would be tending to put it on and this is the moment or time that you will be getting those tokens/coins on whatever they are really that offering or available. If you do have that account that
hadnt been logged in for so long and recieving those tokens without doing something then that would really be that odd. Just like been said that they wont really be giving out something for free without
doing something. So just like been said that there might be someone who passes up those tokens externally. You could be able to trace it up easily.

Well i cant blame you for being a bit surprised to see random assets like Notcoin and PEPE in your Binance account. Its actually uncommon Binance doesn’t usually just drop coins into accounts for no reason, so here are a few things that might explain it:

Airdrops: Sometimes projects send out free tokens (called airdrops) to users, which could be why these coins appeared.

New Listings: Binance often adds new coins to the platform, and you might have received some as part of a promotion or incentive.

Account Updates: If it’s been a while since you used your account, Binance may have updated its policies or given out new assets as part of a verification process.

To figure this out, you could:

Check Binance Announcements: They might have posted about any recent airdrops, listings, or promos.

Look Through Your Account History: There could be some transactions or deposits you’re not familiar with.

Contact Binance Support: They should be able to tell you exactly why these coins are in your account.

That should help you understand how these assets got there and what your next steps are!

I have noticed this too but if does not just happen without holding some coins on the exchange. I remember holding some few BNB as I love transfering any small value that I have left in my account to BNB after I am done trading for the week or months. It is not much but free dollars as I know the risk of holding large amounts of money on centralized exchanges. I had BNB and received some tokens but they are not always worth that much, at times I do not bother trading or holding them but just covert all back to BNB. If you also own some other coins that the airdrop tokens are operating on their blockchain especially the new layer 1 coins that are beginning to become popular, you get the new airdrop coin launching. Example holding TON could get you some airdrop on the ton blockchain.

I'm a Binance user but not from the beginning just a few years ago maybe list a range in 2021, but never got any coins like what you experienced.

I would like to know where the coin came from was it from a campaign? You can probably look from the history and see if it was in the “distribution” sender?

It does say "required" so it should be mandatory. This is understandable though, and almost every exchange out there is now following the same footsteps. No one wants to deal with users complaining about their accounts getting hacked.

But if it is mandatory, it's easy to set up 2FA for your account, withdraw your BNB and you can even abandon that account forever. 2FA with an activation code does not relate to your identity documents like KYC, so it's not big problem for you.

Usually for meme coins, Binance make some airdrop reward for active user but you must trader or join their airdrop campaign for receiving some coins landed to your Binance wallet. You can check the history receiving or transfer in your wallet and there are have note about coins landed from which one promotion or campaign site, last several years ago when meme coins listing on Binance they launched many airdrop way to earn coins maybe you get all coins from learn to earn and have many allocation for the participants.

Better verifying your account to get ability for trading, withdrawing and sell your meme coins landed in your wallet, I think if your document have rejected better contact the costumer service and find the right way how to solve with your account problem. Binance always friendly for their user and you can try again for verifying your account and approved it.

I actually have a binance account as well, nothing was airdroped into my account of recent , though they did some giveaway when dogs was launched, and for you to qualify, you have to make a deposit of dogs into your binance account, before the launching, but since you said that you haven't done any transactions in that your binance account of recent, then I would suggest that you check if it's not a demo account that you are talking off, because sometimes you might see the balance of your demo account and think it's your main balance .

And lastly, if I may ask, do you have a little bit of asset there before? Because if you have an asset there before, the automatic earn might have been activated and your asset might have been staked for some rewards, which you might be rewarded in new crypto or that same crypto that your asset is being staked in.

I am using Binance but I was not given NOT or PEPE. The only coin that I remember that I was given on Binance was TWT which is known as Trustwallet token but the coin was given before KYC become mandatory on the exchange.

It would be good if you contact the Binance customer care and ask them the reason why you got the coins. You do not need to do KYC before you contact the exchange customer care.
