BERA airdrop for Binance users 

Earlier, Binance announced that BNB token holders who subscribed to the ‘BNB to Simple Earn’ program between 22 and 26 January 22 will receive BERA token airdrops. This is part of Binance’s HODLer Airdrops campaign. Around 10 million BERA tokens will be airdropped to BNB holders on Binance.

Prior to its official launch, BERA was trading at approximately $8 on Aevo perpetual futures markets, suggesting a market capitalization of around $4billion. However, these figures are speculative and subject to significant fluctuations upon the token’s release.
