Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its support for the token swap and rebranding of Frontier (FRONT) to Self Chain (SLF).
This strategic move by Binance marks another significant step in its ongoing efforts to support the evolution and restructuring of altcoin projects. The news has already triggered a notable surge in FRONT’s price and trading volumes, reflecting growing investor interest and confidence.
Binance approves Frontier (FRONT) name change
In an announcement issued on August 27, 2024, Binance has confirmed its support for the Frontier token swap and rebranding, renaming it as Self Chain (SLF).
This decision is part of Binance’s broader strategy to foster innovation and support altcoin projects through critical phases like rebranding and restructuring.
As part of this transition, Binance will delist all existing FRONT spot trading pairs, including FRONT/BTC, FRONT/TRY, FRONT/USDC, and FRONT/USDT, on 2024-08-27 03:00 (UTC), to pave the way for the new SLF trading pairs.
The new pairs, SLF/BTC, SLF/TRY, SLF/USDC, and SLF/USDT, will become available for trading on August 30, 2024.
Market impact
The announcement had an immediate impact on the price of Frontier’s native token, which surged by 20% after the announcement.
Within minutes, the price jumped from $0.64 to $0.8188, before stabilizing at $0.7216 at press time. This surge was accompanied by a significant increase in both market volume, which exceeded $68 million, and trading volume, which saw a 187% rise to over $31.9 million.
Binance’s positive recovery from last year’s uncertainties, marked by increased transparency and a renewed focus on aligning with institutional policies, has reinforced its position as a key player in the crypto industry and its support for the Frontier (FRONT) token swap and rebranding is a significant development for the altcoin.
