Binance assigns the “seed tag” to cryptocurrencies that are early in their development stage. This label is used to indicate that such coins may exhibit higher volatility and carry greater risks. The exchange employs this tag to alert users to the potential risks involved in trading these cryptocurrencies.

Toncoin (TON) surged over 10% in June, propelling it into the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Building on this momentum, TON’s value climbed 15% in the preceding week, and it currently commands a market value of about $15b.
