Portal To Bitcoin (PTB) To Launch Exclusively on Binance Alpha September 3: All You Need To Know About the Airdrop

Binance Wallet has announced that on September 3, Binance Alpha will be the first platform to support Portal To Bitcoin (PTB), a trust-minimized protocol designed for fast, secure atomic swaps between Bitcoin and other blockchain assets. 

To celebrate the launch, there will be an exclusive $PTB airdrop. You'll find in this article what you should know about the Portal To Bitcoin project, the Binance Alpha airdrop, and how to claim $PTB tokens.

What is Portal To Bitcoin (PTB)?

Portal To Bitcoin is a new project that aims at maximizing the utility and scalability of Bitcoin and adding novel cross-chain liquidity solutions to the leading cryptocurrency. In contrast to numerous similar projects that run independently, Portal To Bitcoin positions itself as a gateway to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

The purpose of Portal To Bitcoin, which has raised more than $92 million in funding, is to add more utility to Bitcoin beyond being a store of value. It allows users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi platforms, and NFT marketplaces without leaving the security and stability of Bitcoin.

Portal To Bitcoin wants Bitcoin to be the primary settlement layer for millions of markets, including bonds, stablecoins, tokenized stocks, and other real-world assets. 

The project leverages its proprietary BitScaler technology to enable truly non-custodial, peer-to-peer atomic swaps with multiple blockchains. This innovation removes custodial risks, increases the efficiency of transactions, and decreases expenses through multi-party channels and Taproot scripts.

What You Should Know About the Launch of Portal To Bitcoin on Binance Alpha

Binance Alpha will be the first platform globally to open trading for PTB starting at 12:00 UTC on September 3, 2025. Shortly after, at 12:30 UTC, Binance Futures will launch PTBUSDT perpetual contracts with leverage up to 50x.

An exclusive airdrop will be offered to eligible Binance users to celebrate the launch. To claim the PTB tokens, users must have Binance Alpha Points, a reward system earned through engagement on the Binance Alpha platform. The airdrop claim window runs from 12:00 UTC on September 3 to 12:00 UTC on September 4, 2025.

            How To Claim the $PTB Airdrop

The PTB airdrop will be open between September 3, 12:00 (UTC) and September 4, 12:00 (UTC). Between this time, eligible users can use their Binance Alpha Points to claim PTB tokens. Follow the steps below to participate in the $PTB airdrop.

• Update Binance & Binance Wallet Apps: Make sure your Binance Wallet app is updated and linked to the Binance App. 
• Check your Alpha Points balance: Stay up to date and check the number of Binance Alpha points that you will need to qualify for the $PTB airdrop. You might already have Alpha points if you have been active in Megadrop, Launchpool, or Web3 wallet campaigns.
• Watch the Alpha Events Page for Updates: Search Alpha Event on the Binance App or save it to your home page to get quick access when Portal To Bitcoin goes live on September 3. When $PTB goes live, you'll see the claim mechanics. 
• Apply for $PTB: When $PTB goes live, locate the token on the Alpha Event page, and select how many Alpha Points you want to trade for $PTB tokens. When you do, you will receive your $PTB tokens in the airdrop.

Binance Alpha airdrops are based on a first-come, first-served basis. If the allocated $PTB tokens for the Binance Alpha exclusive airdrop are snapped up by other users, you may need to wait until others are willing to trade them or the token goes live for trading.

Why Portal To Bitcoin Matters

Portal To Bitcoin is a major breakthrough in the application of Bitcoin as more than a store-of-value or payment tool. By enabling programmable, secure DeFi settlement layers without entrusting user assets to intermediaries, Portal aims to bring every major global financial market onto the Bitcoin network safely and efficiently.

This is in line with the larger vision of hyperbitcoinization, in which Bitcoin serves as the settlement and liquidity base of decentralized finance on a global scale. The Binance Alpha-exclusive launch thus not only introduces a new token but a new paradigm in Bitcoin interoperability and DeFi scalability.
