Binance has introduced two new features: Locked Addresses and Concentration Indicator, designed to give its clients greater visibility into token supply dynamics and potential volatility risks.

• Locked Addresses: Clearer Insights Into Circulating Supply

Many crypto projects choose to lock a portion of their tokens for strategic reasons, such as to incentivize long-term commitment from team members, investors, or the community. These tokens are held in locked addresses and remain inaccessible until a predetermined “vesting” period ends.

Binance’s new Locked Addresses feature makes these important supply details visible directly within the Binance platform. Users can now verify whether a portion of a project’s token supply is indeed locked, track how much is involved, and factor that into their trading decisions.

A project’s circulating supply is one of the most fundamental inputs into understanding price dynamics. By surfacing locked address information, Binance allows users to separate circulating tokens from those that are inaccessible, helping avoid misinterpretations of market cap or liquidity.

Binance clients will find this information by heading to a token’s Info tab and hovering over Circulating Supply. From there, you can examine how locked addresses relate to overall token distribution.

• Concentration Indicator: A Signal for Volatility Risk

If a few holders control most of the supply, the risk of sudden price moves can be much higher. But until now, there hasn’t been an easy way to gauge that concentration in one place.

With Binance’s new Concentration Indicator, users get a snapshot of how widely distributed the ownership of a token is, using a weighted average formula that captures concentration both within and outside the Binance platform.

Binance blends and normalizes these inputs into a 0–100 score. A higher score means greater concentration, suggesting that a small number of holders may have outsized influence on the token’s price, while a lower score indicates broader distribution and, potentially, lower volatility risk.

Users can view the score and use it as one of several factors in making their investment decisions. It’s not about predicting the future, but rather about giving users a better sense of the landscape they’re navigating.
