Binance announced it will list its AI-focused Sentient (SENT) token on the spot market, while Coinbase made a noteworthy move on the same day. Binance, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, announced that Seed Tag will be implemented for SENT and spot trading will begin on January 22, 2026, while Coinbase announced it will launch perpetual futures trading for SENT. Thus, Sentient has simultaneously entered the radar of investors in both spot and derivatives markets.
Binance Lists SENT Token
Binance announced it will list its AI-focused Sentient (SENT) token. In its official announcement, Binance stated that Seed Tag will be implemented for SENT and spot trading will begin on January 22, 2026. According to the initial announcement, trading was planned to start at 15:00 Turkish time. However, due to a delay in the on-chain airdrop process, the trading opening time was updated. According to Turkish time, SENT trading will be accessible on the Binance spot market today at 16:00 GMT+3.
According to information shared by Binance, SENT will be listed with SENT/USDT, SENT/USDC, and SENT/TRY pairs. It was specifically emphasized that the TRY pair will only be accessible via Binance TR. Users can begin depositing SENT one hour before trading begins. Withdrawal transactions are planned to open on January 23, 2026, at 15:00 GMT+3. The announcement also stated that no listing fee will be charged.
The SENT token operates on the Ethereum network, and Binance shared the relevant smart contract address in its announcement. It was also stated that a total of 343.6 million SENT has been reserved for future marketing campaigns. Details regarding this token distribution are expected to be shared in a separate announcement. Binance notes that this supply may affect the circulating supply and price volatility in the short term. Another important topic concerning Binance Alpha users is the status of SENT on the platform. SENT will be removed from Binance Alpha when spot trading opens. SENT balances held in Alpha accounts will be automatically transferred to spot accounts within 24 hours. Users can also manually transfer their balances within this period. Since Binance Alpha is positioned as a pre-listing pool, an asset does not remain displayed in Alpha when it is listed on the spot market.
The implementation of the Seed Tag indicates that SENT is considered a high-risk, early-stage project. Binance emphasizes that assets carrying the Seed Tag may have higher price volatility and that investors should exercise caution. In this context, users must complete risk awareness tests and accept the terms of use every 90 days to trade Seed-Tagged tokens. Additional risk warnings are also displayed on the trading screens.
The Sentient project is being developed by Sentient Labs. The project aims to build a large-scale open "intelligence network" called GRID. The goal of this network is to have more than 100 AI models, agents, tools, and research projects work together as a single integrated system. Sentient stands out as one of the latest examples of the growing interest in decentralized AI infrastructures.
Coinbase also announced a listing
On the other hand, there is a significant development for SENT not only in the spot market but also in the derivatives side. According to a statement by Coinbase Markets, perpetual futures for Sentient will be launched on January 22, 2026. The SENT-PERP market is planned to open after 17:00 Turkish time, provided sufficient liquidity is provided. Perpetual futures will be offered to individual users through Coinbase Advanced in certain regions, while institutional investors will be able to access these products through Coinbase International Exchange.
