Binance exchange has just announced that it will add support Algorand (ALGO) coin staking and will launch a 220,000 ALGO initial staking reward airdrop. Starting from July 27, 2019, Binance will begin taking daily snapshots of user ALGO balances at 00:00 AM UTC. Users must hold at least 2 ALGO in order to qualify for staking rewards.
And right after Binance’s tweet, ALGO price had a 20% spike. It seems that some whales were accumulating ALGO and were waiting for Binance’s announcement.

Binance currently supports staking for NEO (GAS), Ontology (ONG), VeChain (VTHO), Tron (BTT), Stellar (XLM) & Komodo (KMD).
