HUMA, the native token of Huma Finance a PayFi network focused on real-world assets (RWA) will officially launch on Binance Alpha on May 26.
Binance confirmed the exclusive debut in a May 26 announcement, noting that HUMA will be featured in its Binance Alpha section, which highlights high-potential Web3 projects before they hit the main exchange.
The launch coincides with Huma Finance’s Token Generation Event (TGE), also set for May 26. The exact time of the listing has not yet been revealed.
To celebrate the debut, Binance Alpha will run a limited-time airdrop event. Users can redeem HUMA tokens using their Alpha Points, Binance’s reward mechanism for early community participation.
While a Binance Alpha listing does not guarantee a main exchange listing, projects that demonstrate strong momentum, active communities, and solid liquidity are often considered for promotion to Binance’s primary trading platform.
Per Huma Finance’s tokenomics, HUMA has a total supply cap of 10 billion tokens, with 17.33% of that supply expected to be in circulation at launch.
Out of HUMA’s total 10 billion token supply, 5%—or 500 million tokens—has been designated for its Season 1 airdrop campaign. The majority of these tokens (65%) will go to Liquidity Providers who supported pools on both Huma Institutional and Huma 2.0.
Ecosystem Partners, recognized for their contributions to on-chain real yield and protocol growth, will receive 25% of the airdrop allocation. Meanwhile, 10% is set aside for community contributors such as content creators, active Discord members, and white hat developers. Additionally, 0.2% of the supply will be distributed through Kaito-hosted campaigns to the Kaito Yappers community.
While most recipients will receive their airdropped tokens fully unlocked at the Token Generation Event (TGE), rewards for institutional LPs and ecosystem partners will follow a vesting schedule—one-third will unlock at TGE, with the remainder distributed evenly over the following six months.
HUMA’s token distribution is structured to promote sustainable growth and long-term commitment. A total of 31% of the supply is dedicated to bolstering liquidity and ecosystem development. Investors are allocated 20.6%, while 19.3% is set aside for the core team and advisors. An additional 11.1% is held in the protocol’s treasury.
Tokens reserved for the team and early backers will remain fully locked for the first year, followed by a gradual vesting schedule over the next three years. Meanwhile, rewards for liquidity providers and ecosystem contributors will decline by 7% every quarter. This emission rate, however, can be adjusted through community governance based on project performance and evolving needs.
What is Huma Finance?
Huma Finance is a Web3 protocol designed to bridge real-world assets (RWAs) with blockchain technology. It focuses on tokenizing income-based assets like invoices, payroll, and subscription payments to enable decentralized credit solutions through its PayFi infrastructure.
Unlike traditional DeFi models that rely heavily on crypto collateral, Huma allows users to access upfront capital by leveraging future income streams. This enables innovative use cases such as subscription-based financing and income-driven loans.
The platform is powered by the HUMA token, which plays a central role in governance, staking, transaction fees, and reward mechanisms across the ecosystem. It’s also used to incentivize participation through initiatives like airdrops and liquidity programs.
In 2025, Huma Finance raised $38 million in funding from major backers including Circle, HashKey Capital, and the Stellar Development Foundation. The project is also supported by contributors with experience from leading blockchain organizations such as the Solana Foundation and Distributed Global.
