Binance will support the token merge from Velodrome (VELODROME) to Aerodrome (AERO) with contract swap functionality.

Tech & Launches · 2026-10-16

Binance announced it will support the transition from Velodrome Finance (VELODROME) to Aerodrome (AERO) through contract swap functionality. The exchange will delist VELODROME spot trading pairs and execute a token merge converting VELODROME holdings to AERO on November 3, 2026.

The swap mechanism allows holders to exchange their VELODROME tokens for the new AERO token via Binance's platform. This represents a transition between the two protocols rather than a liquidation event, preserving token holders' positions through the merger date.

The timing and precise technical details of how the conversion will function—including any exchange rates or fee structures—remain specified only by the official announcement, with implementation contingent on the November 2026 date.
