FOLKS token soars 250% after Binance Alpha listing
The price of FOLKS, the native token of DeFi protocol Folks Finance, jumped 250% following its debut on Binance Alpha, KuCoin, and MEXC, as traders rushed to take advantage of 50x perpetual futures and recognized the ambitious vision of CEO Benedetto Biondi and his team.
According to CoinMarketCap, most trading volume on November 6 came from Binance Alpha, where 50x leveraged futures trading sparked significant demand among investors.
The token’s sharp rise — from an initial price of $3.08 — was also driven by its limited supply. FOLKS has a fixed cap of 50 million tokens, with only 12.7 million initially in circulation, creating scarcity and speculative momentum.
Well-planned luck
Additional factors include the project’s innovative cross-chain lending platform, which supports deposits and borrowing across multiple blockchains — including Algorand, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain — as well as strong media coverage and robust venture capital backing.
Among Folks Finance investors are Coinbase Ventures, Jump Crypto, OKX Ventures, ParaFi Capital, Mapleblock Capital, Algorand Ventures, Polygon Labs, and others. According to various reports, Folks Finance raised approximately $6.2 million at a $75 million valuation.

The combination of these bullish factors pushed FOLKS to a peak of $7.7, marking a 250% increase. At the time of writing, the token was trading around $4.2, up 64% from its debut. However, analysts caution that a market correction is likely ahead.
The key question remains whether FOLKS can hold above $3.50, a level where most leveraged long positions were opened, amid broader crypto outflows.
