BNB and ASTER surged double digits this weekend as anticipation builds around a new Binance product expected on Monday.
BNB rose 12% to $739, while ASTER climbed 10%, according to CoinGecko.
A teaser image from Binance sparked the rally. The image of a haystack is being interpreted as "Hey, stock" - hinting at stock trading or tokenized equities.
An analysis of the Binance app code revealed two equity-related systems under development: one for traditional stock trading via brokerage partners, and another offering tokenized "bStocks." Users might be able to swap between shares and tokens at a one-to-one ratio.
Other theories suggest the haystack refers to a "needle in a haystack" AI search tool.
Binance already launched tokenized US stocks and ETFs via Ondo Finance on its Binance Alpha platform in February, offering shares of Apple, Google, Tesla, NVIDIA, and a Nasdaq-100 ETF.
The company hasn't confirmed the rumored product.
