Introducing festive Red Packet gifting, Merchant Pay, and integrated educational tools to nurture financial literacy for kids and teens under parental supervision. 24th February 2026, Mumbai, India - Following the successful launch of Binance Junior in December 2025, Binance is pleased to introduce exciting new features aimed at making saving and learning about crypto even more engaging and accessible for families. Designed for kids and teens aged 6 to 17, Binance Junior already provides a secure, parent-controlled platform that encourages positive savings habits and financial literacy from an early age. The latest updates introduce a Red Packet gifting feature, Merchant Pay options, and seamless integration of the educational ''ABCs of Crypto'' eBook directly within the Binance Junior app. These enhancements create a richer, more interactive experience for families to explore the world of digital assets together. Binance Junior empowers parents to safely guide their children through the world of digital assets. Parents maintain full control, with the ability to enable or disable selected features and monitor all account activity through an easy-to-use interface. These new features further strengthen that foundation by allowing children, with parental approval, to receive crypto gifts, make approved payments, and access educational content that demystifies crypto in a fun and approachable way. As part of this expansion, parents can now enable non-parental transfers from adult Binance accounts to Junior accounts. This includes Red Packet gifting and regular peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, allowing relatives and family friends to send crypto gifts to their children's Binance Junior accounts. To ensure security and responsible use, receipt limits are capped at an annual threshold of USD 12,000 for both crypto transfers and Red Packet gifts. Once this limit is reached, Junior accounts will no longer be able to accept additional crypto transfers until the next cycle. Parents retain full control to activate or deactivate these features, so families can tailor usage according to their comfort level. Beyond that, the new Merchant Pay feature enables Junior users to make payments at selected merchants, while excluding restricted merchant category codes such as gambling and tobacco. This family-friendly approach helps teach responsible spending and saving, giving children practical experience managing digital finances in a safe environment. These enhancements arrive just in time for the Ramadan and Lunar New Year celebrations. Binance encourages families to create new traditions by sending crypto Red Packet gifts - a modern, cashless way to share love and well wishes. Juniors receive instant notifications and wallet credits when gifted, making these festive moments even more joyful, simple, and connected. Binance's mission with Binance Junior extends beyond providing a savings tool. It aims to foster financial education and intergenerational learning. The ''ABCs of Crypto'' educational book is now fully integrated into the app as a mobile-friendly version, supporting parents and children on their digital finance journey together. This illustrated eBook breaks down complex crypto concepts into easy-to-understand lessons, helping young users build confidence and curiosity about the digital economy. Yi He, Binance co-CEO, comments, ''Binance Junior is a family-focused platform designed for children to manage their allowance with savings and payment features. By helping children develop good money management habits early on, we hope to empower families to build a strong foundation for their financial future.'' ''Many of the new features were inspired by valuable feedback from our community, and we have more exciting updates on the way. Our goal is to make it easier and more fun for families to teach and learn about crypto together in a safe environment. It's important that our children are prepared for a future where digital finance plays a vital role,'' she added. Looking ahead, Binance envisions Binance Junior as a platform for users to grow in-line with Binance's broader goal of nurturing a new generation well-prepared for a financially digital future. For families looking to start or expand their journey into the world of crypto savings and education, these new features offer meaningful ways to save, send, pay, and learn, all with safety and parental control at its core.

Data shows cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges have racked up liquidations as Bitcoin and other assets have gone through a price retrace. Crypto Liquidations Have Crossed $500 Million During The Past Day According to data from CoinGlass, a massive amount of liquidations have piled up on digital asset derivatives platforms following the latest market volatility. “Liquidation” refers to the forceful closure that any open contract undergoes after it has incurred a loss of a specific degree (as defined by the exchange). Related Reading: Bitcoin Extreme Fear Streak Extends To 22 Days As Price Struggles Fast, violent moves tend to catch a large number of contracts off guard at once, so mass liquidation events tend to accompany them. The same has been the case with the volatility shown by Bitcoin and the company during the past day. As the table below shows, about $507 million in derivatives contracts have been liquidated over the last 24 hours. $438 million or 86% of the liquidations involved long contracts. This overwhelming majority in the leverage flush from the bullish bets is naturally because of the fact that the sharpest move inside this window was one to the downside. Bitcoin went from $67,700 to a low of $64,300 within the matter of a few hours. As the market has rebounded since this plunge, some short investors have also been liquidated, with their 24-hour liquidation figure sitting at $69 million. In terms of the individual assets, Bitcoin was once again the biggest contributor to the derivatives flush, with $233 million in contracts involved. Below is a heatmap that shows how liquidations have looked for the other coins. On-chain analytics firm Santiment has made an X post discussing the volatility, noting that it has caused a drop in the Bitcoin Open Interest. This indicator measures the total amount of positions related to BTC (in USD) that are currently open on all derivatives exchanges. As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Open Interest plunged to $19.5 billion following the event, which is about half the level that the metric was at during the January peak of $38.3 billion. The indicator’s decline signifies a mix of liquidations and investors choosing to pull back on risk.

This indicator has shot up alongside the price decline and hit a two-week high, implying a spike in FUD among retail investors. Bitcoin Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $66,300, down nearly 5% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com
