Introduction
In a move that underscores the rapid evolution of crypto and AI-driven token ecosystems, Binance has announced that its platforms — namely Binance Alpha 2.0 and Binance Futures — will support the token swap, redenomination and rebranding of AI16Z → ELIZAOS on 6 November 2025. Binance+1
This is more than a name change: the total supply and circulating supply of the token will shift significantly, and traders must pay attention to deadlines.
What exactly is happening?
Here are the key details:
-
On 2025-11-06 at 10:00 UTC, Binance Alpha 2.0 will temporarily suspend trading of AI16Z to facilitate the swap. Binance+1
-
At the same time, deposits of AI16Z will be suspended. Users must ensure any pending deposits are processed ahead of the cutoff. Binance+1
-
All remaining AI16Z tokens in Binance Alpha 2.0 accounts will be automatically converted to ELIZAOS at a ratio of 1 AI16Z = 6 ELIZAOS. Binance+1
-
Trading of ELIZAOS (and deposits for ELIZAOS) are expected to resume on 2025-11-07 at 02:00 UTC. Binance+1
-
On Binance Futures: For the AI16ZUSDT perpetual contract, all open positions will be closed and automatically settled at 09:00 UTC on 6 November 2025; new positions will be disallowed from 08:30 UTC. Binance
-
After settlement, the AI16Z perpetual contract will be removed. A relisting (if any) will be subject to a separate announcement. Binance
Changes to token supply & metrics
The rebranding is accompanied by significant changes to token economics:
-
The total supply of ELIZAOS will increase from 6.6 billion to 11 billion tokens (≈ +40 %). Lookonchain+1
-
The circulating supply will immediately jump from 6.6 billion to 7.4 billion. Binance+1

Why is this happening?
The rebrand and swap appear to be motivated by:
-
A shift in project focus toward a broader AI-ecosystem and interoperability rather than the original identity. Cryptonews reports the rename is part of that. Cryptonews+1
-
A desire to refresh tokenomics and signal a new phase to the market: larger supply, new branding, and a clear conversion path.
-
For Binance’s part, supporting a migration like this aligns with their platform’s handling of asset upgrades, swaps and redenominations.
What does this mean for token holders/traders?
If you hold AI16Z / will be impacted by this swap, here’s what you should keep in mind:
-
Action needed: If you hold AI16Z on Binance Alpha 2.0, you don’t need to manually swap — Binance will convert automatically at 1:6. But you do need to ensure deposits are completed ahead of the suspension.
-
Trading window: AI16Z trading will be paused on 6 November at 10:00 UTC — after that you cannot trade it until the new ELIZAOS trading opens.
-
Futures risk: If you hold AI16ZUSDT perpetual contracts on Binance Futures, your positions will be forcibly closed at the scheduled time — you may want to close ahead to control price risk.
-
Liquidity considerations: With the new token supply jump and rebranding, the market may go through volatility. Circulating supply goes up, meaning more tokens in the market.
-
Exchange support: Although Binance supports this swap, check if other exchanges you use also support the conversion/swapping of AI16Z → ELIZAOS. If not, you may face unsupported assets.
-
Value implication: Just because the ratio is fixed (1 to 6) doesn’t mean value per token remains the same — market perception, supply changes and project execution will be key.
Market and broader implications
-
Rebrands like this often trigger short‐term interest and speculative momentum. As noted, AI16Z had a short‐term price pump ahead of the swap news. Cryptonews
-
Increasing supply (from 6.6 billion to 11 billion) means token dilution risk; therefore, the project must deliver utility to justify the move.
-
For the broader crypto-AI segment, this swap may signal that projects are leaning harder into the “AI agent / cross‐chain utility token” narrative. ELIZAOS appears to be positioning itself accordingly.
-
For traders: Swap events combined with exchange support reduce risk of being left with unsupported tokens — but they also boost risk of volatility and supply shifts.
Summary & takeaways
In summary, Binance’s support for the AI16Z → ELIZAOS swap on 6 November 2025 is a key event for holders of that token. The automatic conversion at 1:6, the supply jump, the trading suspension and futures contract settlement are all important. Success for holders will depend on how well the new project (ELIZAOS) performs post-rebrand, how liquidity develops, and whether exchange support remains robust.
Key takeaways:
-
Confirm your AI16Z holdings and check they are on Binance Alpha 2.0 or a supported exchange.
-
Ensure any AI16Z deposits are completed before 10:00 UTC on 6 November.
-
Be aware of the automatic conversion to ELIZAOS at 1:6.
-
On futures, either close your AI16ZUSDT positions before the settlement or be prepared for forced settlement.
-
Watch market dynamics post-swap: bigger supply, new ticker, new narrative → more risk but also potential new opportunity.
