TechFlow News — On December 9, Binance posted on social media: "We have noted recent community discussions regarding token supply data for USUAL and ACX, and immediately conducted an internal investigation. The specific cause is as follows: Binance's display of circulating token supply information for projects on its 'Trading Page' and 'Price Page' directly sources data from CoinMarketCap (CMC). Therefore, according to past procedures, if project teams fail to update their data, the figures shown on both CMC and Binance will also be affected.
Regarding ACX: On December 6, the Binance team identified incorrect circulating supply data for ACX and promptly contacted the project team to correct the data on CMC. Regarding USUAL: Changes in token supply information were primarily due to differing standards between CMC and the project team regarding the definition of circulating supply and data referencing methods. After discussion, the project team has already completed corrections on CMC. As outlined above, we have identified the root cause and conducted a post-incident review. Going forward, we will work to improve coordination and processes among project teams, CMC, and Binance regarding the display of token circulating supply and other key information, aiming to verify critical token details as early as possible before listing to ensure accuracy and prevent similar issues."
Prior to this, users on the X platform reported that the total supply of USUAL was initially displayed as 4 billion, later changed to 338 million—effectively making it fully circulating. ACX, upon launch, showed a circulating supply of 138 million, which was later updated to 332 million, causing its circulating market value to increase by 2.5x.
