Fact Check
The core claim that Binance listed GENIUS and OPG at 12:00 UTC on May 22, 2026 is strongly supported by the official @binance X post (id 2057774379136958611), which explicitly confirms the trading start time was postponed to 12:00 UTC on that date. The official Binance support announcement page (detail/4de6272354be421ba51ea042fd273a8d) confirms the listing itself. The @AlphaNewsX post corroborates the specific claim about Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert, Margin and VIP Loan services being added. The 12:00 UTC time in the claim matches the postponed (final) listing time per the official Binance postponement announcement (detail/8ae1dd80262c49448ed114e499159f20). The small residual uncertainty (0.08) reflects that the Binance official pages returned CAPTCHA blocks preventing direct content verification, and the exact scope of all five additional services (Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert, Margin, VIP Loan) was confirmed via a secondary aggregator rather than the primary Binance page directly.
Summary

Binance announced that it will list Genius Terminal (GENIUS) and OpenGradient (OPG) on May 22, 2026, with spot trading set to begin at 19:00 UTC+8 and deposits already open. The exchange said six spot pairs will be supported: GENIUS/USDT, GENIUS/USDC, GENIUS/TRY, OPG/USDT, OPG/USDC, and OPG/TRY, with withdrawals scheduled for May 23, 2026. Binance also said both tokens will be available across Simple Earn, Buy Crypto, Convert, Margin and VIP Loan at 12:00 UTC on May 22, including flexible earn products, fiat and balance purchases, zero-fee conversion, and margin borrowing for GENIUS and OPG against USDT and USDC. After trading opened, Odaily reported that GENIUS was temporarily quoted at 0.62 USDT, reflecting early price discovery following the Binance debut.
