Dublin, Ireland, June 7th, 2025, Chainwire
AB DAO announced that its native token $AB officially began trading on Binance Alpha—Binance's early-access, exclusive listing platform. What strategic considerations led AB to choose Alpha, and what role does this phase play in the 'AB Anywhere' cross-chain asset vision? This report delves into the AB team's rationale and plans. Users can refer to the official Binance announcement: https://x.com/binance/status/1931229650543583317)
Putting Technology and Liquidity to the Test on Alpha
For any emerging blockchain network, a first exchange listing is a comprehensive trial of both technology and operations. Although the AB team has conducted multiple internal and third-party security audits on AB Core and the AB Connect cross-chain protocol, real-world user environments often hide unforeseen risks. By listing on Binance Alpha—where contracts undergo Binance's rigorous security review—the team can identify on-chain performance bottlenecks and deploy optimizations rapidly. Alpha's user base is targeted and highly active, with a penchant for exploring new projects. By observing their trading behavior and cross-chain experiences in real time, the AB team can make iterative improvements and preempt potential issues.
Partnering with Binance to Elevate AB's Global Influence
As a leading exchange, Binance boasts hundreds of millions of users and a mature risk-management system. Early collaboration with Binance allows AB to secure concentrated, high-quality media coverage and community attention during the Alpha phase.
High-performance modular network: AB Core mainnet is live, supported by AB IoT sidechain and the AB Connect protocol for seamless cross-chain interoperability.
Multi-chain wallet: AB Wallet already supports BSC️AB transactions and multi-asset management.
Global, multi-language community: AB's English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, and Vietnamese communities exceed ten million users.
Decentralized philanthropy: The AB Foundation's global charity initiatives have earned Binance's endorsement, further boosting AB's brand reputation.
Refinement through Diverse, International Feedback
From the outset, AB has pursued a global mindset. Following the Alpha listing, regional communities sprang into action, providing diverse feedback that has been instrumental in data-driven product improvements—especially for AB Wallet. Next, the team will launch a small-scale on-chain governance trial on the testnet, inviting early token holders to vote on a minor charity donation proposal. This exercise, now successfully completed, lays the groundwork for future governance and strengthens community trust.
Future Outlook: Becoming the Ubiquitous Cross-Chain Asset
With Alpha behind it, AB's roadmap is clear:
Technical expansion: In H2 2025, complete bilateral integrations with additional blockchain ecosystems to extend the 'AB Anywhere' footprint, while employing strategies to reduce cross-chain transfer costs and boost capital efficiency.
Governance enhancements: Building on the pilot proposal, AB DAO will refine its proposal and voting workflows. The AB Foundation will enhance on-chain mechanisms to sustain donor confidence in transparency and impact.
Having amassed technical and operational know-how in the first half of the year, the AB team is poised to enter the global mainstream market with maturity. AB will soon fulfill its vision as the truly 'ubiquitous cross-chain asset.'

Florian Wirtz moves from Leverkusen to Liverpool – DW – 06/23/2025
The most expensive transfer in Bundesliga history is complete. Florian Wirtz is leaving Bayer Leverkusen for English champions Liverpool. It is the next step in his already remarkable career. Florian Wirtz is leaving the Bundesliga for the English Premier League. After undergoing the requisite medical check, Liverpool confirmed that the German star had signed for the Reds. Bayer Leverkusen and English champions Liverpool have agreed on a transfer fee for the 22-year-old attacking midfielder worth around €150 million ($174 million) including bonus payments, which makes Wirtz the most expensive transfer in Bundesliga history. The previous record was a total package of €135 million, which Borussia Dortmund collected from FC Barcelona for Ousmane Dembele in the summer of 2018. The Frenchman has been playing for newly crowned Champions League winners Paris St. Germain since 2023. Wirtz is reportedly set to earn between €20 and €22 million a year at Liverpool. Alongside Jamal Musiala of Bayern Munich, he is regarded as the biggest talent in German football. The 22-year-old developed in the youth section of Bundesliga club Cologne before signing with Leverkusen in 2020 at the age of 16. His Bundesliga debut followed shortly after at the age of 17. Wirtz's contract at Leverkusen still ran until mid-2027, making Liverpool pay the high release price for their future midfield hopeful. In his 140 games for Leverkusen, he scored 35 goals and added 47 assists. He played a key role in Leverkusen securing their first ever Bundesliga title and shortly after adding a second German Cup to their trophy case in 2024. The foundations for his almost perfect ball handling, even in tight spaces and against multiple opponents, were laid at an early age; at the age of four, Wirtz began playing at his home club Grün-Weiss Brauweiler, in a suburb of first coach was his father Hans-Joachim, who is now his agent and closest advisor, aiming to ensure that Florian's career progresses at the right pace. "There were always footballs around the house, someone was always kicking the ball around, especially my sister Juliane, and I," Wirtz told national paper "" and magazine "". Juliane, who is a year older than her brother is also a professional footballer who currently players for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The pair are the youngest of 10 siblings. "We didn't have a television to watch, so we played football in the living room," Wirtz said. "If I went to the kitchen to get a plate, I had a ball at my feet." Fast forward a few years, the ball is still at his feet and led him to a Liverpool contract reportedly worth more than €20 million a year. Wirtz is mostly known for his offensive power and creativity. His sensational solo run and finish against Freiburg in October 2023 was perhaps the best goal of Leverkusen's double season. Freiburg head coach at the time Christian Streich admitted afterwards: "You cannot defend Florian Wirtz." His first career hat trick came at the perfect time in mid-April of 2024 when Leverkusenbrushed aside Werder Bremen with a 5-0 win to secure their first ever Bundesliga title with five games to spare. Wirtz had only come on as a late substitute and needed less than 45 minutes to hit the back of the net three times. But his highlight-reel doesn't stop at club level. In early 2024, his first Germany goal, a long-range stunner against France, set a new record for the fastest ever Germany goal (scored after just seven seconds). Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann called him, Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gündogan his "three wizards." For all his attacking quality it is often forgotten how much Wirtz also contributes to his team's defense. He runs more than 10 kilometers per game, because he is constantly shifting, closing spaces, either running at the opponent head-on or chasing someone down in a sprint to win back a lost ball deep in his own half. What is even more remarkable is that his most recent impressive seasons came off the back of an ACL injury that kept him out for most of 2022. He missed the World Cup in Qatar and his debut in the Champions League was postponed. After the enforced break, Leverkusen's coach Xabi Alonso, who has since moved to Real Madrid, carefully reintroduced Wirtz to the team in 2023. He soon looked better post injury than before. The simple statistics that season were impressive — Wirtz finished with 18 goals and 20 assists in all competitions. For context, that total number of goal involvements in all competitions in Europe's top five leagues was higher than Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) and the same as Phil Foden (Manchester City). Wirtz's assist tally was the most of all players in Europe's top five leagues He has now played nine Champions League matches, scoring six goals and will look to add to that tally with Liverpool. In Leverkusen, Wirtz wore shirt number 10, which has a special meaning in football. Great players such as Pele, Diego Maradona and Lothar Matthäus have worn it over the years, leaving a lasting legacy. "Flo is a very special player,' says Xabi Alonso in the Amazon documentary "Bayer Leverkusen - A Dream comes true," which traces the path to winning the double. "The number 10 is tailor-made for him. He is one of those extraordinary players who honor this shirt number. There aren't many of them, but Flo is definitely one of them." For Wirtz himself the shirt number has a much more personal meaning than just football: "I have nine siblings, I'm the 10th, so it's a number that suits me very well."

Liverpool Bank On 'World-class' Wirtz After Record Deal
The golden boy of German football is set to become the new prince of the Premier League after Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee. Fresh from winning a 20th English top-flight title, Arne Slot's Reds have broken the bank to land a rising star already labelled as one of the world's best by former Reds midfielder and Wirtz's former coach Xabi Alonso. British media reported on Friday that the Premier League champions had agreed a deal worth up to GBP116 million ($157 million) to secure the services of the attacking midfielder. German reports claim the fee is even higher, starting at 130 million euros (GBP111 million, $149 million) with add-ons taking it to 150 million euros. Wirtz's abundant potential as a teenager sparked a row between his hometown club Cologne and Leverkusen five years ago when Leverkusen, who are backed by pharmaceutical giants Bayer, swooped to sign him at 17. Cologne argued that a gentleman's agreement not to poach youth team players had been violated, but Leverkusen said Wirtz was a first-team signing and within months he had made his Bundesliga debut. His rise was interrupted by a cruciate knee ligament injury in March 2022 that forced him to miss the next 10 months. By the time he returned, Alonso had been installed as Leverkusen boss and together they would spearhead the club's greatest days. Leverkusen ended Bayern Munich's dominance of the Bundesliga in stunning fashion, romping to the title and the German Cup without losing a single match in the 2023/24 season. Wirtz netted his first career hat-trick on the day the title was sealed against Werder Bremen, on his way to being crowned Bundesliga player of the year. "Flo is one of the top players in the world, he's world class," said Real Madrid coach Alonso, who compared his protege to Lionel Messi in terms of his understanding of the game. "Why is Messi so good? Because he knows how and when to play simple passes. Messi says: 'You're in a better position? Here, there you have the ball'," added Alonso, a hero of Liverpool's 2005 Champions League triumph. "It's not always about making the most brilliant move, but the best and smartest. Florian can do that. That's why he's so good." Both star player and coach committed to staying with the Leverkusen project for another 12 months, but defeat in the Europa League final to Atalanta to round off the 2023/24 campaign was a sign of things to come. Bayern restored their grip on the German game last season but could not convince Wirtz to follow the lead of many others in joining from their Bundesliga rivals. Instead, he made it clear his preference was a move to the Premier League champions and the chance to add his name to Liverpool's cast of legends. "I'm really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and to join the Premier League," said Wirtz. "I spoke also with some players who played there and they told me that it's perfect for me and every pitch is perfect, you can enjoy every game. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game." Despite 57 goals and 65 assists in 197 games for Leverkusen, Wirtz will begin life at Anfield in the shadow of Mohamed Salah. But the Reds are banking on Wirtz's creativity to help maintain the 32-year-old's prolific goalscoring numbers and ease the burden of carrying the Liverpool attack. The club's previous record signing, GBP85 million recruit Darwin Nunez, has failed to deliver and could be sold to help recoup some of their major outlay on new faces. Liverpool will hope Wirtz can handle the pressure of his price tag and the physicality of the Premier League to ensure there is no second season slump under Slot.
