Binance Exchange is on track to launch its Telegram mini-game dubbed Moonbix, an announcement that came after a leak
Binance, a prominent crypto asset exchange, has officially announced that it is preparing to launch Moonbix. Moonbix is a new Play-to-Earn (P2E) game available as a Telegram Mini App. This space-themed game will allow players to control a spaceship equipped with a claw-like tool to collect various items, including yellow stones and gifts scattered across different galaxies.Â
Binance Addresses Moonbix Leak Ahead of Launch
In an X post, Binance addressed the link to its mini-game that had surfaced unintentionally before the official launch. Following the leak, the exchange expressed excitement over the community’s positive response. However, it acknowledged the need to refine the game for a smooth experience upon its release.
In the post, Binance apologized for the premature release and assured users it is working to address any issue caused by the leak. Users are urged to avoid unofficial links and follow Binance’s official Telegram and announcement channels to prevent impersonation.Â
We’re aware that our upcoming TG mini app game, Moonbix, was leaked ahead of the planned launch date. While we’re thrilled by the community’s response, we’re still fine-tuning the product to ensure the best user experience on the official launch.
We apologize for any…

The exchange recently issued a critical security alert to protect its users regarding identified malware in the broader ecosystem.Â
The introduction of Binance’s Moonbix coincided with the rise of mini Telegram games in the crypto sector. Various industry participants are rolling out their Telegram-based games to catch the trend. Developers are capitalizing on the platform’s millions of active users to get people into Web3.
Product Innovation Amid Legal BrawlÂ
It is not surprising that Binance is looking to launch Moonbix amid other product offerings in the heat of its legal dispute with the US SEC. The exchange claims its users and innovation generally come first.Â
Notably, the SEC has reinforced its lawsuit against the exchange, alleging it sold unregistered securities as investment opportunities.Â
However, the exchange is pushing back, particularly regarding the SEC’s motion to compel depositions. The exchange said the agency’s requests are burdensome and unnecessary given the evidence already provided.
On the brighter side, the trading platform is getting ready for the release of its founder and former CEO, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, slated for September 29.
