Binance, the leading global blockchain ecosystem and the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange platform by trading volume and user numbers, celebrates its eighth anniversary.
A milestone that testifies not only to the company’s growth but also to the collective impact of an international community that continues to push cryptocurrencies towards mass adoption and shape the future of digital finance.
Founded in 2017 as a simple crypto-to-crypto exchange, Binance has transformed into an entity that today has over 280 million users spread across more than 100 countries. An impressive figure: almost one in 28 people worldwide is registered on Binance. Every week, about a million new users join the platform, a sign of the constantly accelerating adoption of digital assets.
A clear mission: financial freedom for all
From the beginning, Binance set the goal of making cryptocurrencies a fundamental tool to increase people’s financial freedom, allowing them to access, spend, own, store, and grow their money. Today, over 280 million people have integrated cryptocurrencies into their daily lives, relying on Binance as a trusted guide. The company reiterates its mission: to always put users at the center of every decision and build safe and accessible tools to allow everyone to participate in this new era of finance.
Record numbers: volumes, users, and products
Binance stands out for the deepest liquidity in the industry, a wide range of products, and robust security measures that millions of users rely on every day. In eight years, Binance users have traded 125 trillion dollars in digital assets between spot and derivatives markets. The average daily volume exceeds 91 billion dollars, with about 217 million spot and futures transactions processed every day.
According to June 2025 data provided by The Block, Binance holds over 41% of the global market share for spot cryptocurrency trading, confirming itself as the reference platform for both retail and institutional investors.
Beyond trading: savings, payments, and education
Binance is not just trading. Over the years, the platform has become a reference point for savings, payments, and financial education.
Binance Earn: savings and numbers
Since its launch, users have obtained 50 billion dollars in earnings and savings thanks to Binance Earn, a tool that allows users to put their cryptocurrencies to work simply and securely.
Binance Pay: revolution in payments
With Binance Pay, the platform has processed 230 billion dollars through 300 million transactions, offering a faster and cheaper alternative to traditional payment systems. Between 2022 and 2024 alone, Binance Pay allowed users to save 1.75 billion dollars in remittance fees, demonstrating the potential of cryptocurrencies to improve people’s lives, especially in economically disadvantaged regions.
Binance Academy: education for millions of users
Binance’s commitment to education is reflected in the 64 million people who have increased their knowledge of cryptocurrencies thanks to Binance Academy, the ecosystem’s free educational platform.
Security and compliance: growth numbers
Security and regulatory compliance have been fundamental to Binance’s growth. Since December 2022, Binance’s risk control systems have prevented 10 billion dollars in losses due to fraud, while over 215 million dollars of stolen funds have been recovered or frozen.
The company has responded to 241,000 law enforcement requests and organized more than 400 training sessions to help global agencies combat crime by leveraging blockchain transparency. Today, nearly 22% of Binance’s workforce is engaged in compliance-related roles, and spending in this sector is set to grow by 33% year over year in 2025.
