A Legacy of Innovation & Growth!

Founded in 2017, Binance began as a visionary project in the nascent world of cryptocurrency. With an initial coin offering (ICO) that raised $15 million, Binance quickly established itself as a user-friendly platform catering to both novice and experienced traders.?

Over its seven-year journey, Binance introduced pioneering products like Binance Coin (BNB), Binance Launchpad, and Binance Academy, solidifying its status as the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. Celebrating its seventh anniversary, Binance boasts over 210 million users in 19 countries and $100 billion in user fund holdings, continuously pushing the boundaries of financial innovation.?

"Our first seven years of hard work have laid a solid foundation for even greater success on the path of expanding financial freedom and inclusion. As we turn seven, we combine the elements of both: a curious, nimble, growth-oriented mindset of a startup, and the wisdom and tenacity of a battle-tested organization that had withstood multiple crises and learned many important lessons the hard way.”

-Richard Teng, CEO Binance

As Binance looks to the future, its unwavering dedication to innovation, security, and user-centric services promises to keep it at the helm of the financial revolution for years to come.

How Binance is Shaping the Future of Blockchain Technology?

With over 500 DApps and numerous projects, BSC is a thriving hub for blockchain innovation.

Facilitating Cross-Border Crypto Payments

Cross-border payments have always been challenging due to high fees and long processing times.

According to Binance, “Binance Pay aims to provide a seamless payment experience, enhancing financial inclusion worldwide.”
