Binance History: From Startup to Global Crypto Leader
Binance was founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao (commonly known as CZ) in China. Within just a few months, it quickly became one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume. Binance stood out due to its user-friendly platform, wide range of cryptocurrencies, and low trading fees.
Despite regulatory challenges and relocating its headquarters multiple times, Binance continued to innovate—launching Binance Coin (BNB), its own blockchain (Binance Smart Chain), and expanding into DeFi, NFTs, and more.
Today, Binance serves millions of users globally, offering a comprehensive ecosystem that includes trading, staking, saving, and education. Its mission remains to increase the freedom of money worldwide through blockchain technology.
