#BinanceTurns8
In July 2025, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, celebrates its 8th anniversary. Launched in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance began as a fast, user-friendly platform for crypto trading. Within just a year, it became a market leader — and today, it remains one of the most influential players in the digital asset space.
Over the past eight years, Binance has expanded beyond simple spot trading. It now offers futures, margin trading, a launchpad for new tokens, staking, an NFT marketplace, and a blockchain ecosystem through BNB Chain. With users across more than 180 countries, Binance continues to serve millions of traders, investors, and developers.
Despite regulatory challenges in multiple jurisdictions, Binance has focused on compliance and security, including launching proof-of-reserves, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) features, and investing in global licenses. The company has also made notable strides in crypto education and Web3 development.
Celebrating its 8th year, Binance launched campaigns under the banner “8 Years of Evolution,” offering giveaways, trading competitions, and community events. Its journey from a small startup to a cornerstone of the crypto economy highlights not just its growth, but also the rapid evolution of the blockchain industry itself.
