Binance Turns 8: A Journey of Rapid Growth and Global Impact
In July 2025, Binance celebrates its 8th anniversary, marking a remarkable journey from a startup to the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Binance quickly rose to prominence due to its user-friendly interface, wide selection of cryptocurrencies, and competitive trading fees. Within just six months of its launch, it became the top exchange by trading volume.
Over the past eight years, Binance has expanded its services far beyond just trading. It now offers decentralized finance (DeFi) products, staking, NFTs, futures, and institutional solutions. Binance Smart Chain (BSC), launched in 2020, played a major role in popularizing low-cost DeFi applications and helped foster a thriving ecosystem of blockchain projects.
Despite facing regulatory challenges in several countries, Binance has continually adapted its operations and strengthened compliance to meet global standards. Its focus on user security, transparency, and innovation has helped it retain user trust and leadership in the crypto industry.
As Binance turns 8, it reflects a story of resilience, evolution, and impact. The company continues to shape the future of digital finance, empowering millions of users worldwide to participate in the decentralized economy. Its anniversary stands as a milestone for both Binance and the broader blockchain community.
