July 14, 2025, not only marks an important milestone for Bitcoin as it sets a new all-time high (ATH), but it also celebrates the 8th anniversary of Binance Coin — the digital currency issued by the Binance exchange. These two events are not only symbolic but also represent the strong maturation of the cryptocurrency market over time.
CZ: From $1,000 to Hundreds of Thousands of USD – The Miraculous Journey of Bitcoin
Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share his feelings about Bitcoin's historic milestone. He recalled buying Bitcoin for the first time in 2014, and three years later, BTC reached the milestone of $1,000 in 2017 — a number that was then considered "beyond imagination."
However, over time, the price of $1,000 has become just a small fraction, less than 1% compared to the current BTC price. This demonstrates Bitcoin's long-term growth strength when compared to any traditional asset.
Celebrating 8 Years of Binance Coin: From $0.06 to Over $706
On the same day, July 14, Binance and the cryptocurrency community celebrated the 8th birthday of BNB. CZ shared that at launch, BNB was only traded at $0.06.
But as of today, BNB has reached a price of over $706, equivalent to an increase of over 11,700 times — a figure that astonishes any investor.
BNB is now not only the exchange's token but also a pillar of the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem, used for transaction fees, staking, DeFi, NFTs, and many other applications.
Binance – 8 Years of Resilience and Rapid Growth
After overcoming a series of storms, legal challenges, and fierce competition in the blockchain industry, Binance has not only survived but also risen to become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, serving over 280 million users globally.
The event on July 14 serves as a strong reminder of faith, long-term vision, and resilience in a constantly changing market. Both Bitcoin and Binance are proving that: with the right strategy and persistence, cryptocurrencies can deliver results beyond expectations.
The Bright Future of Cryptocurrency
With a series of major victories in the ecosystem, from approved ETF funds, increased adoption, to advancements in legal and technological aspects, confidence in the future of the crypto industry is growing stronger.
Today is not only a day of numbers but also a historical milestone affirming the position of Bitcoin, BNB, and the entire blockchain industry on the path to sustainable development.
