$BNB Binance Coin was created in 2017, shortly before the official opening of Binance Exchange. Its creators were the duo Changpeng Zhao and Roger Wang, who designed a crypto asset that would offer discounts and advantages within the Binance Exchange environment, one of the largest crypto asset trading exchanges. From the beginning, the idea went beyond offering a broad environment for trading crypto assets; the platform would also have a “house asset” in its portfolio that would play an important role in its trading environment.
