Cryptocurrency has changed the face of financial transactions and investments in the current digital age. At the forefront of this change is Binance – the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. Chinese entrepreneur Changpeng Zhao (CZ) founded Binance in 2017, and within just a few years, it gained the trust of traders worldwide.
Business Model
Binance primarily serves as a trading platform where users can trade in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over a thousand other cryptocurrencies. The company follows a fee-based revenue model — meaning a small commission is taken from each trade. Additionally, Binance has launched its own coin BNB (Binance Coin), which offers various benefits, including reduced fees.
Global Expansion
Binance is not just an exchange; it is a complete crypto ecosystem — where there is:
Binance Smart Chain (blockchain platform)
NFT Marketplace
Binance Academy (educational platform)
P2P Trading
Launchpad (opportunity to invest in new projects)
Challenges and Criticism
However, Binance's path has not been entirely smooth. Due to disagreements with regulatory agencies in various countries and licensing complexities, they have had to halt or limit operations in many places. Questions about security have also arisen, such as the major hacking incident in 2019 where 7,000 bitcoins were stolen.
Future Prospects
Still, Binance plays a significant role in the expansion of Web3, blockchain, and crypto finance. Centered around their technology and customer service system, the company is continuously bringing new innovations.
