Binance Pizza Day: A Celebration of Crypto History
Binance Pizza Day commemorates one of the most iconic moments in cryptocurrency history—the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, marking the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase a tangible item. At the time, those 10,000 BTC were worth around $41. Today, they would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, making it the most expensive pizza in history. Binance, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, celebrates this historic day each year to honor the growth and journey of the crypto industry.
The day is not only a nostalgic look back but also a way to engage the global crypto community through events, giveaways, and educational campaigns. Binance Pizza Day highlights how far the industry has come—from a niche experiment to a global financial revolution. It serves as a reminder of innovation, vision, and the power of decentralized finance. For crypto enthusiasts, it’s more than just about pizza; it's about celebrating the milestone that showed Bitcoin's real-world utility. Binance uses the occasion to spread awareness, support adoption, and inspire future advancements in blockchain technology.
