$BTC Binance Pizza Day: Celebrating Crypto’s First Real-World Transaction
Binance Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to mark a historic moment in the world of cryptocurrency. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world purchase using Bitcoin by buying two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. At the time, the value was minimal, but today, those Bitcoins would be worth millions of dollars.
To honor this milestone, Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, hosts global events and campaigns each year. These include giveaways, meetups, and charity drives to promote crypto awareness and adoption. Binance Pizza Day is more than just a celebration of pizza—it represents how far the crypto industry has come.
It reminds the crypto community of the journey from a novelty concept to a global financial revolution. Binance continues to use this day to inspire new users and support innovation in the blockchain space.
