#BinanceTurns8

Binance celebrated its 8th anniversary in July 2025. The main celebration period ran from July 8th to July 15th. To mark the occasion, Binance launched a variety of campaigns and promotions with a total prize pool of several million dollars.

Key highlights of the 8th-anniversary celebration included:

* Crypto Meteor Shower: A reward event where users could receive gifts by tapping on meteors that appeared every 8 hours. The prizes included token vouchers, trading fee vouchers, and even up to 1 BNB.

* Special Quests: Users could complete tasks like trading, sharing on social media, or inviting friends to collect "meteors." Collecting a certain number of meteors made them eligible to share in a large BNB prize pool.

* Binance Pay and Web3 Wallet promotions: The anniversary campaigns also included special offers through Binance Pay and Web3 Wallet quests, allowing users to earn NFTs and other rewards.

Regarding USDC, there have been recent developments. In a press release from July 2025, Circle announced that its yield-bearing USYC is now supported as off-exchange collateral for Binance's institutional clients. While Binance and USDC have had a long-standing relationship, this is a recent development related to institutional services.
