Main TakeawaysNever share your Binance account login credentials with anyone, as your account is tied to your identity, your funds, and your transaction history. Binance is committed to protecting the security of its users and their funds. Read this blog to fully understand the risks associated with sharing or disclosing your account details. Make it a habit to regularly review your active sessions and API keys. Check which devices are currently logged into your Binance account and confirm that you recognize all of them. At Binance, your security and privacy are the foundation of everything we do. One of the most important rules for staying safe is also one of the simplest: never share your Binance account or login credentials with anyone. Not with friends, not with family, not with a business partner. Not for “joint investing,” “profit sharing,” or any “sure-win strategy.”Your Binance account is tied to your identity, your funds, your transaction history, and your security profile. Treating it as a shared resource may feel convenient or “trust-based” in the moment, but it opens the door to serious and often irreversible damage.Why Account Sharing Is So DangerousOn the surface, sharing an account can seem harmless: perhaps a sibling wants to “help” manage your trades, or a friend claims to have a proven strategy but no verified account of their own. Behind that small decision, however, lies a chain of risks you can’t fully manage.The first and most obvious danger is unauthorized access. Once someone else has your login details, they can enter your account at any time, from any device, whether you are aware of it or not. Even a trusted person can accidentally click on a phishing link, store your password insecurely, or leave a device unlocked. If that device is compromised by malware or stolen, your Binance account effectively becomes compromised too.Sharing your login also exposes your personal data. Your account contains sensitive information such as your KYC details, transaction history, and linked payment methods. Anyone with access can see how much you hold, what you trade, and how you move funds. That visibility can invite abuse, pressure, or even blackmail — not just from the person you shared with, but from anyone who accesses their device or email in the future.There is also the very real risk of financial loss. With full access, another person can place trades, enable margin or futures, create or adjust API keys, and withdraw funds. A single impulsive trade, misconfigured bot, or deliberate withdrawal can wipe out your entire balance. If that happens, it is extremely difficult to argue that the activity was “unauthorized” since you willingly gave away your credentials.Finally, account sharing violates Binance’s User Agreement. Our terms are clear: each account is meant to be used and controlled by one individual – the verified owner. Sharing breaches that agreement and may lead to restrictions, investigations, or even permanent suspension. In other words, attempting to make things easier by sharing can end with you losing access altogether.Real-World ConsequencesThese risks are not hypothetical. We see the fallout from account sharing every day.One victim stated: “I trusted my own brother with my login so we could trade together. One day I woke up to find my registered email and phone number changed. All my funds were gone.”In another case: “My friend asked to use my account for a ‘sure-win’ strategy. Two days later my 2FA was disabled, API keys created, and everything withdrawn to an unknown wallet.”These are not rare exceptions or dramatic edge cases; they are everyday examples of what can go wrong once control of an account is shared. Even when the person you trust has good intentions, circumstances change, devices are hacked. Relationships can sour, and arguments happen. What starts as “Let’s grow our money together” can quickly become “My balance is gone and I have no idea what happened.”We have also seen situations where users shared credentials for “joint investing” with partners or business acquaintances. When the relationship soured, one party quietly withdrew funds without consent. In a family setting, a relative with access to the account enabled high-risk strategies, such as leveraging or futures trading, and a short streak of bad trades wiped out everything.Once your login is shared, you are no longer the only one making decisions – but you are still the one who bears the consequences.Your account equals your responsibility. Never delegate that control.How to Protect YourselfStaying safe begins with a firm personal rule: never, under any circumstances, give out your password, 2FA codes, or login access – not in a message, over a call, as a screenshot, and definitely not to someone claiming they can “trade for you” with guaranteed profits.If family members or friends are interested in trading, support them in the right way: encourage them to open and verify their own Binance accounts. This keeps each person’s identity, risk profile, and transaction history separate. It also ensures that everyone is fully responsible for their own decisions and security.Next, make full use of Binance’s security features. Enabling passkeys and customizing your two-factor authentication (2FA) strategy adds multiple layers of protection to your account. Do not rely on a single factor, such as an email and password. Instead, pair your password with strong 2FA options and passkeys so that even if one element is compromised, your account remains difficult to breach.Withdrawal address whitelisting is another powerful safeguard. When you turn this feature on, your account will only allow withdrawals to pre-approved addresses. If an attacker or an untrusted “partner” gains access and tries to send your funds elsewhere, the whitelist acts as a hard barrier. It is the equivalent of deciding in advance which doors your money is allowed to exit through.Make it a habit to regularly review your active sessions and API keys. Check which devices are currently logged into your Binance account and confirm that you recognize all of them. If anything looks unfamiliar — a device, a location, or a login time you don’t remember — revoke that session immediately and change your password. Do the same with API keys: if you see keys you did not create, or no longer use, delete them. Unused or unknown keys are open doors you do not need.Most importantly, listen to your instincts. If someone pressures you to share account access for “joint investing,” “capital pooling,” or “easy profit sharing,” walk away. Legitimate investment opportunities never require you to share your personal exchange account, your credentials, or your security codes. A genuine partner or advisor will respect your need to keep your login private and will operate through proper, transparent arrangements.Remember: your Binance account is not a shared wallet or a group project. It is more like the keys to your house and your bank vault combined. You would not copy those keys for casual acquaintances or hand them out because someone promised fast profit. Your digital keys deserve the same level of protection.Safer Ways to Manage TradingIf you are a qualified user who needs more advanced management options, tools like sub-accounts can offer a safer structure. Rather than giving out your primary login, you can use separate sub-accounts for specific strategies or managed trading setups. This preserves clear boundaries and allows more granular control over permissions, without exposing your main credentials or identity.No matter what configuration you use, the core principle remains the same: keep your login details private at all times. Combine this with strong 2FA, passkeys, and withdrawal whitelisting, and you build a layered defense that is much harder to bypass.Educating the people around you is just as important. Talk to your loved ones about why individual account security matters. Explain that even well-meaning sharing can violate platform rules and put everyone at risk. A family that understands these risks is far less likely to be tricked by scammers or pressured into unsafe shortcuts.Final ThoughtsSecurity is an ongoing habit. The more informed you are, the better equipped you become to spot red flags early and avoid costly mistakes.To deepen your understanding, explore our FAQs, the Binance Stay Safe Blog, and the Binance Risk Sniper profile. These resources are regularly updated with practical tips, real-world case studies, and step-by-step guides on how to secure your account in an evolving threat landscape. Our recent blogs cover topics such as scam patterns, phishing tactics, and advanced account protections so you always have up-to-date security guidance at your fingertips.Your vigilance is the final and most important layer of security. By refusing to share your account, keeping your credentials private, enabling robust protections, and staying informed, you safeguard not just your assets, but your peace of mind.Further Reading4 Critical Tools to Enhance the Security of Your Binance AccountLost or Stolen Device?

Altcoins rallied on the back of new ETF approvals, M&A activity soared as TradFi and Web3 converged, and RWAs more than doubled in value on-chain. Meanwhile, perpetual DEXs crossed trillion-dollar monthly volumes and prediction markets hit cultural breakout status. If 2024 hinted at crypto’s potential, 2025 is the confirmation: crypto is firmly embedding itself into our future financial landscape.Stablecoin AdoptionThe total stablecoin market cap surpassed US$300 billion in 2025, expanding by ~47%. Addresses holding dollar and crypto-pegged stablecoins climbed 44% to 130.7 million, boosted by the passage of the GENIUS Act, which established clearer regulatory standards and streamlined stablecoin issuance.Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) AdoptionDAT companies surged in popularity as firms increasingly added digital assets to their balance sheets. Public companies now hold 1,057,299 BTC, while Ethereum-focused treasuries accumulated 6.14M ETH — roughly 5% of ETH’s total supply. From Bitcoin to Solana, DATs continue to scale through public issuance and private capital.AltcoinsAltcoins surged in 2025, with BNB outpacing the broader market, hitting a new all-time high of US$1,370 in October – fueled by rising corporate-treasury demand and growing ecosystem utility through new partnerships. BNB’s rally mirrored a wider shift in market structure, driven by deeper institutional participation and new investment vehicles.Spot ETH ETFs also posted positive monthly net inflows (except March), averaging US$1.17B, while new ETFs for XRP, SOL, LTC, HBAR, and DOGE hit the market. Solana drew standout interest, with Bitwise’s SOL ETF debuting at US$55.4M in trading volume and US$217.2M AUM. The SEC’s approval of generic listing standards on September 17 further accelerated the rollout of spot crypto ETFs across the board.Privacy CoinsPrivacy coins saw a dramatic US$41.7B single-day market cap increase on November 9 as a renewed digital-cash narrative gained momentum during market volatility. Despite compliance pressures, demand for confidentiality grew: transaction volume across the top three privacy coins rose 30% in October.Prediction MarketsWeekly trading volume across prediction markets exceeded US$3B in October, surpassing pre-election averages. Activity is concentrated on Polymarket, Kalshi, and Opinion (launched in October). Polymarket led for most of the year, bolstered by initiatives like ICE’s US$2B investment and progress toward U.S. re-entry following its CFTC-cleared acquisition of a regulated exchange and clearinghouse.DEX GrowthDEX–CEX volume ratios surged this year – spot volumes doubled, and futures volumes quadrupled, driven by the emergence of perpetual DEXs. In October alone, perpetual DEXs processed US$1.3 trillion in volume. As UX and liquidity deepen, more users are migrating toward permissionless, self-custodial trading.RWA ExpansionOn-chain RWA value climbed from US$15.5B to over US$35.5B, powered by private credit markets and tokenized commodities such as gold and U.S. Treasuries. BUIDL remains the largest on-chain asset with more than US$2.8B in tokenized value.Merger and Acquisition of Crypto CompaniesTraditional finance and crypto firms are increasingly converging as strategic partnerships and acquisitions accelerate. Merger and acquisition activity soared from US$1.3B in 2024 to US$17.7B in 2025. Deal volume more than doubled with 271 transactions in 2025 versus 128 previously.*All statistics are provided by the Binance Research Team.Final Thoughts: Community EngagementCommunity defines Binance, and BBW Dubai 2025 was our biggest celebration yet.

Main TakeawaysNo compliance program prevents every bad actor from attempting to interact with a financial platform. What matters is detection, reporting, law-enforcement cooperation, and measurable outcomes. Our compliance program is among the most advanced and well-resourced in the industry, and the data shows it: between January 2023 and June 2025, Binance reduced its direct exposure to major illicit flows categories by 96%, to levels significantly lower than other leading exchanges.Narratives built on selectively interpreted cases that misrepresent Binance’s compliance progress and operational reality ignore the measurable, globally recognized progress we have achieved on this front.Over the past several years, Binance has built one of the strongest compliance programs in the digital-asset industry. We have invested heavily in world-class talent, advanced monitoring technology, and built strong partnerships with regulators, law-enforcement agencies, and independent analytics providers around the world. Our controls, processes, and cooperation frameworks are designed to meet – and in many cases exceed – the standards applied to traditional financial institutions, and the results speak for themselves: our exposure to illicit activity has declined sharply and continues to fall, while our capabilities to detect, report, and help disrupt financial crime grow stronger every year.These are not abstract claims; they are grounded in daily collaboration with authorities across jurisdictions, independent research into our platform’s risk profile, and the lived experience of serving more than 300 million users globally in a safe and compliant way. This is the reality of how Binance operates today and how modern crypto compliance actually works.We recognize that not everyone chooses to see this full picture, and that some external narratives focus narrowly on selected cases or outdated assumptions. That makes it all the more important for us to continue communicating clearly and transparently about our compliance efforts, our responsibilities, and our ongoing progress.What Strong Compliance Looks LikeThe litmus test for an effective compliance program is the ability to identify where a problem emerges and deploy the right response quickly, and this is precisely how our systems operate.No compliance program prevents every bad actor from attempting to interact with a platform. The true test is whether an organization has the systems, people, and processes to detect suspicious activity, report it, and cooperate with law enforcement to address it.In other words, the real questions are:Do you have strong onboarding and KYC controls?Do you have advanced transaction monitoring systems?Do you detect and report suspicious activity quickly?Do you cooperate with law enforcement and support investigations?On these metrics, Binance’s program today is one of the most advanced in the world of finance. We use industry-leading third-party vendors augmented by proprietary in-house tools that identify anomalous patterns, typologies, and cross-platform behaviors. In addition, Binance has an in-house compliance team of more than 600 dedicated professionals, with the overall number of employees in compliance-related roles reaching 1,280. We invest hundreds of millions of dollars annually in compliance and are committed to increasing that investment in the coming year. Our onboarding checks, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and behavioral analytics are continuously upgraded across all major markets we serve.Progress on this front is visible in trends observable over time. Our recent analysis of industry data demonstrated a 96% reduction in Binance’s direct illicit exposure – direct inflows and outflows from or to major illicit categories, including sanctioned entities and jurisdictions, scams, terrorist financing, and illicit actor-organizations – between January 2023 and June 2025, placing us well ahead of industry averages.LE Collaboration: Most of Our Work Is Designed to Stay QuietMuch of Binance’s compliance activity is intentionally invisible. By law, we cannot discuss accounts, investigations, or specific users, even when public speculation surfaces. Our work with law-enforcement agencies often includes sensitive, ongoing investigations across multiple jurisdictions. Public commentary would put those operations at risk.What we can say is that Binance responds to tens of thousands of law-enforcement requests each year. This year alone, we have processed more than 65,000 requests, assisting authorities in confiscating more than $90 million in ill-gotten funds.We support agencies such as Europol, INTERPOL, the DEA, the NCA, Homeland Security Investigations, and multiple national cybercrime units. These collaborations have resulted in the takedown of ransomware groups, darknet markets, human-trafficking networks, and financial-fraud rings. The value of our work has been repeatedly recognized by our global law-enforcement partners.Ironically, outside observers can misinterpret suspicious activity as a failure, when in reality, the visibility exists because monitoring worked, and escalations happened as they should have. Oftentimes, cases that critics highlight to claim that Binance is allegedly not doing enough to combat illicit activity are already part of active investigations supported by Binance.Seeing the Big PictureA platform serving hundreds of millions of users will inevitably see some bad actors attempt to access its services. No global financial institution is immune: neither banks, nor fintechs, nor exchanges. What matters is the macro perspective: measurable reduction in illicit exposure; strengthened controls across onboarding, monitoring, and reporting; continuous investments in technology and personnel – hundreds of millions of dollars each year; recognition from global law-enforcement agencies. Binance is a leader in the cryptocurrency industry in each of these metrics. This is what responsible reporting would reflect, but unfortunately it is often ignored in pursuit of clicks and pageviews.Equally important is the need for journalists and analysts to critically assess the reliability of sources when relying on third-party blockchain data; not everyone in this space possesses the deep expertise they claim to have.Standing by Our Commitment to Users and ComplianceTo be clear, any suggestion that Binance is failing to uphold its compliance commitments is categorically false. These narratives ignore years of investment, global partnerships, independent validation, and concrete results.Since Binance launched in 2017, our mission has always been to build a secure, transparent, and trusted platform that protects users and advances the future of finance. The progress we’ve made is real, measurable, and recognized by those who work closest with financial crime every day: the world’s law-enforcement agencies. We remain fully committed to meeting and exceeding our regulatory obligations, and to addressing misconceptions with facts.Binance’s compliance journey is one of continuous improvement, and no headline will change that. No selective reporting will stop us from building a safer, more transparent financial system for everyone.We welcome feedback on our compliance program provided in good faith. Reporters, researchers, and independent investigators who wish to share comments or concerns can contact us directly at [email protected], and our team will review and respond as appropriate. Your input helps us build an even stronger compliance program and make crypto safer for everyone. Further ReadingUnpacking the Decline in Illicit Crypto Use: How Binance is Driving Industry-Wide ProgressBinance Drives Responsible Growth Through Compliance and Law Enforcement PartnershipsBinance Recognized as Key Partner in Thailand’s National Anti-Cybercrime Agenda as Royal Thai Police Announces Successful Operation

Main TakeawaysIf someone claims that staking returns are “guaranteed,” you should question the legitimacy of the offer: real staking rewards fluctuate.When assessing the trustworthiness of crypto staking offers, misspelled domains, newly registered websites, and a lack of community discussion are immediate red flags.Verify sources, trust only official channels, and pause before sending funds to invest – a moment of caution can save everything.Imagine logging in to check your staking rewards, only to find your balance has vanished. When an investment opportunity comes knocking with promises of high returns and little risk, it could very well be a trap laid by an investment scammer. In this article, we’ll examine a recent real-world staking scam and share practical strategies to protect your funds.Real-Life Case Study: FXRP, The XRP Staking ScamA recent scam that impacted thousands of investors worldwide shows just how convincing fake platforms have become. Many victims first encountered FXRP through YouTube videos promoting “XRP wrapping and staking” with guaranteed monthly returns of 1.5-1.8%. The site was strategically pushed to the top of major search engine results and referenced across multiple online articles, creating a very convincing illusion of legitimacy.Many quickly signed up, created accounts, and sent their XRP to the wallet addresses provided by the platform, believing their funds were safely staked.However, when victims later tried to unstake or withdraw their funds, they hit a wall. They were met with repeated excuses, such as claims of missing destination tags or vague “technical issues,” followed by demands for additional fees to proceed. Shortly after, the website went offline, support vanished, and the wallets that received the funds were emptied. All the money was gone – permanently.How to Spot Investment Scams in SecondsBefore depositing a single dollar, take a moment to run through these quick checks:Check the domain spelling carefully Legitimate platforms use clear, sensible web addresses. Scammers, on the other hand, rely on subtle misspellings most people overlook. One odd or missing letter is rarely an accident and is often a deliberate attempt to deceive.Check when the domain was registeredA quick WHOIS lookup can reveal when a domain was created. If it was registered only weeks or months ago, that’s a major red flag. Established platforms typically have domains that are years old, while scammers often register cheap, new domains and abandon them after the first wave of victims.Cross-check legitimacy on forums or social mediaSearch the exact site name on Reddit, X (Twitter), or Telegram. If nothing credible shows up – no genuine user reviews, no mentions from official project channels, and no discussion in established crypto communities – it’s a major red flag. Legitimate services get talked about; scam sites often stay invisible until users start reporting losses.Check for verifiable proof Legitimate staking or yield services are always officially referenced by the token’s own project. For example, Ripple will never ask users to send funds to a random wallet for “wrapping.” If there’s no whitepaper, no independent audit, and no mention on the project’s official website or verified channels, the service isn’t legitimate.Be wary of “guaranteed” or unrealistic returns Promises of fixed monthly profits, such as 1.5-1.8% every month regardless of market conditions, are a classic scam signal. Legitimate staking and yield rewards fluctuate with network activity and market dynamics and are never guaranteed.Final ThoughtsBefore committing your funds, slow down, verify every detail, and rely only on services that are officially endorsed and independently verified. While Binance continues to invest in education, tools, and real-time alerts through resources like our FAQs, Know Your Scam series, and Binance Risk Sniper profile on Square, your awareness remains the strongest safeguard.Further ReadingP2P Crypto Safety – How to Spot and Avoid Pay-to-Canceled-Order ScamsWeb3 Security: Preventing SMS Spoofing AttacksShare-Seed-Phrase Scams: A Binance Guide to Protecting Yourself Against a Rising Threat

Main TakeawaysLiquidity follows flow — and flow favors Binance, according to an analysis by data firm Kaiko. In Binance’s early days, fast listings, stablecoin-denominated markets, and reliable execution attracted participation and liquidity that eventually transformed it into the primary venue for spot crypto price discovery.As Binance’s liquidity flywheel emerged, tighter spreads lowered execution costs, attracting  further participation and compounding depth, thus creating a virtuous cycle that has placed Binance at the center of global crypto adoption and allowed it to remain remarkably resilient through crashes, regulatory uncertainty, and deleveraging events.Clearer regulation and diversified quote rails are now powering the next phase of growth. Heightened institutional participation and regulatory wins like Binance’s new ADGM license are drawing in more capital, reinforcing the same liquidity flywheel originally powered by retail.Binance crossed a remarkable milestone in December 2025: 300 million registered users. While the headline is impressive, the deeper story lies in something even more foundational — a liquidity engine built over eight years that has scaled through every kind of market. From its first months in 2017 to the highly automated, institutionally driven market of today, Binance’s core advantage has remained consistent: deep, resilient order books that attract traders, which in turn attract more liquidity, which then pulls in more users. The result is a classic compounding flywheel.This analysis is based on a comprehensive market microstructure report produced by Kaiko, one of the world’s leading providers of institutional-grade digital asset data. This blog distills Kaiko’s findings to help traders understand the evolving liquidity landscape and what it means for execution quality on Binance today.The Rise of a Liquidity MachineWhen Binance launched in 2017, the broader crypto exchange ecosystem still struggled with basic infrastructure challenges — slow interfaces, frequent downtime, and fragmented liquidity. Binance entered with a sharper focus on execution quality and accessibility. One early choice proved pivotal: positioning stablecoin quote markets at the center of the trading experience. USDT pairs became the global language of liquidity, simplifying access for traders across every region and fiat system.Just as important was Binance’s fast, broad approach to listings. By giving emerging projects an early, liquid venue, Binance became the default home for new narratives. As more traders gravitated to these markets, liquidity naturally thickened. Professional market makers began quoting tighter spreads, retail users found it easier to trade, and the cycle reinforced itself.Figure 1: Total Listed Pairs Across Centralized Exchanges. Source: Kaiko The listed-pairs chart illustrates how dramatically Binance pulled ahead from 2019 onward. By offering breadth without sacrificing reliability, Binance consolidated trading activity into a single venue even as the crypto ecosystem expanded.The real proving ground came in the 2020-2021 bull cycle. Trade counts and volumes surged, yet core pairs such as BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT often maintained spreads at or near the minimum tick size. This was the first large-scale demonstration that Binance’s matching engine and liquidity model could handle exponential demand without breaking.Weathering Shocks: 2022–2024The post-bull period flipped optimism into stress. The industry was hit by deleveraging, exchange failures, and fragmented policy environments. On top of these global pressures, certain regions imposed restrictions that affected how and where users could trade.Yet Binance’s order books consistently showed the same behavioral signature: spreads widened during shock events, depth temporarily contracted, but both recovered predictably. Instead of prolonged dysfunction, markets regained equilibrium in hours or days — a critical sign that professional liquidity providers remained willing to quote on Binance even during fragile conditions.Regulation, often seen as a headwind in the industry’s early days, eventually became part of the solution. The approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs in early 2024 brought in more structured institutional capital. Soon after, frameworks began to emerge across key jurisdictions that delivered long-awaited clarity around crypto asset issuance and exchange operations. These changes increased the diversity and consistency of flows routing into Binance’s books.At the same time, stablecoin liquidity matured beyond a single issuer. While USDT remained dominant, growing USDC and FDUSD markets provided a more diversified set of quote rails. Liquidity became resilient because it was concentrated in multiple strong corridors rather than one.Figure 2: BTC-USDT Market Depth Across Exchanges. Source: KaikoOver time, Binance’s share of depth within 1% of the midprice grew steadily compared to other exchanges. This metric, not just volume, is the invisible backbone of price discovery — the reason trades clear smoothly even when markets move fast.A Closer Look at December 1, 2025A single day of observation that Kaiko analysts zoom in on captures the scale of Binance’s infrastructure. On December 1, 2025, Binance processed $20 billion in spot volume across 61.9 million trades, while the two biggest global competitors processed $3.6 billion across 6.2 million trades and $3 billion across 9.9 million trades, respectively.The enormous difference in trade counts shows how Binance processes vast numbers of small orders. This is characteristic of two things: a broad global retail base trading in small sizes, and algorithmic execution strategies slicing orders into micro-trades to minimize impact. For market structure, this matters: high message throughput and tight feedback loops enable consistently narrow spreads.Figure 3: Total CEX Volume Since 2016. Source: Kaiko Binance’s share of global volume accelerated starting in 2019 and has remained dominant across cycles.Figure 4: Share of Trade Volume. Source: KaikoEven as the exchange landscape evolved, Binance maintained roughly 60% of CEX spot volume, a sign that network effects, once established, are difficult to dislodge.During high-volatility stretches, such as the October 2025 surge where total daily spot volume exceeded $60 billion, Binance’s order books continued to print and refill. Execution naturally took longer, but the microstructure remained functional. Stress revealed elasticity rather than fragility.Inside the Order Books: Depth, Spreads, and RhythmLiquidity becomes meaningful only when it remains present close to the midprice. Across BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP, Binance’s depth at both 0.1% and 1% price bands has now surpassed levels seen before the market disruptions of 2022. This means that even after a turbulent few years, book quality improved rather than deteriorated, a sign of structural rather than cyclical strength.Figure 5: Evolution of Depth. Source: KaikoThe charts show depth dipping during crises (e.g., Luna, FTX) but rebuilding to stronger levels afterward. By late 2025, the books were not merely restored, but materially thicker across multiple assets.One subtle but important characteristic is how liquidity varies by time of day.USDT pairs, with a global user base, show no “dead hours.”USD and EUR pairs tend to deepen during regional trading hours, reflecting institutional behavior tied to fiat settlement windows.These charts show liquidity forming a rhythmic pattern throughout the day, but never disappearing. For global execution strategies, whether human or algorithmic, round-the-clock reliability is invaluable.Who Is Trading? Retail, Algos, and Institutional FlowsOne way to infer the composition of users is by analyzing average trade sizes and pair-level concentration. As the report notes, BTC accounts for roughly 28.6% of Binance’s spot volume, ETH contributes around 22%, while assets like SOL and various stablecoin-denominated altcoins fill the rest. This distribution suggests a healthy blend of blue-chip demand and long-tail exploration.Figure 6: Average BTC-USDT Trade Size. Source: KaikoThe stable average trade size — typically below 0.008 BTC — aligns with a mix of retail trades and algorithmic slicing. Large, infrequent blocks would create visible jumps; instead, the flow is smooth and continuous.Figure 7: Total Volume by Pair Since Launch. Source: KaikoA treemap of lifetime volumes highlights how central BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT remain, while also showing meaningful liquidity in newer stablecoin markets like FDUSD. This reflects both enduring trader preferences and Binance’s long-running push to maintain diversified, resilient quote markets.Depth distribution by time of day shows that retail and institutional strategies coexist comfortably. Retail participation thickens the book close to the mid, while institutions often choose specific windows or use wider price bands to execute larger trades. Instead of crowding each other out, these behaviors create layered liquidity that stabilizes the market.A New Phase: Regulation, Network Effects, and the ADGM LicenseThe ADGM license granted to Binance in December 2025 marks a significant step in our further global trajectory. Starting January 5, 2026, Binance entities will operate under Abu Dhabi’s regulatory framework as an exchange, clearinghouse, and broker-dealer, mirroring the familiar separation of functions and allowing the platform to meet globally recognized standards of governance, risk management, and investor protection, thus enhancing regulatory clarity and credibility for users, institutions, and partners worldwide. Regulatory clarity tends to have a flywheel of its own: institutions gain confidence to route larger flows, deeper flows tighten spreads, and improved execution quality attracts even more users. When combined with Binance’s already leading liquidity position, these developments extend the platform’s network effects rather than merely preserving them.Thus, the milestone of 300 million Binance users represents the maturing of crypto trading into a mainstream global financial behavior, supported by professional-grade infrastructure.Final ThoughtsThe story of Binance’s rise is ultimately a story of a gradual, compounding power of liquidity. For everyday traders, the takeaway is that liquidity determines your real execution quality. Understanding depth, spreads, and order-book behavior by time of day means understanding where and how your trades will actually fill.According to Kaiko’s analysis, as of late 2025, Binance continues to offer some of the deepest, most resilient liquidity in the crypto ecosystem. It is this structural strength that underpins our platform’s growth and its role in shaping global crypto markets in the years ahead.Further ReadingKaiko: Liquidity Flywheel Drives Binance to 300 Million UsersBinance Becomes The First Crypto Exchange to Secure a Global License Under ADGM Framework300M Users: One Community.

Main TakeawaysBinance has achieved the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, a global standard for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) governance, highlighting our commitment to ethical, transparent, and secure AI deployment.We continue to enhance the safety, reliability, and accountability of our AI systems, aligning with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act.Binance streamlines compliance and auditing processes while enabling efficient, scalable AI governance through familiar systems and clear team responsibilities.We are excited to share a major milestone in our commitment to responsible innovation: Binance has earned the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, a global standard for responsible artificial intelligence (AI) governance. This certification highlights our commitment to ethical, transparent, and secure AI deployment across our operations. It was awarded by A-LIGN, a trusted compliance assessor accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to perform ISO/IEC 42001 certifications.What Does Earning This Certification Mean?Published in December 2023, ISO/IEC 42001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS). It guides organizations in the responsible governance and management of AI technologies. At Binance, this certification validates the robust framework we’ve built around responsible AI governance. By adopting this framework across the full AI lifecycle, we enhance the safety, reliability, and accountability of our AI systems, aligning with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act.The certification covers not only how we use AI internally but also how we design, deploy, and manage AI systems across the organization. It ensures that AI tools are applied responsibly, in compliance with international standards, and supports the secure development, deployment, and ongoing monitoring of AI technologies. Importantly, it also requires assessing the societal impacts and effects on individuals and groups of individuals prior to deployment. Jimmy Su, Binance’s Chief Security Officer, emphasized our dedication to the highest standards of AI governance: “ISO/IEC 42001 validates the structure we have built around responsible AI. Governance, in simple terms, means having clear rules and real oversight, but in practice it is about ensuring our AI behaves as intended even as it grows more complex. Our team supports this through thorough risk assessments, strong data protections, and continuous monitoring that keep our systems safe, predictable, and aligned with global standards.”Unified Approach to Responsible InnovationISO/IEC 42001 also integrates smoothly with our existing ISO certifications, including ISO 27001 for security, ISO 27701 for privacy, and ISO 22301 for business continuity. This unified approach streamlines our compliance and auditing processes, enabling efficient and scalable AI governance through familiar systems and clear team responsibilities.“Achieving ISO/IEC 42001 certification reflects Binance’s strong commitment to responsible innovation,” shared Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance. “Together with our recent full regulatory authorization from ADGM’s FSRA, it underscores the standards of governance and oversight we are building globally. As AI technologies evolve, we will continue to uphold the highest levels of transparency and user protection to strengthen trust across the Web3 industry.”Barry Young, Binance's Chief Data Protection Officer, noted that achieving the ISO 42001 certification in responsible AI governance makes Binance one of only a handful of companies in the world to simultaneously hold ISO certificates for security, privacy, and AI governance. He added: "This achievement underlines our continuing focus and commitment to innovation and using cutting-edge technology without compromising the personal data of our 300M+ users. By implementing a Privacy by Design methodology, we can ensure that data protection considerations are at the forefront of our AI deployment, and that we are behaving both ethically and responsibly."As we look ahead, responsible AI will be a cornerstone of how Binance continues to build for the future of finance. By combining rigorous governance with practical innovation, we aim to set a standard for how AI can be deployed safely and ethically in crypto – protecting users, supporting regulators’ objectives, and strengthening trust in Web3 infrastructure for years to come.Further ReadingBinance Becomes The First Crypto Exchange to Secure a Global License Under ADGM FrameworkBinance Drives Responsible Growth Through Compliance and Law Enforcement PartnershipsThe Human Firewall: Meet the Teams Powering Binance's User Safety Commitment

Main TakeawaysMeme Rush is a seamless hub to discover meme tokens early across different platforms, including Four.Meme and Pump.Fun, accessible via Binance Wallet.Meme Rush fully supports Four.Meme’s exclusive X Mode feature, allowing you to take part in meme token launches with fairplay mechanics designed to limit bot activity.Meme Rank allows you to keep track of token performance after migration, helping you identify which meme tokens are building momentum.Meme tokens move fast and often attract attention in a very short time. If you’ve spent any time in crypto, you’ve probably seen occasional tokens named after animals or internet jokes turn into viral sensations almost overnight. Because things move so quickly, it’s hard to keep track of new launches or know where to look. Meme Rush is built to solve exactly that, helping you discover and engage with new meme tokens earlier in the lifecycle and in a more structured and secure manner, right through the Binance Wallet interface.In this blog, we’ll walk through what Meme Rush is, how Meme Rank fits in, why these features matter, and how you can start using them today.What is Meme RushMeme Rush gives you a live view of new meme tokens from multiple platforms, including Four.Meme and Pump.Fun, as they launch on-chain through a simple yet powerful mechanism: the bonding curve. The bonding curve is a transparent, three-stage price model that rewards early adopters. The price of a token on a bonding curve is set by a fixed formula and changes based on demand from traders. Higher demand increases the token’s price, while lower demand moves it down. If enough tokens have been purchased, liquidity migrates to a DEX and trading becomes open to all usersSome meme tokens that launch on Four.Meme will use an exclusive launch feature called X Mode (available only on Four.Meme and is designed to deter bot activity. In Meme Rush, users can turn on the “X Mode” filter to show only tokens that were launched using Four.Meme’s X Mode. By aggregating launches from multiple platforms and surfacing them at their earliest stages, Meme Rush gives you one place to track new meme tokens as they appear on-chain.What is Four.Meme X ModeTo understand this better, it helps to look at what Four.Meme X Mode actually is.X Mode is an exclusive launch setting on Four.Meme. It uses fairness mechanics designed to combat bot activity and automated sniping during the early blocks of a token launch. This includes dynamic fee adjustments and an automatic post-launch buyback and burn system.Meme Rush fully supports viewing and tracking Four.Meme X Mode launches, giving Binance Wallet users a fairer environment to participate in meme token launches. But a meme token’s launch is only the first step. What happens after? Meme Rank, a leaderboard inside the Binance Wallet interface, takes things a step further with powerful tools that help you track performance and identify the next viral meme token.Please note: Binance Wallet does not operate Four.Meme or X Mode.How Meme Rank Helps You Find PotentialNot every meme token is a short-lived trend. Some continue to grow and build active communities. A Binance-exclusive feature, Meme Rank gives you a real-time overview of new meme tokens after they’ve migrated to a DEX, including all tokens launched on Four.meme (both X Mode and Free Mode). Top-ranking meme tokens may even be evaluated for a potential spotlight on Binance Alpha, a discovery platform for emerging crypto projects. This is not guaranteed and is always subject to Binance’s own criteria and internal review.Seeing a token climb the rankings is one thing, but understanding what’s driving that momentum is another. That’s where Meme Rank’s exclusive metrics come in. Here’s a look at what data is available to you:Binance Traders: Number of unique Binance (Keyless) Wallet users who traded the token in the past 7 days.Binance Transactions (past 7 days): Total number of token transactions by Binance (Keyless) Wallet users in the past 7 days.Binance Holders: Number of unique Binance (Keyless) Wallet users currently holding the token.Binance Volume: Total trading volume of the token by Binance Wallet (Keyless) users in the past 7 days.As these metrics are based on behavior from real, verified users inside Binance Wallet, you’ll have a better idea of which meme tokens are getting real interest or artificial on-chain metrics from bots. How to Access Meme Rank and Four.Meme X ModeMeme RankOn the Binance app: Switch to Binance Wallet at the top of your home screen, then go to [Markets] > [Meme Rank].Using the Web version: Open the [Meme Rush] dropdown, then select [Meme Rank].Four.meme X ModeIf you want to specifically view tokens using X Mode:On the Binance App: Switch to Binance Wallet then go to [Markets] > [Meme Rush], and then toggle [X Mode].Using the Web version: Go to [Meme Rush], then toggle [X Mode].Final ThoughtsMeme Rush and Meme Rank are built to give you structure in one of the fastest moving corners of crypto. Discover meme tokens early, follow them after migration, and use real activity signals from Binance Wallet users to decide what deserves a closer look.Just remember, these features are here to help you explore, not to tell you what to buy. Always do your own research, understand the risks, and move at a pace that feels right for you.Please note: Digital Assets featured in Meme Rush and Meme Rank, including so-called “meme coins” are highly speculative digital assets, launched through third-party memecoin launchpad, which are token launch platforms that anyone can use to issue and launch a token. These digital assets are only made accessible to you in a seamless manner on the Binance Wallet Interface. These digital assets possess a highly speculative nature, are extremely volatile, do not purport to have an inherent value or utility, and therefore involve a significant risk of loss. You understand and accept that you will be trading on liquidity pools operated by a third-party token launch platform. Binance does not guarantee the success or performance of any digital asset accessible on Meme Rush and you may lose all or a significant part of your investment if you invest using Meme Rush. You should always do your own research before investing in any digital asset, including digital assets displayed in Meme Rush and Binance Exclusive.

Let’s first dive into how you can optimize your investment strategy with recurring orders.DCA Effortlessly with Convert Recurring“Time in the market beats timing the market.” Instead of trying to predict when prices will peak or dip, many investors prefer to invest smaller amounts on a regular schedule.This strategy is known as dollar-cost averaging (DCA), a simple strategy that helps you build a position steadily and reduce the impact of timing mistakes.With Convert Recurring, DCA is easy to set and easy to stick with. Here’s a breakdown of what you can do with Convert Recurring:Maximum execution period: Choose how long your plan runs (weeks or months) so you  never “set and forget” beyond your comfort zone.Limit price ranges: Only execute within the price bands you define. Entry prices stay aligned with your strategy and risk tolerance.Capped investments: Set the total amount you want to allocate to your recurring plan Do a Test Run with the Convert Recurring Plan SimulatorBefore you start trading with real money, feel free to test run your plan with the Convert Recurring Plan Simulator.The Recurring Plan Simulator projects cost, potential PnL ranges, and how different settings could perform over time. Compare scenarios side by side—weekly vs. monthly, wide vs. tight price ranges, higher vs. lower caps. Finetune settings to match your goals and risk tolerance.Earn While You Wait with Convert Limit OrdersLimit orders traditionally reserve your funds until your target price is hit. Now, you can put those assets to work at the same time.When placing a Convert Limit Order, you can choose to have the reserved assets generate APR rewards through Flexible Savings:The assets are held in your Earn wallet and continue to accrue rewards while your Limit order is active.If the order fills, the system automatically redeems only the amount needed from your Earn wallet to execute the trade.If you cancel the order or it expires, your assets remain in your Earn wallet and keep earning until you decide to redeem or use them elsewhere.This way, you don’t have to choose between locking in your funds for a trade and putting them to work through our  passive reward products.Introducing Take Profit and Stop Loss for Convert Instant OrdersOnce you’ve entered a position, constantly watching price movements isn’t practical for most users. That’s where Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) come in.With TP/SL embedded directly into Convert Instant Orders, you make the plan ahead of time. Choose a target price for your Take Profit to execute, and a Stop Loss to minimize risk if the move deteriorates.More importantly, TP/SL orders take the emotion out of trading. Instead of obsessing over every tick, you decide the profit you’re happy to take and the loss you’re prepared to accept.How to create a TP/SL order on Binance ConvertSetting your first TP/SL on Convert is simple:Step 1: Enable advanced settings for TP/SL by following the steps below: Step 2: Enter the Take Profit price you want the system to automatically lock in gains, and the Stop Loss price you want the system to close the position.Step 3: Preview the conversion quote and confirm the trade if you’re satisfied with the rate.👉 Set your first TP/SL order on Binance ConvertBinance Convert: More Precision, Same SimplicityEverything we’ve introduced fits seamlessly into the existing Convert experience. Just like it’s always been, there’s no charts, no order book, and no technical indicators to master.Open Convert today and try creating a TP/SL on your next order, or set up a recurring plan and run it through the Simulator.

Main TakeawaysThis blog summarizes the findings of the recent Binance Research report discussing key developments in crypto markets over the past month. In November, the crypto market cap fell 15.43% amid uncertainty over the Fed’s December decision, expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike, and steep declines in treasury firms like Strategy and Bitmine.Despite ongoing macro pressures, December may still see a brief rebound as profit-taking slows and dip buyers step in during a thinly traded holiday market.This blog explores key Web3 developments in November 2025 to provide an overview of the ecosystem’s current state. We analyze the performance of crypto, DeFi, and NFT markets before previewing major events to look out for in December 2025.Crypto Market Performance in November 2025In November 2025, total cryptocurrency market capitalization dropped by 15.43%, extending the previous month’s downtrend as bearish sentiment and macro uncertainty deepened. Investors remained focused on the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting in December, uncertain whether another 25-basis-point rate cut would materialize. At the same time, the Bank of Japan was expected to raise its benchmark rate by 25 basis points, heightening concerns that a reversal of the yen carry trade could trigger further volatility across global markets.Bitcoin and ether both saw declines in market dominance, falling to 58.7% and 11.6% respectively, as capital flowed out of major digital assets. Treasury companies were also hit hard by the downturn — leading players Strategy and Bitmine saw their share prices plunge by 36% and 38%. Looking ahead, market participants anticipate that December could bring a modest rebound as profit-taking slows and dip buyers return. With trading volumes expected to thin during the holiday period, this environment may create conditions for a short-lived recovery despite persistent macroeconomic headwinds.Monthly crypto market capitalization decreased by 15.4% in NovemberSource: CoinGecko. As of November 30, 2025 Monthly price performance of the top 10 coins by market capitalization Source: CoinMarketCap. As of November 30, 2025 In November, nearly all major cryptocurrencies extended their declines, with only BCH (-0.7%) and TRX (-4.2%) showing relatively mild pullbacks. XRP (-11.5%) and DOGE (-19.3%) posted sharper losses, though XRP stood out with strong investor interest: both Franklin and Grayscale launched XRP spot ETFs, attracting more than US$60M in net inflows on day one, signaling robust institutional demand. In contrast, Grayscale’s DOGE ETF saw weak debut trading volume, reflecting limited appetite for more speculative assets during a risk-off month.The largest blue-chip assets also suffered steep declines. Bitcoin fell 16.7%, briefly dipping to US$80K before rebounding to end the month near US$87K. At the same time, BTC spot ETFs saw nearly US$4B in outflows driven by widespread panic selling. BNB dropped 18.4%, while ETH declined 21.3%, although anticipation remains high for Ethereum’s upcoming December Fusaka upgrade, which introduces PeerDAS and Verkle Trees to improve scalability and L2 performance. SOL fell 25.5% despite continued daily inflows into Solana spot ETFs, suggesting strong fundamentals but overwhelming macro pressure.The biggest losers came from higher-beta tokens. HYPE plunged 26.7%, weighed down by uncertainty ahead of major linear token unlocks for core contributors. The steepest decline among major assets was ADA, which sank 31% after a chain split triggered by a transaction exploiting a network bug. This technical setback, combined with already fragile market sentiment, made ADA the worst performer of the month.Decentralized Finance (DeFi)TVL share of top blockchainsSource: DeFiLlama. As of November 30, 2025  In November 2025, DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL) plunged 20.8% month-on-month as stablecoin de-pegs and a major Balancer hack triggered widespread liquidity outflows, with only BNB Chain and Arbitrum gaining market share among the top ecosystems. Uniswap’s proposed “fee switch” upgrade, redirecting part of protocol fees from liquidity providers to UNI holders via a token-burn mechanism, sparked debate over potential value accrual versus reduced LP incentives. Stablecoin activity rose despite a 0.37% drop in total market capitalization, the sector’s first decline since 2022, driven by higher TradFi yields, crypto market pullbacks, and leveraged position unwinds. USDC saw slight growth while USDT contracted, further widening the gap between the two leading stablecoins as investor risk aversion deepened.Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)Monthly NFT trading volumeSource: CryptoSlam. As of November 30, 2025In November 2025, the NFT market experienced a sharp contraction, with total sales volume dropping 48.2% amid broader crypto market weakness. Ethereum-based NFTs remained the leading segment but saw a steep 70% decline, while BNB, Bitcoin, and Base Chain NFTs also recorded heavy losses of 74%, 43%, and 67% respectively. Among top collections, DMarket on Mythos rose to first place, surpassing popular Ethereum projects like Pudgy Penguins and CryptoPunks, while DX Terminal on Base fell from the top spot to seventh after a 77% drop in volume. The downturn reflected NFTs’ heightened sensitivity to speculative pullbacks, resulting in an even deeper drop in activity compared to the overall crypto market.Upcoming Events and Token UnlocksTo help users stay updated on the latest Web3 news, the Binance Research team has summarized notable events and token unlocks for the month to come.

Main TakeawaysBinance Indication of Interest (IOI) is a new tool within our OTC and Execution Services suite, complementing our Request-for-Quote (RFQ) and high-touch execution offerings.Designed for VIP and institutional traders, IOI enables the private signaling of buy or sell interest (Spot IOI) as well as borrowing or lending intentions (Loan IOI), facilitating early liquidity discovery for improved trade matching.All Indications of Interest are submitted privately, ensuring that intentions remain confidential and are not revealed on the public order book.Note: This is a general announcement. Certain products and services may not be available in your region.Institutional trading and financing needs have evolved significantly with the growth of the crypto assets market. For VIP clients and sophisticated traders, executing large block trades or facilitating loan lending and borrowing without revealing their intent to the broader market remains a critical challenge.Public order books can potentially exacerbate these challenges by widening spreads and increasing slippage risk, which in turn heightens market volatility. Meanwhile, blind requests for quotes may be inefficient and risk exposing trading intentions to competitors. To bridge this gap, Binance offers the Indication of Interest (IOI) feature, enabling private price discovery while minimizing market impact.VIP and institutional clients can now submit Indications of Interest (IOIs) through the Binance OTC and Execution Service suite, enabling them to privately signal their interest in block trading and loan transactions.In this article, we’ll explain what IOI is, how it works, and where it can add value to your trading workflow.What is Indication of Interest (IOI) on Binance?An Indication of Interest (IOI) is a private, non‑binding expression of intent to either 1) buy or sell a specific asset or 2) borrow or lend capital. In traditional finance, IOIs are widely used to help gauge market interest and potential liquidity without making a firm commitment. They are especially valuable for large or sensitive transactions. On Binance, IOI is divided into two core functions: Spot IOI and Loan IOI. Both operate off‑book and route through our OTC trading desk. Spot IOI Spot IOI enables traders to express buy or sell interest for a specific asset at a targeted price level. By submitting a Spot IOI, you are communicating your intent directly to our OTC trading desk, which will actively work to match your order with a counterparty through the industry’s largest network of liquidity providers.Loan IOI Integrated with Binance’s Fixed Rate Loan infrastructure, the Loan IOI function provides a discreet channel for users to signal borrowing or lending interest. Specify custom loan terms, and our OTC trading desk will then match you with suitable counterparties. The terms of any Fixed Rate Loan will be governed by a separate agreement. IOI BlotterLocated on the IOI product page, the order blotter provides a clear overview of all active and completed IOI orders, enhancing tracking, reporting, and communication within user teams and the Binance OTC desk.Benefits of Binance Indication of Interest (IOI)Private Signaling A block trader buying large amounts of a mid-cap altcoin risks moving the price by placing a public order, as others may react, repost quotes, and push the price away from the intended levels. An IOI lets traders discreetly signal interest to potential counterparties, via the Binance OTC Desk, without exposing information to the broader market. For Binance VIP clients, IOI information is visible only to our matching engine and relevant internal teams,  minimizing slippage and avoiding unwanted attention. You set the parameters, and the IOI system routes your interest; if there’s no match, your intent remains invisible and off-book.Early Liquidity IdentificationAn IOI promptly indicates whether there are willing buyers or sellers at your desired price and size. Identifying an interested counterparty enables you to pursue better pricing with confidence, knowing there is sufficient liquidity and genuine interest. If no response is received, you can quickly reassess your strategy—saving time and minimizing market impact.Improved Trade MatchingIOIs act as an initial point of contact, enabling you to review terms, size, and price ranges discreetly. This privacy is especially valuable for relatively illiquid assets, giving you time to gather and compare potential offers.If a trade isn’t favorable, you can pause and revisit it later for a better match rather than proceeding blindly. Alternatively, you can keep the IOI active, allowing improved counterparty offers to emerge. Binance’s advanced matching system then identifies the best available offer, providing a custom price quote optimized to your strategy.Enhanced Capital Flexibility and EfficiencyHigh-net-worth and institutional participants often face capital allocation inefficiencies, commonly due to inactive capital sitting idle or insufficient liquidity to scale operations. Loan IOI addresses these challenges by offering customizable loan amounts, rates, and durations tailored to your specific needs.Step-by-Step: How to Register an IOI on BinanceRegistering your first Indication of Interest on Binance is simple and intuitive. Here’s how it works: 1) Access the IOI platform: Navigate to the Binance OTC & Execution Services product page via your VIP Portal or mobile app, then select the ‘IOI’ tab2) Choose Spot IOI or Loan IOI: Select the product that best aligns with your trading strategy and capital allocation goals. You can indicate buy or sell interests for Spot IOI, or supply or borrow interests for Loan IOI.3) Set Your Custom Parameters and Register Your Interest: Each function requires you to input specific parameters. Customize your interest to fit your needs, review the details carefully, then click submit.4) Track Your Registrations: The IOI blotter allows you to track both open and completed interest registrations in one place, streamlining position management.Final ThoughtsBuilt for institutional traders, IOI provides a secure and discreet channel to assess market interest before executing large trades.By adopting proven tools and standards from traditional finance (TradFi), we are building a comprehensive suite of execution services that play a vital role in onboarding the next generation of institutional investors to crypto. This launch underscores Binance’s commitment to continuously elevating the institutional crypto experience.To learn more about IOI or our full service suite, contact the Binance OTC & Execution Services team for eligibility details and a comprehensive overview.Further ReadingBinance OTC & Execution ServicesBinance Execution Services – Fast, Efficient Trading for Large Crypto OrdersBinance OTC Launches Options RFQ
