8 years and 8 revolutionary achievements
8 amazing years of innovation — a journey that wouldn't have been possible without you!
2017 – The Launch
In July 2017, Binance launched with the goal of making cryptocurrencies accessible to everyone. Within months, millions joined us—and together, we laid the foundation for what would become the world’s largest cryptocurrency ecosystem. Your trust has helped us grow from a simple trading platform into a global movement.
2018 – Learning Without Borders
Cryptocurrencies will become part of mainstream culture when knowledge is free and accessible to everyone. In 2018, we launched the Binance Academy — a free educational platform that has since helped empower over 30 million learners worldwide.
2019 – Increased Accessibility for All Types of Traders
In 2019, Binance introduced a robust suite of trading tools—from the Binance Futures and Debit platform to over-the-counter (OTC) and P2P trading. Whether you're a casual user or a professional trader, you'll always find a new way to trade, invest, or begin your cryptocurrency journey. Thanks to your participation, millions of users gained access to advanced tools and gateways for buying cryptocurrencies with their native currencies, all designed to meet their needs.
2020 – Your Cryptocurrency Invests for You
With Binance Earn, Launch Pool, and Liquidity Swap, we provided users with powerful and simple ways to grow their cryptocurrency holdings. From dividends to passive income, 2020 was a turning point for cryptocurrencies. Over 11 million users now use Binance Earn — and this is made possible thanks to your participation.
2021 – Making Crypto Payments Easy
We launched Binance Pay to transform cryptocurrency into a practical, everyday payment tool. Users can now send and receive cryptocurrency payments globally—borderless, contactless, and seamless. Together, we've moved from holding cryptocurrency to using it—every day.
2022 – Building Trust and Growing Globally
While the cryptocurrency markets faced challenges, Binance focused on its most important priorities: protecting users and building long-term trust. We boosted our Secure Asset Fund to $1 billion, launched Proof-of-Reserve, and secured regulatory licenses in France, Italy, Spain, and other countries. Thanks to your continued trust, Binance is now the most licensed platform in the world—always with a focus on user protection.
2023 – Ownership in Your Hands
We launched the Binance Wallet (formerly Binance Web3 Wallet) – a self-custodian wallet seamlessly integrated into the Binance app. Now, users can own, link, and manage assets across chains – with security and freedom. You asked for control; we delivered the tools to help you lead your crypto journey.
Power to the People: Early Access and Real Choice
This year, Binance gave users more control than ever before—the power to discover, decide, and participate. Binance Alpha helped millions of users enjoy early access to new tokens, ideas, and future visions. With In-List and Out-List voting, users helped shape the future of cryptocurrency listings. And with Megadrop, even more users joined the Web 3.0 ecosystem through fair and fun token launches. 2024 became the year early access and community choice took center stage.
