Key Points
In just eight years, Binance users have completed transactions totaling more than $125 trillion, surpassing the world’s GDP in 2024.
From outstanding performance and diversified products to the concept of safety first and the smooth ecosystem of savings and consumption, Binance is gradually narrowing the distance between crypto assets and daily life.
All of this is made possible by the power of the global community.
Eight years ago, Binance was born with a grand vision: to make cryptocurrencies accessible. Eight years later, the crypto industry has changed dramatically, and we have grown along the way: developing new tools, overcoming challenges, and helping tens of millions of users around the world explore the infinite possibilities of crypto assets. On this eighth anniversary, let us look back on this extraordinary journey through eight stories you may not have heard of, and look forward to the future with us.
1. Eight years, $125 trillion in transactions
Since its founding in 2017, Binance users have traded more than $125 trillion in total across spot and futures markets. This figure is 13% higher than the worlds GDP of $110.5 trillion in 2024. At the same time, approximately 217 million transactions are completed on Binance every day, which translates to approximately 2,511 transactions per second.
This amazing scale relies on Binances highly scalable infrastructure, which has carried 4.475 million requests per second during extreme peak periods, while maintaining low latency and high stability. This robustness ensures that the platform can operate with minimal latency and extremely high stability even during market peaks or sudden spikes in volatility.
Performance alone does not determine trading volume, a rich selection is also crucial. Currently, Binance offers 1,573 trading pairs, covering a wide range of choices from mainstream coins to emerging tokens, attracting diverse users around the world to trade actively 24 hours a day.
The combined effect of scale, speed and category has established Binances leading position in the crypto market.
2. Security First: Preventing $10 billion in potential fraud losses
Security is the core principle of Binance. Between December 2022 and May 2025 alone, the Binance Security Team has helped 7.5 million users freeze and recover assets, preventing nearly $10 billion in potential fraud losses. Our risk team is constantly innovating and optimizing detection systems to detect malicious activities earlier, respond faster, and adapt to changing threats.
We are not only the last line of defense, but also the guardian of our users. Binance regularly publishes security guides to help users identify scams, protect their assets, and participate in the crypto world with more confidence. These efforts may have prevented more losses than reported figures.
3. Binance Finance: User profits exceed $50 billion
Not everyone is inclined to high-frequency trading, and many users prefer to hold assets and increase their value over time. For users who are reluctant to trade frequently, Binance Finance provides an alternative. Through products such as flexible financial management, staking, and automatic investment, users have earned and saved more than 50 billion in the past eight years. This not only proves the strong market demand for crypto financial products, but also reflects Binances original intention to make financial tools more inclusive and efficient.
4. Binance Payments: $230 billion in volume, 300 million transactions
Binance Finance helps users accumulate wealth, while Binance Payment makes wealth flow without boundaries. Together, the two provide the saving and spending features exclusive to traditional banks, redesigned for a borderless, digital-first world. As of mid-2025, Binance Payment has processed more than $230 billion in funds and completed more than 300 million transactions.
This tool helps users save about $1.75 billion in cross-border remittance fees, providing low-cost, efficient payment solutions for freelancers, merchants, and global families . Binances vision is being realized: to make encryption not just a holding, but an asset that can be used anytime, anywhere in the world.
5. 20 million users trust Binance Wallet
For users who prefer on-chain operations, Binance Wallet provides a simple, secure, and self-managed entry.
20 million users around the world have used Binance Wallet to explore DeFi, DApps, and on-chain tools, and it has become an important cornerstone of Binances decentralized products. From mid-February to the end of May 2025, eligible users on the Binance Alpha platform can receive an average of $2,569 in airdrop rewards and $1,651 in TGE allocations.
6. Compliance expansion: 21.8% of employees focus on compliance
In a rapidly evolving regulatory environment, compliance is the cornerstone of long-term trust and sustainable growth. That is why Binance continues to invest heavily in strengthening its global compliance framework.
Binance expects to increase its compliance investment by 33% by 2025, and currently has 1,270 employees (21.8% of total employees) focusing on transaction monitoring, legal consulting, investigation, and policy implementation. This is Binances firm commitment to transparency, accountability, and global regulatory collaboration.
7. Giving back to society: Binance Charity Donates $40 Million
Binances mission is not only about our users, but also about the global community, including those who have not yet joined the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Our community has believed in us from the beginning, and we hope to pass on this support through Binance Charity .
Since its inception, Binance Charity has donated more than $40 million to education and disaster relief , benefiting nearly 4 million people around the world. Of this, more than $5.5 million has been used to support education, including scholarships and grants . These initiatives not only help disadvantaged students, but also lay the foundation for the long-term adoption of cryptocurrency. Whether in the classroom or in a disaster zone, Binance Charity is an important part of our efforts to promote inclusive impact.
8. Education without boundaries: Binance Academy
While our giving has reached disadvantaged communities and students around the world, we believe education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background, experience or location.
This belief is what led us to create Binance Academy , a free and open learning platform for everyone, making crypto education accessible to anyone, anywhere. With support for 29 languages, Binance Academy has content for everyone, whether you are new to crypto or an experienced user looking to advance.
To encourage learning, we have distributed more than $12.8 million in rewards through the Learn to Earn Coins program, allowing users to learn while practicing, lowering the entry barrier and helping more people understand the world of encryption in a more intuitive way.
To date, more than 64 million people have built their crypto knowledge through Binance Academy. Through donations and education, Binance is committed to fostering a more knowledgeable, diverse, and empowered global community.
Conclusion
Eight years of journey, eight sets of data, what remains unchanged is the symbiosis with the community. These numbers are engraved with every transaction, storage, payment and trust of global users in the cycle change and regulatory wave. The future is here, let us continue to work together - build, grow and embark on a new journey together.
