In 2017, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) founded Binance with a simple yet powerful realization: the financial system was broken, excluding billions of people from economic opportunity. What started as a cryptocurrency exchange quickly evolved into something far greater - a comprehensive blockchain ecosystem designed to democratize finance. Within just six months, Binance became the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, a testament to the urgent global demand for more accessible financial infrastructure.
Today, Binance serves over 300 million users across more than 100 countries, offering an unmatched portfolio of digital-asset products that span trading, finance, education, research, payments, institutional services, and Web3 features. The company is committed to advancing the freedom of money, believing everyone should have the ability to earn, hold, spend, share, and give their money - regardless of who they are or where they come from. Built on industry-leading security, user fund transparency, and lightning-fast trading engine speed, Binance leverages the power of digital assets and blockchain to build an inclusive financial ecosystem that improves financial access for people around the world.
