Binance is one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges by daily trading volume. Launched in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao, it enables users to buy, sell, and trade hundreds of cryptocurrencies through both spot and derivatives markets. Beyond trading, Binance offers services including savings and staking (Binance Earn), peer-to-peer trading, credit card payments, a crypto debit card, and developer tools via Binance Labs and LaunchPad. It also launched its own token, BNB, which plays a central role in its ecosystem. The platform is known for its extensive global reach and comprehensive service offerings—though it has faced regulatory scrutiny in multiple regions.
