Binance marks its ninth anniversary with impressive user expansion while venturing deeper into traditional financial products 🖤. The platform now boasts 323 million registered users spanning more than 100 countries, showcasing its reach across the globe.
Surging User Base and Activity Levels ✨
This massive audience represents around 43% of the 741 million people worldwide holding cryptocurrency. That stands in stark contrast to the under 6 million global users when the exchange first launched back in July 2017 🌙. Registered users increased by another 7% during the first half of 2026 amid fluctuating market conditions. Institutional participation rose 9% over that same stretch, highlighting ongoing interest from bigger players 📈. Cumulative trading volume hit 156 trillion after adding 11.4 trillion in the opening six months. That marked a 7.8% jump from the end of 2025 💼.
Diving Into Traditional Finance Offerings 🔮
Monthly volumes in traditional finance products have stayed above 80 billion since March. Direct stock trading debuted in June and amassed 1 billion in assets under management within 30 days while generating over 3 billion in cumulative trading volume via external reports. Tokenized U.S. equities branded as bStocks reached 100 million in assets under management in just two weeks, with 47% of trades happening outside standard U.S. hours 🕯️. Co-CEOs Yi He and Richard Teng emphasize serving both retail and institutional sides through expanded offerings. The anniversary features a community campaign called “Built by You” offering up to 4.5 million in rewards alongside an interactive virtual experience 👀.
