Notable Facts

Binance launched its own token, BNB, which has grown to become one of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap. The exchange processes billions of dollars in daily trading volume and serves users in most countries worldwide, though with restrictions in several jurisdictions including the United States (where Binance.US operates as a separate entity). In 2023, Binance and CZ faced significant regulatory action from US authorities, resulting in a $4.3 billion settlement.
