Binance was founded by Changpeng “CZ” Zhao in 2017, a developer who had previously created high frequency trading software. Initially based in China, Binance later relocated to Japan following the Chinese government’s increasing regulation of cryptocurrency.

Binance isn’t just an exchange: it is an entire ecosystem offering a range of products and services to its global audience. From trading and futures to Decentralized Finance and NFTs, Binance is currently the world’s biggest exchange by daily trading volume of cryptoassets.
