Binance Celebrates 9th Anniversary With Record User Growth and Crypto Expansion

Binance has marked its ninth anniversary by highlighting strong user growth and expanding beyond digital assets into traditional financial products.

The exchange now reports 323 million registered users across more than 100 countries, reflecting its growing global presence. This represents about 43% of the estimated 741 million people worldwide who currently own cryptocurrency, according to Binance's report.

The company's user base has grown significantly since its launch in July 2017, when the global crypto user population was fewer than six million. Registered users on Binance grew by another 7% during the first half of 2026, despite mixed market conditions.

Binance also reported a 9% rise in institutional users over the same period, pointing to continued participation from larger market players. The company's cumulative trading volume reached $156 trillion after adding $11.4 trillion during the first six months of the year.
