For Binance, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world based on trade volume, it’s been an incredible journey. The platform has faced numerous regulatory storms over the last seven years, but it has persevered and come out stronger than before.
Binance’s 7th Anniversary Milestone
Despite the severe criticism and fines the exchange has suffered from many legal bodies, this week marks Binance’s 7th anniversary, an amazing feat. From license suspensions to the resignation of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has handled a challenging environment; yet, its new CEO, Richard Teng, sees the best still to come.
Teng highlighted the exchange’s heightened emphasis on regulatory compliance in his views on Binance’s path. “We’ve placed an even greater emphasis on working hand-in-hand with global authorities to combat illicit activity and uphold the integrity of the crypto industry,” he said.
In the spirit of #BinanceTurns7, I took some time to reflect on our incredible journey.
While we’ve excelled in many areas, #Binance has also learned & grown in others. The result? A maturing organization that always put users first. 🙏

Binance says that institutional registrations rose by 35% this year, implying that this change in approach is working well. As the market grows and more major companies enter it, Teng believes Binance is in a solid position to profit from the growing institutionalization of digital assets.
Focus On Education And Compliance
Apart from its regulatory activities, Binance has sharpened its educational initiatives. Teng said that the launch of Binance Academy, the exchange’s exclusive learning tool, has gone really well. “We are dedicated to equipping users with accessible crypto knowledge so they can confidently maneuver through this fast-changing environment.”
This focus on education fits Binance’s main goal of promoting monetary inclusion and raising access to digital money. As the industry develops, Teng believes that providing comprehensive teaching tools will be crucial in attracting the next generation of crypto enthusiasts.
Still, Binance is not without difficulties even with its incredible expansion and tenacity. North Dakota ranks sixth among the states stopping Binance from operating in June 2024.
Legal Challenges And Future Growth
Changpeng Zhao, the leader of Binance, is currently in jail following US Department of Justice sentence. Stressing the ongoing legal challenges Binance must deal with. One of the exchange’s leaders has also been detained in Nigeria for over a hundred days.
Teng is confident always; Binance is forward-looking. With the trust and support of their worldwide network, he said, they are sure that their first seven years of hard effort have laid a strong foundation for even more success.
The exchange plans to expand its educational initiatives, enhance user interface, and keep a laser-like focus on these three areas in the next years. Thanks to these strategic goals, Teng is sure Binance will be able to keep its position as the top cryptocurrency exchange even as the market changes.
“We have only just begun,” Teng said, expressing Binance’s commitment to overcome legal barriers and confirm its centrality as pillar of the ecosystem for digital assets.
