Binance is the largest cryptocurrency exchange globally by spot and derivatives volume. Founded in 2017, it pairs deep order-book liquidity with a tiered fee schedule that starts at 0.10% spot taker and drops further when you pay fees in BNB. The platform spans spot, margin, futures, options, staking, savings and an Launchpad for new tokens.
Who Binance is for
Active traders who care about liquidity and cost will feel at home in the Advanced界面. Beginners can use the simplified “Lite” buy/sell flow. A massive 350+ coin listing means most tokens trade here first.
Fees & pricing
Spot maker/taker is 0.10% / 0.10% before discounts; USDT-margined futures run 0.02% / 0.04%. Crypto deposits are free; withdrawals follow network fees. Regional rebates and a $100 new-user voucher may apply depending on jurisdiction.
Security & regulation
Binance operates the SAFU (Secure Asset Fund for Users) insurance pool, enforces 2FA and anti-phishing codes, and has pursued licensing across multiple regions. US residents are served by the separate Binance.US entity — Binance.com is restricted in the United States.
