In 2025, Binance had one of its best years. The exchange controlled nearly 50% of international Bitcoin and Ethereum trading on most days of the year. Let’s break it down.
With its unique features, Binance continues to shape the way millions of users interact with digital assets.
More than 300 million users
User growth was one of the biggest highlights of 2025. Binance surpassed 300 million users worldwide, making it one of the largest financial systems. Increased global adoption, effective user tools and broader access have driven this growth.
Binance said its global user base will surpass 300 million in 2025, with a total trading volume of around $34 trillion. Retail trading grew 125% year-over-year and institutional trading grew 21%, with almost half of the world’s BTC and ETH volume occurring on Binance most of the time. In Web3, more than…

$34 trillion in trading volume
In 2025 alone, Binance processed approximately $34 trillion in total transaction volume on its platform.
Even more striking:
- Retail trading volume jumped 125% year-over-year.
- Institutional trading volume increased by 12%.
On most trading days, Binance accounted for nearly 50% of all Bitcoin and Ethereum trading worldwide.

Strong growth on Web3
Binance’s influence has gone far beyond centralized trading in 2025.
- Over 60% of top on-chain transactions flowed through Binance Wallet.
- Alpha 2.0, Binance’s Web3 trading and discovery platform, has processed over $1 trillion in volume.
- Alpha 2.0 attracted approximately 17 million users.
This shows how Binance is becoming a bridge between centralized exchanges and decentralized Web3 activity.
Proof of Reserves and User Security
Trust and transparency were also major themes in 2025. Binance confirmed that it holds approximately $162.8 billion in user assets. This helped reassure users that the funds were fully supported and viewable on-chain. Security is another important area that Binance cited as being improved. With improved fraud detection, the success rate of phishing has decreased.
