@CoinDesk has released its 2025 Exchange Benchmark, and Binance’s position has never looked stronger!💎

@binance ranks first in both spot and derivatives with scores of 93.4 and 93.65. It is the only exchange to cross 90 in both categories, earning an AA rating built on deep liquidity, strong compliance, and consistent security performance.

What stands out just as much is how far the industry has matured. Nearly 60 percent of exchanges now operate under recognized regulations. Almost half publish Proof of Reserves, and a third provide audited financials. The market has moved well beyond speculation and into true institutional infrastructure.

Security incidents continue to fall. Total losses this year sit around 62 million dollars, with none from top-tier venues. Trust is becoming the main driver of user activity.

Regulatory progress is accelerating across major regions. MiCA in Europe, the UAE’s VASP regime, and new US stablecoin rules are raising standards and pushing exchanges to invest in better monitoring, stronger compliance, and greater transparency.

#Binance  remains central to that transition. It handles 26 percent of global spot volume, leads derivatives by an even wider margin, and provides the liquidity that delivers tighter spreads and more efficient execution worldwide.

Competition is rising too. The number of AA-rated exchanges has doubled from four to eight this year, showing how credibility has become the defining metric.

Centralized exchanges now operate much more like financial infrastructure. They are regulated, resilient, and increasingly connected with on-chain systems. #Binance  continues to help shape that evolution through custody innovation, off-exchange settlement, and tokenized collateral that links traditional and digital markets.

Transparency remains the benchmark for leadership. #Binance ’s AA rating and top position in CoinDesk’s 2025 assessment reinforce its status as the global standard for trust and performance.

Trade with confidence on #Binance , the world’s highest-rated exchange in CoinDesk’s 2025 Benchmark.👉🏻 binance.com/en
