Binance users exceed 300 million, awarded Abu Dhabi super license. Breakthrough in compliance and ecology in 2025.
By the end of 2025, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange Binance will achieve multiple milestone advancements: the number of registered users officially surpasses the 300 million mark, while also obtaining the “Exchange + Clearing + Brokerage” integrated global license issued by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), becoming the first platform in the industry to receive this top regulatory qualification.
In terms of management, co-founder He Yi has taken the position of co-CEO, forming a dual CEO structure with Richard Teng, focusing respectively on user ecology and global compliance, pushing the company towards institutional governance transformation. In terms of business layout, Binance has been very active: reaching a strategic cooperation with PayPay, a subsidiary of SoftBank, to open up the investment-consumption closed loop for cryptocurrency assets in the Japanese market; launching direct trading functionality from CEX to DEX to simplify the cross-platform flow of assets; incorporating the stablecoin USDe into the futures collateral and wealth management system to enrich the product matrix.
Compliance construction continues to deepen. In addition to the ADGM super license, Binance regularly discloses asset proofs and compliance reports, improving its license layout across multiple jurisdictions. In terms of ecology, the Alpha project pool has already facilitated 23 tokens landing on the main board, and the “vote for listing” mechanism achieves a balance between community governance and professional due diligence, with merchant payment cooperation covering 20 million businesses.
This series of advancements not only consolidates Binance's industry position but also builds a bridge connecting traditional finance and the cryptocurrency ecosystem through technological innovation and compliance practices, injecting momentum for the standardized development of the industry.
