Main TakeawaysAs automated abuse and bots became faster and more complex, Binance’s existing real-time protection systems started to strain under the weight of thousands of separate checks (individual automated rules or analyses that look for suspicious behavior) running in parallel.To fix this, Binance built a smart Job Merging system that finds overlapping checks and combines them into fewer, more powerful workflows without changing what the checks actually do.This upgrade cut computing resources by about 78% while keeping protection just as accurate and fast, saving significant costs and making the platform more efficient and scalable.The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and Web3 ecosystems have resulted in a new class of automated, abnormal high-frequency behaviours across trading and financial platforms. Some manipulative users have been trying to exploit the system by using AI-generated automation scripts to perform mass account registrations, farm rewards, and move funds – often within seconds.Such fast and complex activities make it harder for platforms to manage risk in real time. Systems need to detect, decide, and act almost instantly, which can be a major challenge. This is where Binance’s in-house solution, Job Merging framework for optimizing real-time feature pipelines, comes in, helping us handle these high-speed operations more efficiently and reliably.The Standard Abnormal Behaviour Detection PipelineThe diagram below illustrates a typical pipeline used by many platforms to detect abnormal behaviour in real time. The system transforms operational events into low-latency features through four sequential stages: Change Data Capture (CDC), Data Cleaning, Feature Calculation, and Feature Serving. Each stage is responsible for capturing, transforming, computing, and delivering feature values that are used for real-time risk detection.Figure 1: Abnormal behavior detection real-time pipelineIn our production environment, we leverage Apache Flink for both data cleaning and feature computation that can ensure millisecond-level freshness and consistency across distributed pipelines.The ProblemAs our platform rapidly grows, it generates thousands of independent feature calculation jobs, each catering to different feature requirements. This fragmentation can cause redundant data access and high resource consumption. To tackle this scalability challenge, we developed a job-merging framework that automatically consolidates compatible feature calculation jobs, reducing computational costs while maintaining low latency and accurate results.The New System Architecture of Job MergingThe new workflow introduces a scalable, automated approach to consolidating feature-calculation jobs without compromising data accuracy or system stability. It begins by identifying compatible jobs through metadata-driven analysis, then applies rule-based filtering to select suitable merge candidates. Finally, a stability-aware deployment process ensures that any changes are rolled out safely and can be rolled back if needed.With this architecture, large-scale job merging becomes more systematic and reliable, significantly reducing redundant computations and improving efficiency across real-time feature pipelines. In this section, we’ll deep dive into the specifics of this new workflow.Figure 2: The new system architecture of Job Merging1. Candidate SelectionThe process is initiated by a job-merge trigger, which can be invoked through an API or a scheduled process. The system first selects a seed feature job and retrieves a pool of candidate jobs from the metadata repository using a coarse recall strategy.The selection is guided by the following metadata attributes:Feature data source identifyFeature status (active/inactive)Feature type (batch or streaming)Feature storage format (e.g., single value, ring buffer, bitmap).2. Candidate Filtering and ScoringIn the second stage, detailed candidate evaluation is performed to identify compatible feature jobs for merging. The filtering process considers both static metadata and runtime metrics to compute a compatibility score, based on:The operator type used for computation (e.g., sum, count, last, first, min, count distinct)The feature time window and refresh frequencyThe actual runtime traffic volume of the feature job.Only the top-ranked candidates are retained for merging, subject to a configurable threshold (typically ≤ 5 features per merge batch).3. Merge Job GenerationOnce the candidate set is finalized, the system generates a single optimized Flink job that consolidates the processing logic of all selected features. This step automatically:Detects the required source columns from the metadataGenerates reusable processing logic and shared Flink operatorsProduces a unified execution plan for writing merged feature outputs to the designated storage.4. Merge Job Online DeploymentThe merged job is then submitted to the Flink cluster for dual-running – where the new merged job runs concurrently with the original jobs to avoid any disruption of online feature serving. During this phase, the framework automatically performs cross-validation between old and new pipelines by routing a fraction of real-time requests to the new merged feature path. A monitoring dashboard continuously reports feature-value differences and validation metrics to ensure correctness before full activation. 5. Validation and Rollback MechanismTo ensure correctness and robustness, the framework includes a data-validation module built on Hive SQL. This module retrieves validation keys from the data warehouse and checks that feature values generated by the merged job remain consistent with historical outputs.To maintain zero-tolerance accuracy during deployment, we also introduced a grayscale release mechanism that routes only a controlled portion of traffic to the newly merged job. If discrepancies are detected, the system can immediately roll back to the original jobs, ensuring stability and reliability throughout deployment. OutcomeAll experiments were conducted using an Apache Flink cluster deployed on the production platform, with monitoring and validation tools integrated into our internal observability dashboard. The results are summarized below.Resource Reduction and EfficiencyThe table below shows a significant improvement with the number of active Flink jobs falling from 764 to 168, representing a 78% reduction in total operational workload. Similarly, resource usage fell by 78%.Figure 3: Comparison of efficiency before and after Job MergeFigure 4 shows substantial infrastructure savings, with CPU usage reduced from 1,528 to 336 cores and memory consumption dropping from 4,584 GB to 1,344 GB – an average reduction of 78%. This amounts to approximately 1,192 fewer CPU cores and 3,240 GB of memory being consumed across the cluster, translating to an estimated AWS cost saving of more than $20,000 per month.Figure 4: Comparison of infrastructure efficiency before and after Job Merge Feature accuracy and stabilityTo ensure correctness, each merged job undergoes dual-run validation against its original source jobs before being fully activated. The validation framework compares feature outputs across both live traffic and offline datasets, confirming that values remain consistent in every environment. We only move to the next stage once the merged job achieves 100% feature equivalence with the original pipelines across all test samples. Figure 5 shows a selection of validation results generated using offline datasets.Figure 5: Validation results generated using offline datasetsOverall, the evaluation demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves substantial resource savings (78%), guaranteed feature-value consistency (100%), and stable latency performance (<15 ms P99) in real-world production scenarios.Final ThoughtsAt Binance, we continually strive for operational innovation at scale. The Job Merge project addresses the inefficiencies caused by thousands of redundant feature-calculation jobs in large production environments. By introducing automated candidate selection, rule-based similarity scoring, dual-run deployment, and comprehensive online-offline validation, the framework consolidates feature jobs while preserving correctness and latency stability. Production evaluation showed substantial gains, including up to 78% reductions in CPU and memory usage, 100% feature-value consistency, and no measurable degradation of latency or throughput.In a broader sense, this optimization project is an example of how we future-proof Binance’s infrastructure: by continuously rethinking how we use computing power, we can keep pace with rapidly evolving AI-driven abuse, strengthen real-time protection for users, and run a more sustainable, cost-efficient platform that’s ready for the next wave of growth.Further ReadingStrategy Factory: Binance’s AI-Powered Rule Engine for Risk and Fraud DetectionBinance Leverages AWS Cloud to Enhance User Experience With Generative AIBinance’s SAFUGPT – Unlocking AI Innovation with SAFU-Level Security

Main TakeawaysBinance has received full authorization from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM to operate its global platform, Binance.com, under a world-class supervisory framework.Three licensed entities – an exchange, a clearing house, and a broker-dealer – will separately perform trading, custody, settlement, and off-exchange activities, mirroring traditional financial-market infrastructure.This milestone marks a new era in responsible digital-asset innovation, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s role as a leading international hub for financial regulation and future-ready digital finance.For years, we’ve worked toward a single global objective: to build the most trusted, transparent, and secure digital-asset ecosystem in the world. Today, we are taking a major step toward that vision.Binance has secured full regulatory authorization from the FSRA of ADGM to operate Binance.com under a mature, globally respected regulatory framework. ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, is recognized worldwide for its rigorous supervisory standards, forward-thinking approach to digital-asset regulation, and the clarity it brings to emerging financial technologies. A license from FSRA of ADGM grants Binance a new level of credibility and seamless access across multiple markets, extending well beyond the UAE, thus cementing our position at the forefront of regulatory progress in digital finance.Operating under ADGM’s gold-standard framework allows us to raise the bar even higher for user protection, governance, market integrity, and operational resilience. Our users will benefit from one of the strongest consumer-protection regimes in the world. This global-first regulatory milestone is also a statement about where the crypto industry is going and the standards it must meet as it continues to mature. A Comprehensive Framework Designed for Safety and Market-Wide ResilienceTo meet ADGM’s regulatory requirements, Binance will operate through three distinct licensed entities, each aligned with globally recognized financial-market architecture:Nest Services Limited (soon to be renamed “Nest Exchange Limited”) has been approved as a Recognised Investment Exchange (RIE) with permission to operate a Multilateral Trading Facility. It will operate the platform’s on-exchange activities, including spot and derivatives trading. This regulatory category ensures transparent, orderly markets under rules equivalent to major global exchanges.Nest Clearing and Custody Limited has been approved as a Recognized Clearing House (RCH), with additional permissions to provide custody and CSD services. This entity will oversee clearing, settlement, and the secure custody of digital assets, ensuring the highest standards of operational resilience, segregation of responsibilities, and asset protectionBCI Limited (soon to be renamed “Nest Trading Limited”) has been approved as a Broker-Dealer, with permissions to deal in investments, arrange deals in investments, manage assets, arrange custody and provide money services. This entity will deliver Binance’s off-exchange offerings, including OTC services, conversion, and principal-based activities. This separates market-making and brokerage functions from exchange operations, strengthening risk controls and transparency.This structure mirrors the regulatory architectures used in traditional finance, separating responsibilities, strengthening risk controls, and creating clear safeguards for users. In practical terms, it means every part of our operations, from matching trades to storing assets, runs under precise, purpose-built regulatory permissions.It is one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks under which any global crypto platform has ever operated.Regulatory Clarity That Supports Our Global MissionCommenting on the approval, Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng said, “Achieving regulatory status through ADGM’s respected framework reflects our deep commitment to compliance, transparency, and user protection. ADGM is one of the most respected financial regulators globally, and holding an FSRA license under their gold standard framework shows that Binance meets the highest international standards for compliance, governance, risk management, and consumer protection.”Teng added that the license “provides the regulatory clarity and legitimacy needed to support our global operations from ADGM,” stressing that while Binance remains a distributed organization that leverages talent and innovation worldwide, this regulatory foundation offers our users peace of mind knowing that Binance operates under a globally recognized, gold-standard framework.ADGM’s Leadership and Abu Dhabi’s Global PositionHis Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADGM, shared, “We are pleased to welcome Binance, a key global player in digital assets and financial innovation, to ADGM. Their presence underscores Abu Dhabi’s standing as a leading international hub for innovation, sustainable growth, and the future of finance. We look forward to seeing them harness the strength of ADGM’s progressive regulatory framework and dynamic ecosystem, contributing to the evolution of a more innovative, inclusive, and future-ready global financial sector.”This milestone reflects the UAE’s accelerating leadership in digital-finance transformation. With a clear regulatory pathway and a long-term vision for innovation, Abu Dhabi is rapidly becoming a global center for responsible crypto development.What Comes NextFor our users, regulators, and partners, this means a clearer, more transparent operational model; stronger oversight of custody and clearing; enhanced resilience under one of the world’s most rigorous digital-asset regimes; and an even greater assurance that Binance operates at the highest global standards.It also underscores the UAE’s emergence as a global hub for digital-finance innovation, supported by world-class regulation and a deep, diverse talent base.Subject to final operational preparations, Binance.com will begin regulated activities under the ADGM framework on January 5, 2026.

Main TakeawaysThe second day of Binance Blockchain Week 2025 is done, marking the festive conclusion of the year’s biggest crypto event! Day 2 of BBW featured enthralling discussions on the future of the industry and the much-awaited debate between Binance’s co-founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), and famous investor Peter Schiff on Bitcoin vs. tokenized gold. If you missed this year’s conference, make sure to catch all the replays on Binance Square, and see you next year! Binance Blockchain Week 2025 has officially wrapped.Thousands of builders, thinkers, policymakers, and creators filled Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena for two days of high-impact conversations, market insights, and breakthrough ideas shaping the future of digital assets, payments, and Web3 infrastructure. From headline keynotes to deep technical sessions, this year’s program highlighted the industry’s accelerating maturation and the innovations that will drive real-world adoption in 2026 and beyond.Missed Day 2? Here are the key highlights from today’s biggest moments.Raoul Pal’s Alpha Thesis — Finding the Hidden Edges in 2026 Market”In altcoin season, don’t chase other people’s returns.” – Raoul Pal, Co-founder & CEO of Real VisionCoin Bureau’s Nic Puckrin, who served as Raoul Pal’s sparring partner for the day’s opening session, kicked things off with the question everyone’s been whispering: Are we sliding into a bear market? Raoul, one of the most widely followed macro investors in the digital-asset space, didn’t miss a beat: in his view, this is just a correction in an ongoing bull market. What followed was a macro tour that connected liquidity waves, demographic inflection points, and crypto’s accelerating adoption curve into one clear trajectory.Pal unpacked the market effects of year-end bank funding dynamics, along with liquidity, a weaker dollar, and big fiscal stimulus. If these forces play out, he expects January and February to be strong enough to mark the death of the rigid 4-year crypto cycle narrative. On positioning, Raoul likened altcoins to small-cap equities: high on the risk curve and deeply tied to the business cycle. Even with AI stocks in the spotlight, he argues alts still offer the best asymmetric upside, having historically outperformed bluechips. Within crypto, he pointed to stablecoins and high-performing L1s, calling the L1 trade the easiest one.His main warning into 2026 is behavioral: avoid FOMO, ignore short-term trading illusions, hold quality assets, and stay far from leverage, which he calls “a ticket to bankruptcy.” For those who get the structure and psychology right, he sees 2026 shaping up to be “the year of the yellow fruit.”The Future of Onchain Markets & When Markets Go On-Chain“Previously, getting quality inflation and real economic data was very labor-intensive for research firms. With the right incentives, collective intelligence now updates probabilities constantly,” – Nicki Lee, Research Lead of Opinion LabsThe panelists explore how prediction markets, media, and DeFi are fusing into a sharper, more participatory financial layer. Nicki Lee highlighted how real-world data that once took research firms weeks to compile, like inflation or macro signals, can now be surfaced instantly through on-chain prediction markets. With incentives streamlined, people are willing to surface their real opinions. Collective intelligence updates probabilities in real time, giving people a natural way to monetize their insights while continuously refining market expectations.Farokh Sarmad pointed out that while content comes from creators and journalists, the audience’s voice is missing — a gap prediction markets can close. These markets, he argues, are becoming part of the cultural cycle. On the infrastructure side, Chef Kids highlighted the need to unify fragmented DeFi liquidity, which is now a core focus for leading protocols.Alex Svanevik, Benjamin Cowen, Nicolas Vaiman: A New Way to Trade, Optimizing AI & Data “One of the best on-chain signals is seeing what smart money is doing,” – Alex Svanevik, CEO of NansenThe minds behind some of the industry’s top on-chain analytics firms came together to discuss how data and AI are changing what traders look at and how they act. Nansen’s Alex Svanevik highlighted how his outfit focuses on identifying a few thousand addresses worth following and has spent a lot of time this year analyzing perp activity on Hyperliquid. Benjamin Cowen of Into The Cryptoverse, instead of relying on any single metric, combines and normalizes multiple on-chain indicators. The finding is that the current environment sits roughly in the “middle” of the cycle, similar to 2019, with Bitcoin leading the market and not yet too much speculative excitement.On AI, moderator Nicolas Vaiman of Bubblemaps asked whether human interpretation is still as critical. Ben shared that Into The Cryptoverse is building an AI bot so users can query the data directly instead of wading through thousands of charts. Nicolas explained that Bubblemaps combines advanced clustering heuristics with AI to help users understand what each cluster represents: an exchange, an airdrop, or someone “trying to be sneaky.” Alex added that Nansen has launched a mobile app with an agentic interface that has “eyes on” all on-chain transactions across every major L1 and can also settle transactions inside the app itself, tightly integrating data, insight, and execution.Mastercard, Ripple, TON, And The Next Era of Payment Rails“Mobile payments were new 10 years ago, but now they’re the standard; digital assets are becoming relevant for the next generation. It’s world-changing, and we need to adjust.” – Christian Rau, SVP Digital Assets and Blockchain, MastercardLeaders from Mastercard, Ripple, and TON explored how blockchain and stablecoins are modernizing payments without compromising on compliance or user safety. Christian Rau explained that Mastercard has evolved from plastic cards to smartphones and now to blockchain-enabled rails, partnering with firms like Circle and Ripple because stablecoins can solve many existing frictions. He stressed that they tread carefully not to water down compliance or consumer protections even as technology and economic models evolve.From the crypto-native side, Ripple’s Reece Merrick highlighted a dramatic shift in attitude: his early conversations in Europe about crypto or stablecoins made people uncomfortable, whereas today having a digital-asset strategy is table stakes for banks and institutions. Nikola Plecas, representing TON – a blockchain serving retail and business users within the Telegram ecosystem – noted that in the blockchain payments space, market volumes and transactions are growing 20-30% per year, at rates unimaginable just a few years ago. He emphasized how users adopt these technologies for utility, and stablecoins already deliver a large part of that utility in everyday payments and transfers.Tom Lee: Ethereum, a Market Lodestar“The real story here is tokenization. The best years of growth are still ahead: there is 200x adoption to come,” – Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMineBitMine chairman Tom Lee argued that the traditional 4‑year crypto cycle is about to be shattered, with markets entering a structurally different regime. Looking across macro and commodities, he observes that copper, gold, and ISM manufacturing are no longer following their usual 4‑year cycles – and Bitcoin could well break out of its own cyclical pattern, too.Lee pushed back on the idea that tokenization is “simply digitizing assets,” calling that an oversimplification of a much bigger unlock. He noted that in crypto, despite strong fundamentals in 2025, price action has been “terrible.” It masked what he sees as the real story: tokenization and its impact on market structure. According to Lee, crypto prices, including ETH, have already bottomed, and that the best years of growth are still ahead, with as much as 200x adoption to come.He expects Bitcoin to make new highs in January, with a target of 250K “within the next few months.” For Ethereum, he frames 2025 as its “1971 moment” – a structural break akin to the end of the gold standard – arguing that tokenized products are consolidating on the network, which continues to upgrade even while its price has been rangebound for years. At roughly 3K, he calls ETH “grossly undervalued” and sees tokenization, especially fractional ownership combined with prediction markets, as the catalyst for the next major unlock in Ethereum’s role as the market’s lodestar.A Safe Haven: Crypto Security and Compliance“Education is the key to long-term trust: we want people to understand what they are buying and how to keep their assets safe,” – Major Faisal Al Yaaquobi, Head of Virtual Assets Division, UAE Ministry of InteriorThis panel, featuring Major Faisal Al Yaaquobi from the UAE Ministry of Interior and Payal Patel from Circle and moderated by Binance’s General Counsel Eleanor Hughes, focused on how to build a safe, compliant digital asset ecosystem – and how the UAE aims to help set a global standard. Major Faisal stressed that consumer protection is the top priority and that prevention is better than cure, with education as the foundation of long-term trust. People must understand what they are buying and how to keep their assets safe; once educated, they become partners in ensuring security rather than passive victims. He emphasized open communication with industry as essential to effective partnership, noting that the internet and crime have no borders and calling for similar standards across jurisdictions so criminals have nowhere to hide and regulators and industry can work as one team.From the industry side, Payal tackled misconceptions about stablecoins. The idea that “all stablecoins are the same” is, in her words, like putting baby food and rat poison on the same shelf. She argued that digital assets still have a PR problem and that the goal should be to reach a world where using crypto feels as simple and familiar as Apple Pay or tapping into the metro – while ensuring users actually understand where they are putting their money and what risks they’re taking.Inside the Stablecoin Economy “Once you use stablecoins for payments, you’ll never want to go back to traditional ways. I think, in 2 years, stablecoins will no longer be a niche product.” – Marcelo Sacomori, CEO, Braza Bank S.A.Banking Circle and Braza Bank brought a grounded, regulatory view to the panel, arguing that stablecoins are becoming essential financial infrastructure. Marcelo laid out the three pain points they solve better than FX today: every FX trade in Brazil must be registered with the central bank (and the system isn’t 24/7), spreads are wide because FX desks must meet strict standards, and speed is still stuck in the SWIFT era — where even a Friday-to-Tuesday transfer can go wrong. Daniel pushed the conversation forward, noting that once assets are tokenized, settlement will fundamentally change. On-chain, you need atomic settlement because there’s no counterparty, and the traditional idea of “singleness of money” doesn’t cleanly apply. He emphasized that the real challenge is guaranteeing mint–burn efficiency and 24/7 redemption, even if an issuer collapses.From TRON’s vantage point, Sam pointed to LATAM and Africa, where high fees and weak banking access push users toward low-cost chains. There, stablecoins aren’t speculative; they’re practical.When the moderator pressed the panel on liquidity, security, and utility, the answer was implicit in the conversation: without trust, liquidity fails; without 24/7 redemption, security fails; and without cross-border usability, utility fails. Marcelo added that Brazil’s domestic PIX system already shows what fast, feeless payments can look like — but it stops at the border. Stablecoins, he said, are the bridge.The takeaway was that stablecoins have moved from curiosity to core infrastructure, now powering remittances, payments, and treasury flows — and soon, they won’t be niche at all.Visionary Nations: The Digital Evolution“Blockchain doesn’t really fit into any existing ministry in most countries. We need someone in government to make a definitive decision to move forward.” - Xin Yan, CEO of SignCrypto policy is no longer dominated by superpowers: emerging markets are shaping the digital regulatory order. Global emerging digital nations and regulators discussed national strategies, echoing global trends toward licensing clarity and digital-asset sandboxes. Unsurprisingly, the UAE has been cited as a reference model a lot. The Big Debate: CZ VS Peter Schiff — Bitcoin VS Tokenized Gold"If hundreds of millions of people use something and build on top of it, you can't dismiss that as just a casino." – CZThe showdown pitted Peter Schiff’s high-energy gold maximalism against CZ’s measured, use‑case‑driven defense of Bitcoin. Schiff argued that tokenized gold upgrades a scarce, industrially useful metal with digital rails, preserving its role as a timeless store of value while improving its monetary properties: ownership can change hands instantly while the bullion stays in a vault. In his view, Bitcoin is ultimately just another unbacked asset whose price depends on confidence, whereas gold’s value is grounded in real-world utility and millennia of monetary history.CZ pushed back by stressing that much of today’s economy already runs on virtual records, and that Bitcoin’s value comes from its trustless design, global community, and real-world usage, from people in Africa paying bills in minutes instead of days to millions spending via crypto cards. He highlighted that tokenized gold still requires trust in issuers and vaults, while Bitcoin does not. The two never converged on what “sound money” should be – Schiff rooted his view in physical scarcity and industrial demand, CZ in networks, openness, and censorship resistance – but their clash crystallized the core fault line now running through the future of money debate.The debate underscored how far the narrative has shifted: gold maximalism now sounds defensive, while digital scarcity feels inevitable. CZ closed with a final wink at the audience: “I think gold would do well, but Bitcoin will do better.”Yi He’s Closing NoteYi He, Binance’s Co-CEO, shared that she aspired to get into modeling earlier in her life and was even willing to do it for less money just to get the opportunity. She shared that later on, she felt the same way when she had discovered Bitcoin and resolved to become a crypto startup founder. That was the same energy she brought to building Binance. Day 2 closed on a warm note: beyond all the technology and markets, crypto only matters if it helps people use it with confidence and benefit from it safely.Day 2 at the Innovation StageDay 2 at the Innovation Stage kicked off with a look into how top traders build loyal and engaged communities, followed by an insightful discussion on the meeting point between Web2 and Web3 marketing, featuring leaders from BMW, Moca Network, and Australian Crypto Convention. Binance Angels then took the spotlight, sharing grassroots stories from Lebanon, Armenia, Taiwan, and across global communities, highlighting how local advocacy continues to drive adoption on the ground.The afternoon sessions shifted into technical and real-world applications. Cloud and infrastructure leaders from Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft broke down how enterprise-grade systems are accelerating Web3 development at scale. A deep dive into next-gen blockchain architectures followed, with Plasma, Marlin, Kava, Manta, and AltLayer exploring scalability, consensus, and performance breakthroughs.The stage then turned toward real-world integration, examining how digital assets are transforming property, payments, identity, and data networks through projects like Propy, Lumia, Huma Finance, and Pyth. The day wrapped with creator insights from Coin Bureau, Into the Cryptoverse, and Bonnie Blockchain, alongside exclusive roundtables featuring Blockchain 100 awardees and a forward-looking discussion on building the Internet of Value.Final ThoughtsBinance BlockchainWeek 2025 closed on an unmistakably forward-looking note, reflecting a year defined by real-world adoption, institutional acceleration, and major advancements across payments, infrastructure, and digital-asset policy. Over two days at the Coca-Cola Arena, attendees witnessed headline moments, from Raoul Pal’s 2026 macro thesis to deep dives on stable-value assets, multi-chain liquidity, enterprise cloud infrastructure, and next-generation blockchain scalability. Panels featuring leaders from Mastercard, Ripple, TON, Celo, Solana Foundation, Polygon, Aptos, Algorand, Ethena, and Ondo showcased just how rapidly crypto is converging with global finance. And of course, the live showdown between CZ and Peter Schiff delivered one of the most anticipated debates of the year, underscoring the industry’s growing confidence and intellectual diversity.This year’s BBW highlighted a defining shift: crypto is becoming the connective tissue of global markets, culture, and technology, from AI-driven trading intelligence and tokenized assets to payments infrastructure, digital identity, and the emerging networked society. A huge thank you goes to every attendee, speaker, builder, partner, Binance Angel, and team member who powered this unforgettable event. Here are all the links to watch the replay of Binance Blockchain Week 2025:LIVE: Binance Blockchain Week 2025 Day 1 LIVE: Binance Blockchain Week 2025 Day 2LIVE: The Blockchain 100 Award CeremonyLIVE: The Big Debate: Bitcoin vs. Tokenized Gold featuring CZ and Peter Schiff.As BBW 2025 comes to an end, we carry forward the same momentum that brought the industry’s brightest minds to Dubai.

Main TakeawaysDay 1 of Binance Blockchain Week 2025 kicked off with packed sessions at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena, featuring global leaders in policy, markets, and Web3 innovation.The program delivered high-energy insights across Bitcoin, stablecoins, real-world adoption, next-gen infrastructure, and institutional growth — with standout moments from Michael Saylor, Richard Teng, Brad Garlinghouse, Lily Liu, and many more.Don’t miss Day 2 tomorrow on Binance Square — including Raoul Pal’s 2026 market outlook and the headline debate between CZ and Peter Schiff.The action-packed Day 1 of Binance Blockchain Week 2025 has concluded, and what a day it has been! Returning once again to Dubai’s iconic Coca-Cola Arena on December 3 and 4, this year’s conference brought together the biggest names in crypto, the wider technology and financial industries, as well as top policy minds from around the world. Binance’s own leadership set the tone: The day opened with the announcement of co-founder Yi He becoming co-CEO alongside Richard Teng as the company nears 300 million users. Co-CEO’s Richard Teng and Yi He outlined the next chapter of Binance’s growth and user-first strategy, while H.E. Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, shared the country’s vision for digital assets.The agenda stayed high-octane from there: Michael Saylor made his first-ever UAE conference appearance with a high-conviction Bitcoin keynote, and leaders from BlackRock, Citi, Solana Foundation, Ripple, Polygon, Aptos, and more unpacked the trends shaping real-world adoption in 2025. Signature moments onstage ranged from Humans of Binance Live with CMO Rachel Conlan to deep dives into stablecoins, tokenization, and next-gen Web3 infrastructure, closing with Balaji Srinivasan’s big-picture look at the network-driven society of tomorrow.Missed the action? No worries — here’s a quick recap of Yi He’s headline appointment and the biggest moments from Day 1.Be sure to tune in tomorrow on Binance Square for Day 2’s livestream!Framing The Discussion And Introducing Binance JuniorOur CEO Richard Teng opened Binance Blockchain Week by sharing the news of Binance’s new leadership configuration. Richard framed Yi He’s appointment as co-CEO as a natural evolution of her role, strengthening Binance’s leadership as it nears 300 million users and positioning their combined, user-first vision to drive product innovation, responsibly expand global presence, and build the Web3 infrastructure needed to reach one billion users.He proceeded to describe 2025 as a turning point for money, markets, and digital trust, and highlighting why the UAE is the ideal backdrop for this new chapter. He reflected on the country’s steady transformation into a leading financial and innovation hub, drawing parallels with crypto’s own evolution from a niche fragmented money movement to global, borderless value transfer powered by blockchain and stablecoins. Teng underscored the “undeniable momentum” behind digital assets and emphasized how regulation is now acting as a bridge to scale, pointing to real cases of how clear rules and trusted infrastructure are accelerating real-world adoption.Against this backdrop, Teng used the stage to introduce Binance Junior, positioning it as a key part of Binance’s vision for responsible, long-term industry growth. Binance Junior is a new family-centric, parent-controlled app and sub-account for users aged 6-17, designed as a crypto savings environment rather than a trading product. Kids and teens can earn through Flexible Simple Earn, while trading is disabled and strict limits and permissions keep activity safe and transparent. By combining robust safeguards, practical savings tools, and age-appropriate education, the Binance Junior initiative aims to build the next generation’s financial literacy and confidence in digital finance, starting at home.His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama: The Digital Foundation of Tomorrow’s EconomyAs a startup nation, we woke up every single day and ask what can be done, and how the future is unfolding for us.His Excellency Omar Sultan Al Olama framed the UAE’s vision for AI and blockchain through the lens of a “startup nation,” contrasting a child of the desert, who imagines what can be built from nothing, with a child of the forest, who simply admires what already exists. He explained that the UAE wakes up every day asking what can be done and how the future is unfolding, rather than relying on centuries of inherited institutions. This ethos, he said, underpins the country’s long-standing, clear, and unwavering stance since 2015 to be one of the most favorable places in the world for blockchain: they see it as a fundamental technology where the UAE can add real value to the global community. Drawing on his years as Minister of AI “when people thought it was still science fiction,” he emphasized the government’s commitment to deploying technologies in ways that are so smooth and useful, like smart gates at the airport, that once people experience them, they wouldn’t want to go back.Michael Saylor: The Undeniable Case for BitcoinBitcoin is the foundation of economic markets — its trading power exceeds Google, Microsoft, and even the [U.S] Navy’s spending power.Strategy’s Michael Saylor argued that Bitcoin has moved from the fringe to the core of global finance, becoming “digital capital” as political and institutional support flips in its favor. He highlighted how, in just 12 months, U.S. banks have gone from hostility to adoption – eight of the top ten now engage in crypto lending – while Treasury guidance and highly successful spot ETFs from Wall Street giants like BlackRock signal that Bitcoin is now an accepted asset. Against this backdrop, he described his firm’s strategy of spending tens of billions to acquire more than 3% of all Bitcoin, with a mission of increasing “Bitcoin per share” for investors.Saylor then sketched a broader vision of Bitcoin as the base layer for a new digital credit system that could disrupt traditional banking, insurance, and money markets. He contrasted low-yield, ~3% money-market returns with Bitcoin’s historically higher performance, arguing that companies leveraging digital assets will outpace those tied to depreciating fiat. By using Bitcoin as collateral to build new, AI-enabled credit products – high-yield, tax-efficient, and designed to minimize drawdowns – he believes digital credit can offer real yields where banks “give you nothing,” reset the global financial system, and reward investors who embrace the volatility or, alternatively, access Bitcoin’s upside through structured credit products with smoother risk profiles.The Future of Client Asset AllocationWho’s going to be controlling wealth for the next 10-15-20 years? It’s a demographic question that warrants building bridges and an entire foundation layer of finance, – Tony Ashraf, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Asset Transformation, BlackRockThe first star-studded institutional panel of the day featured Tony Ashraf, Managing Director and Global Head of Digital Asset Transformation at BlackRock; Ronit Ghose, Global Head of Future of Finance at Citi Institute; Catherine Chen, Head of VIP & Institutional at Binance; Mike Reed, SVP and Head of Digital Asset Partnership Development at Franklin Templeton; Michael Martin, Wealth Management & Digital Assets at Bank Julius Baer; and was moderated by Henri Arslanian, Co‑Founder and Managing Partner at Nine Blocks Capital Management.The session examined how crypto is shifting from curiosity to core allocation as traditional and digital markets increasingly interlink. BlackRock’s Tony Ashraf described “wrapping” traditional assets in crypto (and vice versa) to build bridges, enabled by regulation, maturing infrastructure, and growing demand for diversification. Ronit Ghose noted that what was commercially irrelevant in 2015 is now reshaped by tokenization and US‑backed stablecoins breaking out of the crypto silo. Catherine Chen pointed to far greater clarity and new Binance Wealth and Prestige offerings for previously hesitant clients, while Franklin Templeton’s Mike Reed argued that avoiding crypto is now an active choice given its risk‑return profile, and that products must be designed authentically on-chain. Moderator Henri Arslanian highlighted that half of global crypto users are under 34, as TradFi players race each other, not Binance, to adapt to this new investor base.The Path AheadPeople are starting to recognize that stablecoins really are stable and much easier to manage and move, especially in this region. – Brad GarlinghouseModerated by CNBC’s Dan Murphy, this session brought together Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple; Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation; and Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, to explore what’s next for crypto in a more regulated, institution-friendly landscape. Richard said he remains very bullish despite recent volatility, arguing that growing regulatory clarity and the steady arrival of institutions mean “the best is yet to come.” He stressed that big players take time to move but are clearly coming aboard, and highlighted stablecoins as a major driver of capital efficiency – cheaper, faster, and increasingly essential for institutions – while noting that Binance is now one of the most regulated entities in the space.Brad framed the current phase as just another turn in crypto’s risk‑on/risk‑off cycles, but said macro tailwinds, a “massive sea change” in the previously hostile U.S. market, and the rise of spot ETFs all underpin his optimism going into 2026. He pointed out that only 1-2% of the total ETF market is currently in crypto and said he would bet that share will rise within a year as institutions that once sat on the sidelines “crawl, then walk, then run.” Lily emphasized that volatility is simply part of being in this industry and said the market is “doing just fine” at current Bitcoin levels, joking that her guest Wi‑Fi password was “Bitcoin100K” back in 2016 when people thought she was crazy. She connected today’s themes of speed, low cost, programmability, and liquidity back to early Bitcoin forum discussions a decade ago, arguing that Solana’s vision has always been to bring all of these features together as “tech for finance.” The session came to a memorable close with Brad Garlinghouse predicting that Bitcoin would reach $180,000 by either December 23 or December 31, 2026.Rachel Conlan and Humans of Binance LiveThe Humans of Binance live segment brought the campaign’s documentary-style storytelling onto the main stage, with Binance community members from LATAM, South Asia, and MENA putting faces and specifics to the idea of financial inclusion. Drawing on the same themes as the online series — that financial inclusion starts with accessibility and education — the speakers emphasized how Binance products like Academy, Earn, P2P, and simple spot trading are empowering individuals, not just investors.Luis Jimenez from Latin America shared how discovering Binance in 2018 “felt like the beginning of the internet,” reinforcing that education must come first. “Use trusted resources like Binance Academy, educate yourself, and only then start investing.”Mohit Malhotra, representing South Asia, noted that while crypto can still feel intimidating, its evolution — from ETFs to increasing global adoption — shows that the technology is real and here to stay. “When in doubt, check the Binance homepage and see the growing number of users as proof that this is very real.”Guided by Binance Global CMO Rachel Conlan, the session brought the focus back to people — illustrating how Binance isn’t just shaping the future of finance, but transforming personal journeys today.Balaji Srinivasan: Building the Network StateBalaji Srinivasan laid out his Network State thesis – after coins come not just new companies, but entirely new countries. He argued that founding network-native countries is “possible, preferable, and profitable,” defining a network state as a physical social network that grows from a single individual to a million aligned citizens. With 38 UN member states under one million people and UN membership expanding over time, he frames sufficient traction – measured in people, capital, and coordination – as the new prerequisite for diplomatic recognition. In his view, the land is already negotiating with the cloud, as states contend with increasingly powerful digital platforms and corporations.He positions the network state as an exit option for those in failing systems — a digitally coordinated community that can migrate, invest, and build new institutions together using SaaS – society as a service. In his view, the next decade won’t just be about new products, but new opt-in network societies.Innovation Stage Day 1The Innovation Stage at Binance Blockchain Week 2025 delivered a dynamic lineup of forward-leaning panels and hands-on sessions, spotlighting the builders, applications, and technologies shaping the next era of Web3.While the Main Stage explored major market, regulatory, and infrastructure themes, the Innovation Stage offered a more interactive, application-driven program — bringing attendees closer to real-world use cases, practical tools, and emerging products across the ecosystem.The day opened with a welcome from the Stage emcee, followed by a deep dive into blockchain education and ecosystem growth across MENA, featuring leaders from King Saud University, the UAE Blockchain & AI Association, and Binance Academy.Attendees then heard insights from top infrastructure teams including WalletConnect, Ledger, Heima Network, and others, who explored how wallets, security, and user-centric design are evolving to support the next billion users.Other highlights included discussions on super-app architecture, the future of gaming and AI-driven economies, and practical sessions on payments, treasury innovation, and digital asset implementation, featuring speakers from Mastercard, First Digital, Better Payment Network, and Binance Fiat.The afternoon delivered panels on AI x Web3, decentralized cloud infrastructure from Alibaba Cloud and AWS, next-generation digital stadiums and fan engagement, and a showcase of wallet and security innovations across the ecosystem.Founders then took center stage during the Builders’ Showcase, giving rapid-fire pitches on new protocols, products, and market opportunities.

Main TakeawaysBinance Wallet is a one-stop hub to connect seamlessly to the decentralized world. Its browser extension enables all that the platform has to offer directly from users’ web browsers for a keyless, fully-synced experience across mobile and desktop. The results of a recent audit of the Binance Wallet browser extension, conducted by leading blockchain threat intelligence firm SlowMist, highlight its strong security design, effective implementation and responsible approach.Set up the browser extension for seamless access to your Binance Wallet from the comfort of your personal computer, made effortless via keyless (MPC) technology without jeopardizing robust security.This is a general announcement. Products and services referred to here may not be available in your region.Wallet and asset management enters a new era with Binance Wallet’s keyless technology, eliminating the need for traditional seed-phrase or private-key storage. This approach makes onboarding to Web3 far more user-friendly: users no longer face steep learning curves around key management or the complexities of securely accessing or storing sensitive information. Keyless wallets help alleviate the worry of losing access, with MPC-based recovery giving users a quick and seamless way to regain control of their accounts. Externally, the risk of crypto wallet hacking is significantly reduced. With enhancements to UI and improvements in technology also come potential concerns of security: are defenses up to speed with innovation? That is why regular security testing, conducted by trusted experts in the field, is ever more important with each new upgrade.What is the Binance Wallet Extension?The Binance Wallet Extension for web browsers offers clear advantages for desktop users, whether it’s managing assets across multiple tabs, interacting with complex DApps, or connecting directly to DApps via web. Binance Wallet Extension fully supports standard seed phrase and private key wallets just like other wallet extensions, enabling smooth asset management and seamless DApp interaction on desktop.Beyond these core capabilities, Binance Wallet Extension introduces several exclusive features that further enhance security, usability, and multi-scenario flexibility.Why Use the Binance Wallet Extension?Instant Keyless Login With QR ScanInstantly log in using the Binance App and unlock Binance Keyless Wallet with a simple QR scan – no complex setup required. The wallet and extension employ Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to create three key-shares, which are then stored in different locations for added security. This eliminates any hassle to do with seed phrases or private-key risks and introduces a more secure and user-friendly way to manage digital assets and sync across devices.Manage Multiple Keyless Wallets With EaseUsers can create and manage multiple MPC wallets under a single account – for example, a designated keyless wallet for Binance Alpha-related activities, and another for Earn – to keep accounts separate for different purposes.Easy Sync With Binance Wallet WebThe browser extension connects seamlessly with Binance Wallet Web, allowing users to enjoy the web version’s trading features such as sub-second data latency and instant AI narratives and more, directly within the extension interface upon log-in. Currently, Binance Wallet Extension is the only browser extension to connect to and trade on Binance Wallet Web.Reduced Hassle of Sign-ins With SASBinance Wallet Extension will soon be powered with Secure Auto Sign (SAS), a service for keyless wallets that automatically signs transactions quickly for you while keeping your private keys completely secure and self-custodied. With the SAS feature, users can expect more advanced order types and tools (limit order, TP/SL, etc.) and a smoother trading experience. Security Backed by SlowMist’s Audit ReportTo independently validate the robustness of the wallet extension’s security features, Binance invited leading blockchain threat intelligence firm SlowMist to conduct a thorough audit of the tool, relying on a comprehensive manual analysis and software-assisted testing. The review focused on testing the product’s design pertaining to asset protection and overall user security experience via three methods:Security tests from an attacker's perspective externallyTesting on code modules through the scripting tool, observing the internal running status, mining potential weaknessesAnalyzing both the open-source and proprietary code to detect whether there are vulnerabilities in programs, nodes, SDK, etc.“The SlowMist security team acknowledges and commends the Binance browser wallet extension team for their rigorous and responsible approach.” – SlowMist 2025 Binance Browser wallet extension Security Audit ReportWhat Do the Audit Results Say?Audit results confirmed that the following features adhere to best security practices, performing reliably under tested scenarios.Robust Asset Protection Through Keyless TechnologyBy eliminating the need for seed phrases or private-key storage, the Binance Wallet Extension greatly reduces potential security issues related to key management. It uses MPC behind the scenes, so hacking risks are minimized, and recovering your account is easier. Overall, it’s a simpler, safer setup for keeping your assets protected.Transparent Transactions With Real-Time Risk AlertsThe Binance Wallet Extension intelligently analyzes most transactions and gives you a heads up if something looks off via a security alert. Compared to generic contract calls, you actually get a clearer idea of what’s going on, which makes it way easier to avoid bad moves.Safer Logins and Double Confirmation for Large TransactionsLog-in requires scanning a unique QR code via the Binance app, then verifying a pairing code – basically an extra step that helps block common browser-based attacks. When making a large transfer, the wallet makes you confirm it again in the Binance app, just to be extra sure it’s really you.Any issues identified during both automated and manual reviews were carefully analyzed and addressed, and all findings are comprehensively documented in the audit report to ensure full transparency. How to Use the Binance Wallet ExtensionInstalling the Binance Wallet ExtensionTo download and install:1.

Main TakeawaysBinance Blockchain Week 2025 marks a pivotal moment for crypto, arriving as global adoption accelerates, institutions integrate digital assets, and Dubai emerges as a leading hub for Web3 innovation.With Binance almost surpassing 300 million users and BBW’s growing cultural influence, this year’s edition brings together visionaries, regulators, builders, investors, and community leaders to shape crypto’s next chapter.From stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization to AI-driven markets and new regulatory clarity, BBW 2025 sets the stage for how digital finance will evolve into 2026.Setting the StageWe are living through a pivot point in crypto’s story — and this December, the world’s eyes are turning to Dubai for a week that promises to be both a milestone and a manifesto. At the epicenter is Binance Blockchain Week 2025, the marquee gathering where community, innovation and industry collide. Think of it as the beating pulse of what crypto has become and where it’s going.From the earliest days of crypto’s fringe beginnings, to the roar of major global adoption, the narrative arc has always included one gathering that signals something bigger. That gathering is Binance Blockchain Week. Founded by Binance, this annual festival has evolved from a connective-community conference into a global stage for the culture, the ideology, and the infrastructure of digital assets.Binance’s Global Rise and Why the Moment MattersIt would be impossible to understand BBW’s significance without understanding the role of Binance in the broader ecosystem. In 2025, the platform has become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world across metrics such as funds inflow and trading volume, and is on the brink of reaching  almost 300 million registered users.That puts Binance on par with the world’s largest digital platforms, rivaling the scale of global entertainment and social media giants. The path there wasn’t linear: it took nearly five years to reach the first 100 million users, just over two years to reach the next 100 million, and only about 18 months to reach the most recent 100 million. Adoption is accelerating, and Binance stands as a reliable barometer of its pace.This growth mirrors crypto’s transition from a niche subculture to a mainstream financial force. And BBW, the flagship showcase of Binance’s global community, reflects that cultural shift. You feel it in the crowd, hear it in the conversations, and see it in the diversity of people who attend. Bankers, coders, creators, regulators, artists, VCs, academics, students, retail traders, skeptics, and evangelists all find themselves in the same space, collaborating on the narrative of what comes next.From a Bold Experiment to a Cultural TraditionBinance Blockchain Week began as a community-oriented gathering – part festival, part workshop, part summit – designed to bring crypto users together across borders and cultures. Over the years, it has transformed in scale and significance, evolving alongside the industry it serves. Its tone matured as the audience expanded and its influence widened.Today, BBW has become a cultural anchor within crypto, a place where they come to belong. Thousands of Binance events happen worldwide every year, but this is the gathering, the one where founders, policymakers, builders, KOLs, creators, institutions, and the global community meet under one roof.And this year, that roof is the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, a city that has rapidly branded itself as one of the world’s most dynamic hubs for Web3 innovation.The 2024 edition of BBW in Dubai drew over 4,600 in-person attendees representing 126 countries, with more than one million live-stream viewers joining globally. The event featured 204 speakers, 307 industry influencers, and was the largest gathering of Binance Angels to date, with 86 volunteers contributing from around the world. International attendees comprised 60% of the total, underscoring BBW’s global reach. Why BBW 2025 Arrives at a Turning PointThis brings us to 2025: a year defined by rapid expansion of institutional interest, regulatory clarity advancement in major markets, accelerated infrastructure development, and the mainstreaming of crypto payments and tokenized finance.BBW 2025 arrives in the middle of all this movement. The stakes are higher, the questions are more urgent, and the opportunities are bigger. The tone of BBW 2025 is already clear: a forward-facing, globally connected, innovation-driven summit focused on real-world transformation.Dubai’s role as a regulatory trailblazer and global meeting point only elevates the importance of this edition. In many ways, 2025 feels like a reset: a fresh chapter for an industry that has outgrown its adolescent chaos.Who’s Coming — and What That Reveals About the MomentRather than list every speaker (we’ve done it elsewhere), it’s more telling to look at the types of people and institutions that anchor this year’s conversations. Several names on the agenda carry clues on where we are at this point in the decentralized movement. You’ll see visionaries like Michael Saylor, whose conviction around Bitcoin has shaped mainstream narratives for years; top political and regulatory voices such as H.E. Omar Sultan Al Olama, the UAE's Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications, representing a government shaping itself as a global leader in digital-asset policy and innovation; infrastructure and market leaders like Brad Garlinghouse from Ripple and Lily Liu from Solana, projects that shape liquidity, development, and market structure worldwide.And then there’s CZ, stepping back into the global spotlight. CZ’s vision remains oriented toward long-term global adoption and education, and his on-stage debate with longtime crypto critic Peter Schiff promises to be one of the most discussed cultural moments of the entire week.Their ideological clash, Bitcoin maximalism versus gold maximalism, decentralization versus tradition, captures something bigger than two individuals. It represents the tension between the old world and the new one, a tension that defines much of crypto’s evolution.Key Storylines Shaping BBW 2025A glance at the BBW 2025 agenda reveals several themes that will likely dominate the narrative this year. They represent the pulse of where crypto is heading.One major theme is crypto as global infrastructure, a look at crypto beyond just an investment class. Another is responsible innovation, reflecting the maturation of the industry, especially amid increasing regulatory clarity in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. There’s also a strong emphasis on community inclusion, ensuring BBW remains accessible to both new entrants and seasoned participants.Dubai’s position as a global crypto hub ties all this together. The city’s forward-thinking frameworks and appetite for innovation make it one of the few places where government, industry, and community can collaborate openly and constructively.Macro Trends Paving the Path to 2026This year’s conversations will be layered against some of the most pivotal macro developments since the birth of crypto. A few deserve special attention:Stablecoins: These assets have become a global settlement layer, underpinning cross-border commerce, remittances, treasury solutions, and institutional flows.Tokenized real-world assets: 2025 marked a tipping point, with major financial institutions, asset managers, and sovereign entities exploring tokenization of money-market funds, real estate, and other traditionally illiquid assets.On-chain liquidity and institutional integration: Trading desks, custodians, banks, and exchanges are now building infrastructure for 24/7 on-chain settlement, bringing unprecedented transparency and efficiency to markets.AI x crypto convergence: Automation, intelligence, and decentralized compute are shaping the next iteration of on-chain markets and digital-asset analysis.Global regulatory frameworks: Many countries, especially in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, are shifting from exploratory policy to defined regulation, legitimizing crypto’s place within global finance.Why You Should Pay AttentionIf you care about the future of money, identity, culture, or digital ownership, BBW 2025 offers an opportunity to plug directly into the global conversation. Even for people who aren’t deep in crypto, this year offers a rare insight into how digital finance is evolving and how quickly it’s becoming part of everyday life.For builders and founders, it’s a chance to showcase work and find partners. For creators and KOLs, it’s where narratives form. For institutions, it’s where the next phase of blockchain infrastructure becomes real. For the public, it’s an invitation to witness a new chapter unfold in real time.And for anyone who believes in the long arc of this industry, BBW remains one of the few places where its culture, technology, and global community truly come together.See It Live or Join the Global LivestreamBinance Blockchain Week 2025 runs on December 3-4 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.

Main TakeawaysArgentinians traveling to Brazil can now use Binance Pay to make instant Pix payments in Brazilian reais directly from their crypto balances.The feature converts crypto to BRL in seconds, enabling transfers to any individual or merchant that accepts Pix—Brazil’s most widely used payment system.The integration extends the recent Binance Pay rollout with Pix and brings crypto into everyday life for millions of cross-border travellers.Millions of Argentinians visit Brazil every year for work, tourism, and family travel. Now, paying in Brazil just became much easier and more seamless, thanks to a new Binance Pay integration that enables Argentinians to use Pix with crypto.Pix is Brazil’s national instant-payment network and one of the most widely adopted digital payment systems in the world. Starting today, any Argentinian traveling in Brazil can use Binance Pay to send funds or complete merchant payments instantly in Brazilian reais, with no friction and no complications.This update further advances our mission to expand real-world crypto adoption and make digital assets as easy to use as cash or cards – especially across borders, where traditional financial systems often fall short.Crypto to Pix in Seconds: A Simpler Way to Pay in BrazilWith this integration, Argentinian users can make real-time payments directly from their Binance exchange accounts. Choose Binance Pay, select Pix, pick the crypto you want to spend, and the amount is instantly converted into Brazilian reais (BRL). The payment settles in seconds.Whether you’re paying a restaurant, a hotel, a ride-share driver, or sending funds to a friend in Brazil, Binance Pay now connects you seamlessly to any Pix-enabled merchant and any bank account in Brazil – millions of individuals and businesses using Pix every day.Users can choose from over 100 supported cryptocurrencies, and the conversion to BRL is handled automatically via a regulated local partner at the market exchange rate. This eliminates pre-conversion, manual swaps, and the need for cash.Binance Pay and Brazil’s Leading Payment System: A Natural FitExplaining the importance of this milestone, Guilherme Nazar, Binance’s Regional Vice President for Latin America, noted: “Expanding the reach of the Pix integration with Binance Pay represents a new step in innovation, combining the speed and accessibility of Brazil’s instant payment system with Binance’s global reach and innovation. This synergy continues to extend crypto’s reach beyond borders, reducing complications and further enhancing the crypto experience.”Pix has become an integral part of daily life in Brazil. Since its launch by the Central Bank in 2020, it has grown at a pace few payment systems in the world can match. More than 162 million Brazilians and over 16 million merchants use Pix, with about 6 billion transactions processed every month.Pix has now surpassed the use of debit cards (69.1%) and even cash (68.9%). According to the Central Bank’s “Brazilians and Their Relationship with Money” survey, 76.4% of Brazil’s population already relies on Pix for daily payments.By connecting crypto directly to these powerful rails for Brazilians and now for Argentinians traveling to Brazil too, we’re making digital assets more useful and more accessible than ever.Designed for the Millions of Argentinians Who Travel to BrazilThis update addresses a real need in the region. According to Embratur, 2.65 million Argentinians traveled to Brazil between January and August of this year, a remarkable 94% increase compared to the same period last year.Now, instead of relying on cash exchanges, foreign-issued cards, or expensive transfers, these travelers can use crypto for all their local expenses.Andrés Ondarra, General Manager of Binance for Argentina and the Southern Cone, emphasized: “Paying with cryptocurrencies beyond borders and local currencies represents a leap toward true financial freedom: it offers speed, security, and flexibility to use your digital assets without fees or complications. At Binance, we continue working hard to develop products that meet the diverse needs of businesses and individuals, offering more efficient solutions for all types of users, such as the recent QR payment feature announced just weeks ago in Argentina.”This Pix integration is part of a broader trend we are driving across Latin America: helping people use digital assets in simple, intuitive, and practical ways as they travel, shop, or manage daily finances.Final ThoughtsAs digital payments evolve across Latin America, we continue to work hard building bridges between crypto and the real world. Brazil’s Pix system has set a global standard for fast, secure digital payments. By integrating Binance Pay with Pix for travelers from Argentina, we’re connecting two dynamic ecosystems to.Payment operations are managed by a regulated local partner, ensuring both compliance and a smooth user experience.Whether you’re exploring Rio, relaxing in Bahia, traveling for work in São Paulo, or visiting family anywhere in Brazil, you can now pay instantly with crypto – simply, securely, and without friction.Further ReadingBinance Pay Brings Instant Crypto-Powered Payments to Brazil via PixBinance Pay Brings Everyday Crypto Payments to Argentina with New QR FeatureBinance Partners with the City of Buenos Aires to Promote Responsible Crypto Adoption

Homes have been submerged, critical infrastructure damaged, and access to essential services cut off across multiple districts. According to the Disaster Management Centre, nearly 200,000 individuals have been displaced and are currently seeking refuge in over 1,000 temporary shelters. Authorities are working to gradually restore power, water, and communications over the coming days after the cyclone and subsequent floods swept away transmission lines and transformers.In response to this disaster, Binance Charity, has pledged LKR approximately 61.6 million (USD 200,000) to support urgent humanitarian relief and early-recovery efforts. The donation will be channeled through the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS) to deliver immediate assistance to communities affected by Cyclone Ditwah.Red Cross and Binance Charity Mobilize Cyclone Ditwah ReliefBinance Charity’s contribution will be allocated toward life-saving relief essentials, such as food supplies, clean drinking water, hygiene and dignity kits, medical supplies, emergency medical assistance, and temporary shelter materials as well as providing cash grants for the most vulnerable communities. This support aims to ease the immediate burden on displaced families and help accelerate recovery efforts in the hardest-hit districts.SB Seker, Head of APAC, Binance, shared, “We are deeply saddened by the scale of devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah. Binance is committed to mobilizing timely and effective support for communities impacted by natural disasters. Through our collaboration with the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society, we aim to ensure that essential relief reaches families who are facing unimaginable loss. Our thoughts are with the people of Sri Lanka, and we remain dedicated to supporting their path to recovery.”Dr. Mahesh Gunasekara, Secretary General, Sri Lanka Red Cross Society added, “Cyclone Ditwah has created an unprecedented humanitarian challenge, leaving thousands in urgent need of assistance. The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society is fully mobilized on the ground, providing life-saving support and helping affected communities regain stability. We sincerely appreciate the generous contribution from Binance Charity, which strengthens our capacity to respond swiftly and effectively. Strategic partnerships of this nature are critical to delivering timely relief and supporting the recovery of the most vulnerable to build back better.”Final ThoughtsCyclone Ditwah has brought severe hardship to communities across Sri Lanka, leading to extensive flooding, infrastructure damage, and widespread displacement.
