Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and digital asset infrastructure provider, has been named in the CeFi category of the inaugural Fortune Crypto 100, recognizing its influence in shaping the global digital asset ecosystem.
Built on nearly nine years of continuous growth, Binance has evolved into a major platform serving more than 320 million users worldwide, ranging from first-time cryptocurrency users to institutional investors. The recognition highlights Binance’s role in advancing cryptocurrency adoption, driving innovation, and strengthening market integrity.
The Fortune Crypto 100 list, independently compiled by Fortune’s editorial team, recognizes leading companies and organizations contributing to the growth of the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. Binance’s inclusion reflects its position as one of the most prominent players in the digital asset market.
As the world’s largest digital asset exchange by trading volume, Binance serves users across more than 100 countries. In 2025, the platform recorded $34 trillion in trading volume, bringing its cumulative lifetime trading volume to $145 trillion.
Beyond cryptocurrency trading, Binance continues to expand its ecosystem with broader financial solutions as part of its vision to develop a comprehensive digital finance platform. The company has also explored new asset classes and investment products, reflecting the growing convergence between traditional finance and digital assets.
The Fortune Crypto 100 recognition follows the inclusion of Yi He, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Binance, in Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business list in May 2026, marking a significant milestone for crypto industry representation in global business rankings.
Commenting on the recognition, Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, said, “This recognition by Fortune reflects what we have been building for the past nine years: an open, accessible, and trustworthy platform for people everywhere to participate in the digital economy. It also affirms Binance’s role not just as the largest exchange by volume, but as one of the defining forces shaping how the world interacts with digital assets today.”
Yi He, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Binance, added, “We have always believed that crypto’s purpose is larger than markets alone. It is about building infrastructure that gives everyone, regardless of where they are born or how much they have, more equal access to the global financial system. That mission must be built on trust through strong user protections, robust security, and confidence that user assets are backed responsibly.”
The recognition reinforces Binance’s growing role in the global digital economy and highlights the expanding influence of blockchain-based financial solutions worldwide.
