Binance

Binance was founded in 2017 and is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange — 150M+ users and the highest trading volume on the market. European users could access the Binance.eu platform, but Binance did not obtain a MiCA licence and halts EU services on 1 July 2026. The exchange offers 350+ cryptocurrencies for EU users, low 0.1% fees and an unmatched product range — spot, futures, staking, P2P, Launchpad and more.

Security

Binance operates the SAFU fund (Secure Asset Fund for Users) — a reserve protecting users against hacks (over $1 billion). The platform supports 2FA, device management and IP restrictions. Binance faced regulatory challenges in the past, and in 2026 it remained without an EU MiCA licence, so it halts EU services on 1 July 2026.

Who is Binance best for?

Best for: experienced users who want the widest product range — staking, launchpad, P2P, futures and NFT. The largest market liquidity means the best prices. Downside: the interface is overwhelming for beginners; past regulatory issues create distrust for some users.
