Binance has just released its 2025 annual summary, from which we can see that Binance is transitioning from a symbiotic relationship of "platform & users" to a broader and more comprehensive symbiotic relationship.
┈┈➤ "Platform & Users" Symbiosis
╰┈✦ Value Symbiosis and Flywheel
First and foremost, as a trading platform, the core aspect is, of course, trading volume. In 2025, the total trading volume of users on Binance reached $34 trillion.
The enormous trading volume and growth in trading activity serve, on one hand, as a source of income for Binance and a foundation for stable operations. On the other hand, it also guarantees the market trading depth for users, ensuring a good trading experience, which in turn attracts a large number of users.
This is the value symbiosis between Binance and its users.
Based on this value symbiosis, Binance's data growth performance is impressive.
• Average daily trading volume across products increased by 18%,
• VIP user trading volume grew by 18% year-on-year,
• Institutional trading volume grew by 21% year-on-year,
• Over-the-counter fiat trading volume grew by 210% year-on-year.
This means that Binance's trading environment has further improved, and the symbiotic value between Binance and its users has grown. Binance has formed a continuous value flywheel with retail investors, major clients, and institutional users.
╰┈✦ On-chain Symbiosis Expansion
The biggest product change for Binance in 2025 is the launch of Binance Alpha, aimed at early project hunters who are experimental and aggressive.
Binance Alpha initially focused on market price trading and gradually introduced richer trading capabilities such as limit trading, evolving into a relatively mature product system.
In fact, the relationship between Binance's main site and Alpha is similar to that of the previous Coinbase main site and Coinbase Pro. Coinbase caters to mainstream cryptocurrency trading users, while Coinbase Pro lists more niche altcoins for advanced traders.
Binance Alpha differs from Coinbase Pro in several ways:
First, Binance Alpha connects trading to on-chain liquidity, rather than being limited to platform users, which expands the market scope and trading depth.
Second, the listing of tokens on Binance Alpha occurs at earlier project stages, with many projects entering Alpha around the TGE, allowing users to participate earlier.
Third, Binance Alpha does not charge any listing fees; there are no fees for listing applications or evaluations. Instead, Binance converts most of the fees associated with listings on Alpha into airdrops or IDOs, providing benefits to Alpha users.
As a result, the symbiotic relationship between Binance and its users has been expanded, with Binance gaining more users and users receiving more benefits.
In 2025, Binance Alpha's trading volume surpassed $1 trillion, adding 17 million new Alpha users and distributing a total of $782 million through 254 airdrops.
Additionally, Binance blocked 270,000 users from improper profits through risk control, enhancing the fairness of Alpha activities and maintaining the healthy operation of the "platform & users" symbiotic relationship.
╰┈✦ Trust Anchoring in Symbiotic Relationships
In 2025, Binance's reserve proof verified the total user asset amount reached $162.8 billion, covering 45 types of assets (an increase of 32%).

╰┈✦ The Essence of Compliance is the Enhancement of Standardization and Risk Reduction
In 2025, Binance made significant progress in compliance.
Compliance itself is not a gimmick; the laws and regulations align with social values and user interests, and most laws and regulations are mature systems that have been validated over time. The enhancement of Binance's compliance makes its products and operational systems more stable.
Since 2023, Binance has reduced the risk of direct exposure to major categories of illegal funds by 96%.
5.4 million users were protected from potential fraud and scam losses, totaling $6.69 billion.
The essence of compliance is the enhancement of standardization and risk reduction. Binance, its users, and the entire industry are closely interconnected in terms of risk; pulling one thread affects the whole fabric.
╰┈✦ Bridging the Crypto Industry and Daily Life
Another major upgrade for Binance products in 2025 is the launch of OTC Select and a compensation mechanism, further improving the OTC environment in the industry.
In 2025, Binance's fiat and C2C trading volume increased by 38%, the number of payment users grew by 30%, and the number of Binance merchants exceeded 20 million.
In 2025, a total of $1.2 billion in rewards was distributed to users engaged in capital-preserving earning products.
┈┈➤ "Platform & Users & Industry & Society" Symbiosis
One of the most heartbreaking events in 2025 was the major fire in Hong Kong. In response to the suffering of fellow citizens, Binance promptly donated HKD 10 million.
Throughout 2025, Binance's charitable donations totaled approximately $5 million, benefiting 270,257 people.
The term corporate social responsibility may sound cliché, but its essence is a form of social and economic externality. Binance's contribution of $5 million will benefit society far beyond that amount in the future; this is the externality. Companies can gain a larger market by giving back to society and participating in its future progress, which is fundamentally a symbiotic relationship.
┈┈➤ Final Thoughts
From industry pioneer to global digital infrastructure, Binance is becoming an indispensable lifeline in the social ecosystem, akin to giants like Google and Amazon.
In terms of products, the biggest change for Binance in 2025 is the blurring of the boundaries of CEX. Through Binance Alpha, it integrates CEX with on-chain; through OTC and Binance Pay, it integrates CEX with daily life.
In terms of ecosystem, Binance has completed the transition from "platform & users" symbiosis to "platform & users & industry" symbiosis in 2025, moving towards a higher-dimensional "platform & users & industry & society" symbiosis.
This essence of integrated symbiosis is the evolution of Binance and Web3. Users are the seeds, the industry is the soil, and society is the ecosystem.
Whether it is Binance or the crypto space, in 2025, they are integrating into a larger ecological environment, forming a symbiotic relationship that is not just about survival but about a thriving existence.
In this cycle of continuous life, Binance is no longer a simple CEX, and Web3 is no longer an isolated island; rather, they are integrating with everything and reshaping the world.
