First-Ever Fortune Crypto 100 List Places Binance Among the World’s Most Influential Companies Shaping the Digital Asset Ecosystem

Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and digital asset infrastructure provider, has been named to the CeFi category of the inaugural Fortune Crypto 100.

Built on close to nine years of sustained growth, Binance has become the platform of choice for more than 320 million users globally – from first-time investors to institutional players – and the backbone of the world’s digital asset markets.

Binance has been ranked in the CeFi category of the inaugural Fortune Crypto 100, a list independently compiled by the editorial team at Fortune. The recognition highlights Binance’s leadership in digital asset markets, its commitment to innovation and market integrity, and its role in advancing the global adoption of cryptocurrency.

As the world’s largest digital asset exchange by trading volume, [Binance](https://www.binance.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) serves more than 320 million registered users across over 100 countries. In 2025 alone, the platform processed $34 trillion in trading volume, bringing its cumulative all-time trading volume to $145 trillion — a scale that remains unmatched within the industry.

The recognition also comes as Binance continues to expand beyond crypto into broader asset classes as part of its vision to build a financial super app. Early demand for these offerings has been strong, with its stock trading product surpassing $400 million in assets under management within its first week of launch, while pre-IPO perpetual contracts linked to SpaceX generated more than $2.1 billion in cumulative trading volume within 18 days. The Fortune Crypto 100 ranking follows the inclusion of Yi He on Fortune’s Most Powerful Women in Business list in May 2026, making her the first crypto-native executive to receive the recognition in the ranking’s 29-year history. Together, these milestones reflect Binance’s growing influence and the increasing role of the digital asset industry in global business.

“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,” said Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance. “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. Being part of this inaugural list is meaningful, but what matters most to us is the trust that more than 320 million users place in Binance every day.”

“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,” said Yi He, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Binance. “That mission must be built on trust. In CeFi, trust comes from strong user protections, robust security, and the confidence that user assets are backed 1:1. Inclusion on this list, alongside the builders and institutions helping move this industry forward, is something the whole Binance team can be proud of.”

The Fortune Crypto 100 spans ten categories — including traditional finance, decentralized finance, venture capital, mining, stablecoins, and digital asset trading — and recognizes both crypto-native companies and established financial institutions. The list was independently compiled by the Fortune Crypto editorial team, informed by a survey of top crypto professionals and financial and technical analysis from Inca Digital.
