Founded in 2017 by Changpeng Zhao and Yi He, Binance operates a centralized digital asset platform serving retail and institutional users through jurisdiction-specific entities.
Its documented product range includes spot, derivatives, margin, OTC and institutional services, while access and eligibility vary by country and legal entity.
Binance publishes proof-of-reserves information and maintains public materials covering selected account controls, licences and registrations.
This profile treats those disclosures separately from independent assurance and does not assume that one entity's permissions apply globally.
Regulatory scope, fiat access and product availability should therefore be checked against the service entity used by each customer.
