Our take
Binance Exchange is one of the fastest and most popular cryptocurrency exchange platforms in the world, capable of processing over 1.4 million orders per second. The platform focuses on security, robustness, and execution speed - attracting enthusiasts and professional traders alike.
The Binance exchange provides access to hundreds of digital currency pairs, while maintaining security, liquidity and high-speed. The platform offers some of the lowest trading costs in the industry at 0.1% or even less through the use of Binance Coin.
