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.
The exchange strives to give its users access to some of the latest blockchain/DLT technologies with new cryptocurrencies being listed all the time.

It is expanding its international presence, with the recent acquisition of Sakura Exchange BitCoin and GOPAX, engendering its penetration of the Japanese and South Korean markets.
