What It Is
Binance (binance.com) is a cryptocurrency website for buying and selling crypto. Binance is also a cryptocurrency in itself, aka you can buy some Binance crypto from the Binance broker in addition to other broker platforms.
Binance was founded by Changpeng Zhao. In June 2024, Changpeng Zhao began a four-month prison sentence for money laundering-related charges concerning the Binance platform.
Discussion
The homepage of binance.com showed a large counter of how many people have signed up to Binance and appeared to update with live numbers. Beneath this number was a button to sign up. To the right of the number was a display of popular cryptocurrencies and their prices, as well as new crypto listings on the platform. There was also a new widget with the latest crypto industry news. I clicked a news article and it opened a new webpage on the same binance.com where the post had been authored by Binance News. 6/4/2024
