1 in every 27 people joined Crypto, built the trust of 300 million users; How did crypto become the choice of common people in 2025?
New Delhi The year 2025 has ended and this year proved to be a turning point for the world of crypto. Technology which was once considered difficult, risky and limited only to experts, is now becoming a part of the everyday lives of common people. Today nearly 300 million people around the world trust Binance for their digital assets. In simple words, one out of every 27 people in the world has been associated with crypto in some form or the other. This figure shows that digital assets are no longer on the margins, but have become a part of people's money and future planning.
2025: A year of ups and downs, uncertainty and big decisions
2025 has not been easy for the global economy. There were sharp fluctuations in the markets. Expectations were raised regarding new technology, and then there were disappointments in many places. Trade tension increased between the countries, and due to government work being stopped in America, even economic data could not be received on time. These circumstances increased the concern of investors.
But in this uncertain environment the crypto industry showed its strength. The biggest change is that now governments and regulators are not ignoring crypto, but are making rules after understanding it. The passage of the GENIUS Act in July 2025 signals that rules are no longer a hindrance, but a means of security and trust. Most of the big countries of the world have moved towards a clear and fixed framework for crypto. This made it clear that the “era without rules” was being left behind.

Common investors and big institutions: the difference is almost over
There was a time when crypto was seen in two parts – retail i.e. common people on the one hand and big companies on the other. This wall was broken to a great extent in 2025. Participation from retail users on Binance grew rapidly and retail trading increased by 125%. Additionally, large financial institutions are now openly investing in digital assets.
Many surveys show that a large part of professional investors have already invested money in crypto, and the rest are in preparation. The impact is clear – big companies are now launching bonds and other financial products on blockchain. That means traditional finance and crypto are no longer separate worlds.
Trust and security: the biggest responsibility
The trust of 300 million people is not built just like that. Behind this are security, transparency and strength of the system. Today, approximately $162.8 billion of users' assets are held on Binance. This information is shown publicly through Proof of Reserves, so that users can see for themselves that their money is safe.
Binance getting a license from a strict regulatory system like ADGM of Abu Dhabi and obtaining international data security certification also strengthens this trust. With the help of AI based systems, frauds worth millions of dollars were stopped and millions of users were saved from possible losses. In many cases, help was also provided in recovering the defrauded money.
2026: Expecting more clarity and stability
2025 showed the direction and expectations have increased further from 2026. The global economy is slowly recovering. New technology like AI will make work faster and easier. Governments and central banks are focusing on increasing liquidity. Additionally, new laws will clarify how on-chain assets are viewed and used. Future growth will be based not just on rumors or enthusiasm, but on regulations, institutional participation, and real use. When countries start seeing Bitcoin as a reserve asset and on-chain assets reach the trillion dollar level, it will not only be a bull market, but a major change in the finance system.
40 lakh people have received help
The world is changing, but the goal is clear – financial freedom and reliable systems. Whether someone is buying crypto for the first time or managing large sums of money, the focus is on making the path easier for everyone. Emphasis on security, rules and education will increase. So far, more than 40 lakh people have got help through programs like Binance Junior and Binance Charity. This journey is still ongoing, and those who think about better systems are the real force behind this change.
