What is the significance of CZ's attendance at Davos?

In January 2026, CZ officially attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and delivered a brilliant speech.

The name of the Davos Forum is well-known, but its status may not be familiar to everyone.

The Davos Forum is widely recognized as the world’s highest-level non-governmental economic coordination platform, bringing together political leaders, central bank governors and business leaders every year to jointly assess and set the global economic agenda.

On January 22, 2026, @cz_binance officially attended the "New Era for Finance" forum, part of the official agenda of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The "New Era for Finance" forum is one of the official agenda items at the Davos main venue.

China is transitioning from a "rule taker" to a "rule maker," becoming one of the giants capable of influencing the direction of the global economy!

This directly benefited Binance's development, and Binance thus came into the view of global economic leaders.

However, numerous data points indicate that Binance is practically synonymous with the entire crypto industry. CZ's Davos moment actually signifies the ongoing global mainstreaming of the crypto industry.

Binance's Market Influence and Leadership

Static data on asset size

According to Binance Reserve Certificates, the total amount of crypto assets in Binance Wallet is $166.75 billion, 7.5 times that of the second-ranked platform. Even excluding Binance's platform token BNB, the assets in Binance Wallet still reach $134.893 billion, 6 times that of the second-ranked platform.

It also surpassed the total TVL of all DeFi protocols on the entire network ($119.664 billion).

Among them, Binance Wallet holds:

636,914.163 BTC, accounting for approximately 23.27% of the total BTC stock on all exchanges and approximately 3.2% of the total circulating BTC.

4,343,899.193 ETH, accounting for approximately 26.47% of the total ETH holdings on all exchanges and approximately 3.6% of the total circulating ETH.

38,665,008,077.439 USDT, representing approximately 20.69% of the circulating supply of USDT.

7,633,433,933.612 USDC, representing approximately 10.4% of the circulating supply of USDC.

Those familiar with blockchain technology should know that these ratios show Binance has an extremely important influence on the market.

Assets in Binance Wallets belong to the users, giving Binance's user ecosystem a leading influence in the crypto market.

Dynamic data of trading volume

According to CoinMarketCap data, Binance's 24-hour spot trading volume is $1.25 billion, which is 7.5 times that of Coinbase, the second-ranked platform.

Binance's 24-hour contract trading volume reached $29.2 billion, more than the combined volume of Bybit and Gate, which ranked third and fourth on the list.

Binance's trading volume data shows that Binance's user base not only boasts the world's largest cryptocurrency asset portfolio, but is also a highly active user group.

With such asset size and trading activity, Binance users' trading sentiment and behavior have a significant leading influence on the entire crypto market.

Comprehensive user behavior data

When you divide 24-hour spot trading volume by asset storage, Binance has the smallest ratio. This is because many Binance users use Binance as an asset storage platform or even a payment tool, not just a trading venue.

This is because Binance's security is widely trusted. Even in Web3 payment scenarios, when both the sender and receiver mention UID, the default setting is the Binance UID.

Binance's 24-hour derivatives trading volume to spot trading volume ratio is in the lower-middle range, which shows that Binance users are not primarily engaged in aggressive contract trading, but are not overly conservative either.

Therefore, Binance is the top choice for users for asset storage, payment and receipt, and both conservative investment and aggressive trading.

Returns from retained assets

Binance Proof of Reserves is backed by a massive amount of retained assets, which provide users with significant returns.

Throughout 2025, Binance distributed $1.2 billion in rewards to users through its Principal Guaranteed Earn program.

Binance offers such investment returns to its users thanks to two major product innovations in 2025: the Alpha Market and OTC Premium Selection. These innovations have integrated Binance into the on-chain ecosystem and improved the daily connection between Web3 and Web2.

This has further increased Binance's size and accelerated the co-prosperity of on-chain and off-chain development within Web3, as well as its coupling with Web2. This growth and integration has enhanced Binance's core competitiveness and benefited Web3 users. This demonstrates Binance's sense of responsibility and pioneering spirit as an industry leader, guiding the industry forward.

Binance's product reputation and user base

Product Reputation

Data from Google and Apple shows that Binance is the most popular crypto app in the market, with the highest user activity and the best reputation.

On Google Play, the Binance app is the most downloaded crypto app, with over 100 million downloads worldwide and a rating of 4.6.

Secondly, Trust Wallet and Coinbase, both with over 50 million downloads, are also included. Coinbase has a 4.4 rating in the US (lower ratings in other regions).

Next are TradingView, Metamask, Phantom, and Bybit, all with over 10 million downloads.

On the Apple App Store, Binance has a 4.8-star rating from 13,000 reviews, while Coinbase has a 4.5-star rating from 7,500 reviews.

Generally speaking, it's impossible to please everyone; the more users there are and the more people participate in the evaluation, the lower the rating tends to be.

However, more user reviews resulted in higher ratings for the Binance app. This confirms that Binance is not only the crypto application with the largest user base, but also boasts an exceptional user experience.

Binance's product standards have, to some extent, defined the highest user experience standard in the crypto industry.

Number of users

By December 2025, Binance's total number of users will exceed 300 million, accounting for 4.2% of the global adult population.

By analyzing Google search trends, we can understand the actual demand from web users.

Without a doubt, Binance remains firmly in first place.

Binance is the most searched platform, including leading CEXs, DEXs, wallets, and even comprehensive analytics platforms.

Binance's overall data even surpasses that of the comprehensive financial analytics platform TradingView. The preceding data shows that the Binance app's Android downloads are approximately 10 times that of TradingView.

These data collectively confirm the fact that Binance is the cryptocurrency platform with the largest user base and the most popular offering. Binance's user behavior and ecosystem trends are highly representative and influential on the entire cryptocurrency market.

Binance's Path to Security and Compliance

Safety

On the backend, Binance stores the vast majority of its assets in offline cold wallets and a small portion in hot wallets to protect user funds.

On the front end, in addition to standard multi-factor authentication, hardware keys, and anti-phishing codes, many other security technologies are employed. For example, AI technology is used to monitor abnormal transaction behavior and to keep a close eye on insecure addresses on the blockchain. When the system detects logins from different locations, large suspicious withdrawals, signs of account takeover, or transfers to insecure addresses, Binance will automatically trigger a forced lockout or manual intervention.

...

In addition to technological preventative measures and ongoing controls, Binance has also established a $1 billion Asset Protection Fund (SAFU) to provide emergency assistance in the event of an incident.

Compliance

The essence of compliance remains user asset security and risk avoidance.

As of January 2026, Binance holds licenses or has completed registration in more than 20 countries and regions, including Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Dubai, Pakistan, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Poland, and Lithuania.

Among them, ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market), which came into effect in early 2026, is a global license. ADGM is a financial center regulated by the FSRA (Financial Services Regulatory Authority), which strictly monitors the capital adequacy ratio, asset segregation, and global market behavior of its operating entities. The rights and interests of users and risk control of financial institutions under its supervision can be relatively effectively managed.

Since 2023, Binance has been continuously deepening its efforts in security and compliance, reducing the risk of the platform directly contacting major illicit fund categories by 96%.

Binance has prevented 5.4 million users from potential scams and fraud, saving a total of $6.69 billion.

In conclusion

CZ is not just an ordinary participant in Davos, but as the founder of Binance and a leading figure in crypto innovation, he is among the drivers reshaping the global financial landscape.

This directly benefits Binance's compliant operations and market expansion globally.

The benefits for Binance are actually equivalent to benefits for the industry and users.

When CZ sat on the guest seat at the Davos Forum, its significance transcended CZ and Binance themselves. At that moment, CZ represented not only Binance, but Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and the entire crypto industry. CZ's voice was a voice for the entire crypto industry. CZ's trip to Davos marked the crypto industry's entry into the mainstream of the global economy. Crypto is no longer a niche field; crypto is destined for greatness.
