DUBAI, UAE – June 27, 2025 – Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, today announced the official launch of Binance Web3 Wallet, a revolutionary self-custody wallet solution that seamlessly integrates with the Binance ecosystem while providing users complete control over their digital assets. The new wallet supports over 30 blockchain networks and provides direct access to thousands of decentralized applications (dApps) and DeFi protocols.
Bridging CeFi and DeFi Ecosystems
The Binance Web3 Wallet represents a significant milestone in the company's mission to bridge centralized and decentralized finance. Unlike traditional exchange wallets, the Web3 Wallet operates as a true self-custody solution where users maintain exclusive control of their private keys while enjoying the convenience of Binance's user-friendly interface. This launch comes at a crucial time when DeFi trends are reshaping the financial landscape in 2025.
"We believe the future of finance is one where users have the freedom to choose between centralized and decentralized services seamlessly," said Richard Teng, CEO of Binance. "Our Web3 Wallet eliminates the complexity traditionally associated with DeFi, making it accessible to our 150 million users worldwide while ensuring they maintain complete ownership of their assets."
